fuscous; legs yellow, darker at base, tarsi paler ; wings hyaline, slightly tinged with fuscous in 
the middle, nervures black. Metanotum with a distinct keel down its centre, the sides 
•distinctly margined, narrowed obliquely towards the apex, depressed inside the lateral keels. 
Head and thorax not very shining, smooth, front and vertex with some minute punctures. 
Vertex rather deeply, widely, roundly emarginate. Antennal scape separated from the ocelli 
by one-third of their length. Ocelli in a curve, the hinder separated from each other by 
double the distance that they are from the eyes. Palpi yellow. Apex of clypeus slightly, 
roundly incised. 
Thorax finely, closely punctured and sparsely haired ; the abdomen much more shining. 
The under side of the base of the antennal flagellum may be testaceous; the coxa} may be 
blackish. The stigznal vein is as long as the postmarginal. Thorax roundly narrowed at 
the base. Seutellum large, longer than wide, the apex broadly rounded. Abdomen shorter than 
the thorax and wider than it, broadly oval. 
Habitat: Hay, New South Wales. 
Type: Query.

Genus' NEOCx^TOLACCUS Ashmead.

Female: — Length, 2.20 mm. 
With all of the characters of the genus but the spiracular sulcus certainly somewhat 
obscure and the transveise carina on the propodeum does not approach the median carina on 
each side; also the propodeal spiracles are rather small, elliptical. Antenna) like those figured
