club joints. Mandibles tridentate. Clypeus convexly pro- 
duced, entire. Marginal vein moderately long, about 
twice the length of the stigmal, the postmarginal exceed- 
ing the marginal, elongate. Ciliation normal. Pronotum 
cross-quadrate, shorter than the scutum, the latter’s fur- 
rows deep. A distinct cross-suture before the apex of the 
scutellum. Petiole distinct, transverse. Propodeon with 
distinct, converging spiracular sulci, whose lateral edges 
are carinated. Spiracle small, round. Segments Nos. 2, 
4 of the abdomen equal, each a third the length of the 
surface. No. 3 shorter but next longest ; ovipositor nearly 
as long as the abdomen. Lateral ocelli closer to the eye 
than to the cephalic. Two hind tibial spurs. 
Blue-green, the wings clear, the legs except the coxae 
and the hind femur, the antennae and the tegulae, brown- 
yellow. Finely cross-reticulated, the scutellum beyond the 
suture and the propodeon laterad of the sulci, glabrous as 
is also the abdomen. Pedicel not especially long, exceed- 
ing all the funicle segments which increase distad and are 
wider than long, the first nearly twice so, No. 5 over 
thrice so. A few longish setae from the vertex. Several 
cross-rows of fine setae are upon the pronotum, the scutum 
with more scattered and longer ones, the scutellum with 
four equal to those of the scutum. The discal ciliation 
extends to the base of the wing. The male is similar in 
colour. A male, two females reared from leaf-galls pn 
Eucalyptus at Toowong on December 10th, 1920, by Mr. 
Hubert Jarvis. 
Coccophagus horatii nov. 
Belongs to that group of species where the abdomen 
is entirely black, the first segment of the funicle is not 
abruptly shortest, none of the funicle segments are elon- 
gate and the wings bear a distinct fuscous band. Runs 
to vegai and allies and closest to ashmeadi and its varieties, 
but differs from the latter in that the scutum is all yellow, 
the axilla black, as also nearly all the pronotum and the 
meso-metapleurum ; the first segment of the funicle is 
narrower than the others and equal to the first club joint. 
Legs pale. Two females reared from Eriococcus on 
Eucalyptus , Indooroopilly, Jan., 1932. 
Coccophagoides aurithorax nov. 
Of the six species this one is characterised by having 
segment No. 2 of the funicle one-half shorter than the 
moderately long pedicel and square, the first segment dis- 
tinctly wider than long and about half the length of the 
second. Head and thorax except mesopleurum and axillae 
4 tnd the base) of the abdomen very narrowly, golden. Hind
