(ba(se), ocellar spots, upper half of the occiput (at meson 
above incised with yellow and with a thin green line 
across, the scape above at distal half and below at base ; 
the pedicel above, the distal margin of the scutellum, the 
lateral margins of the axillae, the lateral margins of the 
abdomen above and below brokenly; the hind coxae, the 
hind femora at not quite basal half above, often only at 
the lower half, always less beneath; the fore femora at a 
narrow line at centre of the lower side ; and the middle 
femora above the basal half. Mandibles 4- and 5-dentate. 
Postmarginal, vein nearly as long as the stigmal, the vena- 
tion yellow, the stigmal knob dusky. * First segment of the 
funicle square. 
The male, though smaller, is about the same, but the 
cheeks are all pale, the antennae lighter, and the abdomen 
pale laterally only at wide centre narrowly and straightly. 
Other characteristics (structures) are in MS. From many 
pairs from the ova of Gonipterus, Canberra, F.C.T., A. L.

Gyrolasella iphigenia nov. 
In my revision of the species runs to hemansi, but 
differs thus: Only the meson of the pronotum is green; 
there is no band across the base of the clypeus ; the mesal 
half or more of the parapside is green; the green of the 
scutellum is full at base and always a bit narrower at 
apex (that of the pronotum might be all in the variety, 
that of the scutum might suddenly narrow distad to a 
median line or else fill the whole scutum, and so with the 
postscut ellum) ; hind coxae nearly all green (usually at 
least above) ; there is a blotch on each femur at ventral 
half, at basal half more or less (ventral and central in the 
fore and middle femora) : this blotch is invariably pre- 
sent. The lines of the abdomen, though similar, yet 
differ thus — the first three (or even five) are joined very 
widely along the meson by suffused metallic, and the first 
two lines are represented only by marginal dots; No. 3 is. 
thin and somewhat before the middle ; No. 4 thicker and 
beyond middle ; No. 5 is thick (its width from No. 4) ; the 
curved thin No. 6 is very near to the apex. The whole 
disk of the abdomen ventrad is black (the marginal bands 
showing laterad). 
The male is smaller, the head and antennae yellow^ 
and with the two proximal dots, the legs unmarked, 
the disc of the abdomen above metallic, the margins wavy 
Ocellar area green. In both sexes, the cephalic meso- 
pleurum and various marks upon the meso-venter are 
golden. Many specimens of both sexes reared with
