Genus ASYNTOMOSPHYRUM Girault.

a little longer than the rest of the body. 
1. ASYNTOMOSPHYRUM PAX Girault. Female. Genotype. 
Sooty black, the wings hyaline, the scute! lum chocolate brown, the lower face and 
vertex lemon yellow; trochanters, knees, tips of tibia? and tarsi (also cephalic tibia?) whitish 
yellow. Scape pallid, the antenna) dusky yellow, 9-jointed with one ring-joint, the funicle joints 
shorter than the pedicel, the first Subquadrate, the second transverse, short, smallest, the third 
twice longer than 2, hemispherical. Club much wider than the funicle and longer than it and a 
little longer than the moderate scape which is compressed. The abdomen pointed conic, a 
little longer than the head and thorax combined, the ovipositor not exserted. Fore wings ample, 
very closely, densely, uniformly eiliate, the marginal cilia short, the stigmal vein long and 
slender. Mandibles tridentate.

Type: No. Hy 1864, Queensland Museum. 
2. ASYNTOMOSPHYRUM ACUTIVENTRIS new species. 
Female: — Length, 1.00 mm., excluding ovipositor. Small and slender. 
Very dark metallic blackish green and sculptured as in Tetrastichus but most finely, the 
wings hyaline. Abodomen long and conically produced, (excluding ovipositor) over twice the 
length of the thorax, the ovipositor longly exserted, the exserted x>ortion nearly as long as the 
thorax. Lateral grooves of scutellum nearly in the lateral aspect, hardly visible from above. 
Antenna? 9-jointed, with one ring-joint, the funicle joints all longer than wide, the distal two 
subequal and longest, subequal in length to the pedicel. Scape and pedicel pallid, the 
flagellum dusky. Tibia? x>ale yellowish, the tarsi dusky. 
Male : — Not known. 
Described from two females captured by sweeping in jungle country, June, 1913 (F. P.

DIAGNOSIS OF THE GENERA OF TETRASTICHINE EULOPHIDHL 
Females. Australia. 
TETBA3TICHINI. 
The tribe is characterised by the sessile abdomen. 
I. Funicle 3-jointed. 
1. Mesoscutum without a median sulcus; scutellum with four grooved lines. 
Antennal club solid. 
Antennae 8-jointed with two ring-joints, the scape somewhat swollen, the funicle 
joints not elongate, more or less quadrate. 
Selitrichodes Girault (Type: S. fasciativentris Girault). 
Antennae 9-jointed with three ring- joints, the scape slender, the funicle joints 
elongate. Trichaporoidella Girault (Type: T. aenea Girault). 
* The thoracic grooves are distinct sulci and not to be confused with impressions due to shrivelling ; those 
of the scutum and scutellum are alike.
