November, 1940 The Queensland Naturalist 107 
tooth widely truncate (both sides). Seventh funicle a 
third longer than wide. 
Black as follows: Upper occiput, antennae as above, 
cephalic margin of the scutum and propodeum, spiracular 
and dorso-lateral sulci of the propodeum ; a spot each side 
of the median line of the propodeum toward apex 
(foveum), apex of the axilla (distal end), median line of 
the venter of the meso-thorax, base of the middle coxa 
cephalad (continuously), same very narrowly of the fore 
coxa; two abdominal bands (across), the second at 
middle; and a dorso-lateral stripe to the apex from the 
second cross-band. The first cross-band of the abdomen is 
between the second and the base, both bands interrupted 
at the meson; ovipositor valves. Metatarsus longer than 
with limoni, over three times longer than wide, much ex- 
ceeding the longer one of the hind tibial spur. 
The collector and rearer of this species has written 
to me that this species does not destroy the gall-former, 
Trichilog aster (called by him acaciae-longifoliae, though I 
think this is doubtful, maybe), until the latter has 
pupated. 
The type material was reared from flower-galls on 
Acacia florabunda, Botanic Gardens, Sydney, Nov. 27, 
1937 (two type females) ; a cotype female from the same 
tree, same gall, Dec. 8, 1936; and a cotype female from 
the same, Killara, Dec. 28, 1937. 
In the above description, comparisons were with 
types of the species mentioned. 
GENUS AMONODONTOMERUS GIRAULT 
Aynonodontomerus noblei Girault, nov. 
From the species poeta : Thrice larger, the ovipositor 
somewhat longer, equal to the abdomen, the propodeon 
with a median carina, the pronotum longer and with at 
least one more row' of setigerous punctures; the scutum is 
setigerous (segment No. 2 of the abdomen is twice the 
length of No. 3 and equal to the large No. 4, as in the 
other species) ; and so forth. The scape is red. Runs 
in my modernised tables, to the species fulgens, except 
that the hind femur is metallic, but it is twice larger (but 
not always so) , the ovipositor is equal to the abdomen, 
and therefore is twdce longer, there is one or two row's 
more of setigerous punctures upon the pronotum, the 
vertex and the upper occiput is much more hairy, the 
first joint of the funicle is somewhat longer than wdde,
