PLEUROTROPPOPSIS new genus. 
Female: — Body stout, agreeing with Pleurotropis and the antennas 10-jointed but with 
three distinct ring- joints, the club only 2- jointed, the second joint terminating in a prominent 
•setiform process. Eyes very hairy. Propodeum polished, strongly tricarinate. Stigmal vein 
very short, the postmarginal rather long, about twice the length of the stigmal. Parapsidal 
furrows represented by a long wedge-shaped sulcus running halfway up from caudal margin 
then narrowing from apex of the wedge and curving off, ending in the dorso-lateral aspect a 
little before cephalic margin in a fovea. Another larger and deep fovea at cephalic margin 
of scutum just meso-cephalad of the fovea and of the furrow. Petiole short; second abdominal 
■segment occupying only a fourth of the surface. Scutellum simple. Mandibles with only two 
distinct teeth. Submarginal vein hardly broken, shorter than the marginal. 
Male: — Not known. 
Type: The following species. 
1. PLEUROTROPPOPSIS MACULATIPENNIS new species. 
Female: — Length, 2.10 mm. 
Metallic blue-green, the legs concolorous except tips of tibieo and tarsi -which are white; 
venation sooty, the fore wing with a large dusky rounded blotch under the apex of the 
marginal and the stigmal veins. Pronotum subfoveate, the mesonotum scaly reticulated and 
sort of transversely lineolated. First ring- joint and proximal part of scape whitish, rest of 
antenna concolorous; funicle joints long, one side convex, the first longest, the third shortest, 
subequal to the rather long pedicel, both club joints shorter than the latter (excluding the 
terminal seta). 
Described from one female captured by sweeping in a jungle pocket, July 24, 1913 
(A. P. Dodd). 
Habitat: Nelson (Cairns), Queensland. 
Type: No. Hy 1651, Queensland Museum, the above specimen on a tag, the head on a 
slide with type head of Achrysocharella aurea Girault. 
PLEUROTEOPOPSEUS new genus. 
Female: — Like Apleurolropis Girault but the propodeum with a median carina instead 
of a sulcus, the lateral Carinas Y-shaped, the arms of the Y oblique, pointing more or less 
■cephalo-laterad. Also the median groove of scutum is confined to distal fourth. Parapsidal 
furrows mere sutures, complete but curved off rather shortly laterad. Mandibles tridentate. 
Stigmal vein very short but longer than the postmarginal. Wings hyaline. 
Male : — Unknown. 
Type: The following species. 
1. PLEUROTRQPOPSEUS PURPUREA new species. 
Female: — Length, 1.75 mm. 
Dark metallic purple, polished, the abdomen at base blue, tarsi yellowish. Antennas 
■concolorous, the first two funicle joints subequal, as long as the club, the third funicle joint a 
third shorter, longer than the pedicel. Thorax reticulated. 
Described from one female captured by sweeping in the jungle, July 26, 1913.
