Genus TRICHOGLENES Thomson. 
1. TRICHOGLENES BRACONOPHAGUS Cameron. 
Trickoglenes (?) braconophagus Cameron, 1912, pp. 214-215. 
‘ ‘ Trichoglenes ( ?) braeonophagus, sp. n. 
“ Head and thorax dark bronzy-black, closely reticulated; abdomen smooth and 
shining, violaceous-black; metanotum slightly more finely reticulated than the seutellum, its 
sides bordered by a distinct, roundly curved furrow ; its apex is much more strongly reticulated 
than the rest; pronotum less strongly than mesonotum; apex of metanotum with a rounded 
slope. Antennal scape and legs rufo-fulvous. Wings hyaline, nervures ruf o-testaceous ; 
stigmal branch longisli, curved, as long as postmarginal, dilated at apex; the two forming a 
longish triangle, longer than it is wide at the apex; apex of wings shortly ciliated. £ 
Length, 1.5 mm. 
f ‘ Sydney; ‘ parasitic on a Braconid parasite’; 21st June.” 
“ From the appearance and structure of the cocoons, I have no doubt that they are 
those of an A panicles, which, from their spinning their cocoons in company, are preyed upon 
by various Parasitic Hymenoptera, Ichneumonidce (e.g., Hemiteles), Braconidce , Chalcididce, 
and Pro dot ryp idee . 
“ The abdomen in the £ is broadly oval, in the g it is longer (but still shorter than 
the thorax), and much more sharply pointed at the apex; the ovipositor shortly projects. 
The femora and tibiae are darker- coloured, more infuscated, in the £ than in the There is 
a broad, smooth keel on the apex of proplcuroe, and a shorter, narrower one on the base of 
the mesopleunn. The second abdominal segment is slightly shorter than all the following 
united, the third is about one-half its length. Flagellum of antenna) densely pilose; antennae 
inserted opposite the end of the eyes. 
“ I am not certain about the generic position of this species, owing to my not being 
able to make out, with certainty, if the eyes are pilose or bare. If pilose, the species might 
be referred to Trichoglenes Thomas. ■ * 
Tribe RAPHITELINI. 
Genus NASONIA Girault and Sanders. 
1. NASONIA BREVICORNIS Girault and Sanders. 
This species is parasitic upon the house or typhoid fly and may be found in Australia. 
So far it has not been found out of the United States of America except, perhaps, at Honolulu. 
Muscidifurax raptor should also be looked for here.* 
Tribe ROPTROCERINI. 
Genus ORMY ROMORPH A Girault. 
Hind tibiae with the spur very long and stout. Antenna) with three ring-joints, the club 
solid, eleven joints, the funicle joints wider than long and subpetiolate, shorter than the pedicel. 
Abdomen subsessile, stout, conic-ovate, somewhat longer than the rest of the body, densely 
•scaly and with scattered thimble punctures. Fore wings banded, the stigmal and postmarginal 
veins rather long and subequal, each about two thirds the length of the marginal. Propodeum 
with a median carina two thirds complete from base; no other caringo, no sulci. Parapsidal 
furrows incomplete. Both mandibles tridentate. Pubescence of mesonotum somewhat like 
that of Catolaccus. 
* Later, a specimen was found from Brisbane.
