TJRACR1A8 new genus. 
Female: — Antenna) 10-jointed with three ring-joints, the club 2-jointed; scutum and 
scutellum simple; postmarginal vein absent, the stigmal vein very short; propodeum at the 
meson with a median carina which forks at base and which is bounded on each side by a 
sulcus whose lateral margin is acute, forming earinse, the propodeum thus tricarinate at the 
meson. True lateral carina) absent but in the vicinity of the spiracle, the propodeum with a 
iong sulcus originating at apical meson, running along the caudal margin of the segment, 
then across the propodeum to cephalic margin like a lateral carina then curving off laterad. 
A short, oblique carina at cephalic margin of propodeum a little laterad of the lateral carina a* 
the meson. Propodeum glabrous, the thorax otherwise with coarse polygonal reticulation, the 
lines raised. Second abdominal segment longest, occupying about a fourth of the surface. 
Petiole moderate in length. Mandibles strongly bidentate. 
Male : — Not known. 
Type: The following species. 
1. URACRIAS EXCELSUS new species. 
Female: — Length, 1.20 mm. 
Dark blue, the propodeum and abdomen dark metallic green, the wings hyaline, the legs 
dark blue except the knees, tips of tibia) and the three proximal tarsal joints. Scape whitish 
along proximal half, the antenna) otherwise dark blue. Pedicel longer than any of the funicle 
joints of which 1 is a little the longest, distinctly longer than wide, 3 not much shorter but 
wider. Club conical, with a terminal nipple, the first joint largest. 
Described from one female captured by sweeping in the forest, August 14, 1913. 
Habitat: Nelson (Cairns), Queensland.

fore leg on a slide. 
TABLE TO THE PEDIOBIINE GENERA OF EULOPHIDJE. 
Australia. Females. 
The mesoscutum is entire, the parapsidal furrows wholly absent or represented by mere 
traces of depressions eaudad, not by elongate sulci nor distinct depressions caudad nor by 
grooves from either end. The abdomen is sessile or petiolate. The form is like that of the 
Entedonini. Rarely or never marked other than with metallic color. 
Scutellum simple. 
I. Antennal club solid. 
Antenna) 7-jointed with one ring-joint; postmarginal and stigmal veins very short; 
second segment of abdomen occupying half of the surface, the petiole 
wider than long; scutellum simple, the propodeum with a pair of diverging 
median Carinas and two lateral carina). 
Pediobomyia Girault (Type : P . darwim Girault). 
II. Antennal club 2- jointed. 
Antenna) 9-jointed 'with one ring-joint, the funicle 4-jointed; postmarginal and 
stigmal veins long and slender; propodeum without carina); petiole short 
and stout. Eriglyptoideus Girault (Type : E. varicornis Girault).
