MEMOIRS OF THE QUEENSLAND MUSEUM. 
The antenna) of sain t pier rei and pinguis are identical; pinguis is much darker in general 
•color and the two species seem to differ in the details of the sculpturing on the propodeum but 
which is not describable. Upon comparison I could not detect other differences. Both species 
resemble the figure given of the genotype by Riley. 
Genus ASAPHOMOBPHELLA Girault. 
Antennae 8-jointed, the club solid, no ring-joint but the first funicle joint transverse, 
■only half the length of the second; hind tibial spur very long and stout; mandibles tridentate; 
propodeum very short, transverse, but medially broadly produced beyond the insertion of the 
hind coxae as in Lelaps ; abdomen short, stout, its petiole short and stout, the second segment 
occupying three fourths of the surface, the ovipositor exserted for over half the length of the 
abdomen. Hind femur swollen. Wings fasciate, the marginal vein a little over twice the 
length of the stigmal which is a third longer than the postmarginal. Ho carinae on metathorax. 
Funicle joints wider than long, the club large, ovate. 
1. ASAPHOMORPHELLA ROUSSEAUI Girault. Female. Genotype. 
Honey yellow, the distal two thirds of abdomen and hind tibiae fuscous, also the flagellum, 
the club black. Fore wing with a large subspherical smoky area across it from the stigmal 
vein and a transverse smoky stripe at the bend of the submarginal vein where there is also . 
a dense clump of black bristles. 
Habitat: Port Lincoln, South Australia. 
Type: No. 1.1342 , South Australian Museum, Adelaide. 
ASAPHOIDEUS new genus. 
Female : — Agreeing with Asaphes Walker but the antennas only 11-jointed with one 
ring-joint, the club 3-jointed, the funicle joints transverse, the flagellum clavate. Mandibles 
strongly tridentate. Marginal vein twice the length of the stigmal, the latter a third shorter 
than the postmarginal. Pronotum large, as long as the scutum, and quite as in the Eurytomidae. 
Scutellum with a foveate cross- furrow at proximal two thirds, beyond that polished. Propodeum 
with median and lateral carinae, the former forking at apex and joining the distal ends of the 
lateral carinae. Petiole long, the abdomen conic-ovate, the fifth segment occupying over half 
the surface. Thorax finely lined. Hind tibia! spar normal. Antenna) inserted at the mouth 
border. 
Male : — Not known. 
This genus resembles a nonpunctate genus of the Eurytomini but I think I have correctly 
allied it with the Asaphine Sphegigasterini. 
Type: The following species. 
1. ASAPHOIDEUS NIGER new species. 
Female: — Leiigth, 1.50 mm. 
Black, the wungs hyaline; abdomen polished. Knees, tibiae and tarsi yellowish brown. 
Antennae yellow. 
Described from one female labelled li No. 12 Stapleton, N.T. 1.5.13. G. F. Hill. ” 
Habitat: Stapleton, Northern Territory. 
Type: No. Hyl963, Queensland Museum, the above specimen on a tag, the head and a 
hind leg on a slide.
