1. SP AL AN GIOMORPH A FASCIATIPENNIS Girault. Female. Genotype. 
Reddish brown, the abdomen black, the fore wing with a brownish stripe across it from 
the distal half of the marginal and the stigmal veins, the band not crossing to the cephalic 
margin at the stigmal vein; also beneath (against) the tuft of seta* a small brownish spot. 
Longest marginal cilia equal nearly to a third of the greatest wing width. Scutum and 
scutellum metallic purplish black; petiole of abdomen (which is short) and the legs yellowish. 
Glabrous, the propodeum finely transversely lineolated. Face more yellowish about, the clypeus. 
Club black, the distal funicle joint fuscous, rest of antenna yellowish brown; pedicel somewhat 
knger than the first funicle joint which is slightly longer than wide, the distal joint of funicle 
wider than long. Pedicel not long. Ovipositor slightly exserted. 
Habitat: Port Douglas, Nelson and Cooktown, Queensland; Port Darwin, Northern 
Territory. 
Type: No. Hyl992, Queensland Museum. 
This species is rather commonly met with on the windows of grocery stores and Mr. 
G. F. Hill has sent me specimens from the Northern Territory, where he reared it from a 
4 ‘ grain moth.” 
2. SPALANGIOMORPHA FRATER new species. 
Female : — Length, 1.35 mm., excluding ovipositor. 
Very similar to fasciatipennis but the first funicle joint wider than long, the thorax 
wholly reddish brown (scutum and scutellum tinged with purplish) ; in the type species, the 
pronotum is washed with metallic purple in addition to the scutum and scutellum which are 
metallic purple; the brownish abdominal petiole is longer as is also the exserted portion 
of the ovipositor (whitish at base in both species). The propodeum is finely, transversely 
lineolated in both species, the rather long second abdominal segment deeply incised at meson 
can dad. In f rater, the stripe across the fore wing appears 1o project distad at centre far 
beyond the stigmal vein; the exserted portion of the ovipositor is over a fourth the length 
of the abdomen. 
Male : — Not known. 
Described from one female captured by sweeping in a jungle pocket, September 8, 1913 
(A. P. Dodd). 
Habitat: Nelson (Cairns), Queensland.
