MEMOIRS OF THE QUEENSLAND MUSEUM. 
Described from one female captured by sweeping in the forest, August 3, 1913. 
Dedicated to Ernst Haeckel. 
Habitat: Nelson (Cairns), Queensland. 
Type: No. By 1709, Queensland Museum. The above specimen on a tag, the head, 
fore wing and hind legs on a slide. 
Subfamily APHELININiE.* 
Tribe APHELININI. 
Genus APIIELINHS Dalinan. 
Fore wings with an oblique hairless line from the stigmal vein; antenna) of both sexes 
6 jointed, two small funicle joints, the club 2-joint.ed, the distal joint longest. Ovipositor not 
much exserted. 
Synonym : Paraphelinus Perkins. 
The forms named Paraphelinus Perkins intergrade with the forms of Aphelinus Dalman, 
as the Australian species show, so that obviously there are not two genera represented by 
them. Paraphelinus must therefore fall as a true synonym of Aphelinus. 
1. APHELINUS DIES Girault. Female. 
Black, the antenna) and legs lemon yellow, the hind coxa black; wings hyaline; 
abdomen lemon yellow and with obscure dusky cross-stripes; discal cilia proximad of hairless 
line arranged in two long lines with a third short line (2-3 cilia) and six or seven times 
coarser than the main ciliation.

* Elsewhere I give reasons for considering this group the same as the Taneostigmini of the Encyrtidse. I he 
group must form a subfamily of the Encyrtidse,
