MEMO IBS OF THE QUEENSLAND AlU SEEM. 
Genus PARI' RIOS Girault. 
Wings very small, with a very long marginal vein, the stigmal and postmarginal veins 
short, subequal, the hind wings perfect. Parapsidal furrows nearly meeting eaudad. 
Propodeum with a median carina whose middle is crossed by a semicircular carina and whose 
apex is forked. Second segment of abdomen over a third of the length of that region. 
Antennas 12-jointed, no ring-joint, the first funiele joint longest but not as long as the pedicel. 
Scutum conical, the scutellum with a cross-line of fovea) at distal third. No true lateral 
carina on propodeum. Pilfering from Urios Girault from North America in lacking a ring- 
joint in the antenna), the median groove and the sulci of propodeum and in the shape of the 
mesothoraeie sclerites, the lower antennal insertion (here at tbe ventral ends of the eyes), the 
infuscated wings aud ringed antennas and the slight and short parapsidal furrows. With a 
distinct lelapine habitus. Mandibles tridentate. 
1. PARURIOS AUSTRALIANA Girault. Female. 
Shining reddish brown, the legs concolorons, also the scape and pedicel; first two funiclc 
joints and the club whitish, the rest of the funiele nearly black. Abdomen with a broad darker 
stripe across base, a narrower one across the middle and with the conical distal third of the 
same dark color but dorsad also washed with more or less metallic green. A broad band of 
opaque black across the mesonotum at the base of the fore wings. Pise of fore wings with a 
large fuscous cloud from distal third of the marginal vein, the whole blade light brown, densely 
pubescent distad and nearly truncate at apex. Petiole of abdomen longitudinally striate. 
Thorax alutaceous, a few T punctures in the cross-band of black and the scattered, long, black 
bristles. 
Habitat: Ourimbali, New South Wales. 
Type: No .1.1266, South Australian Museum, Adelaide. 
Genus PTEROSEMOIPEA Girault. 
Like Pterosema Foerster but the antenna) with three ring- joints; propodeum long, with 
lateral carina) and an obscure, obtuse median carina at base only, the neck distinct. Post- 
marginal vein long, nearly as long as the marginal which is a third longer than the well- 
developed stigmal. Abdominal petiole short. At least one mandible 4-dentate. Pilfers from 
Pterosemella in lacking the complete median carina on the propodeum. Segment 3 of abdomen 
only half the length of the second, the abdomen acutely couvexed beneath at middle. 
1. PTEROSEMOIDEA FLAVIPES Girault. Female. Genotype. 
Metallic grass green, the abdomen darker; punctate, including the propodeum; scape 
and legs except tarsi brownish yellow; rest of antenna) dusky yellowish. Wings hyaline. Scape 
long and slender; pedicel somewhat shorter than the first funiele joint which is subequal to 
the next two joints, the distal joint only slightly wider than long. Club somewhat wider than 
the funiele, 3- jointed, ovate. 
Habitat: Port Lincoln, South Australia. 
Type: No. 1.1339, South Australian Museum, Adelaide. 
Genus APTEROSEMOIPEA Girault. 
Pilfers from Pterosemoidea Girault in having the abdomen flat, not couvexed beneath 
nor sunken above, the second and third segments long and subequal, together occupying over 
half of the surface; neck of propodeum much less distinct. Petiole nearly as long as the 
hind coxo.
