along meson of alnlomen in a line from base, dusky black. Thus much like the species niveipes 
but more robust, the autciinal club lacks the itrommeut terminal spine and the mesothorax has 
a complete median sulcus. Tlie legs are dusky.

Genus TKTCUOGRAiVtMA Westwood. 
1. TRICHOGRAMMA AUSTRALICUM Girault. 
In Java (Pasoeroeu) this species parasitizes the eggs of C'hito infnscatcUus, an unknown 
‘tortricid associated with cane, Graphohta schiataceaua and Diatrea striatalis. In specimens 
of this species reared from CJdlo my attention was called by P. van der Goot to the presence on 
the male and female antenna of the minute bladdev-like ap})endHges resembling conidial spores 
(and thought characteristic of Trichogrammatoidca). In the specimens sent me I observed 
these on the feniah* funicle. Sometimes the female abdomen l;)ears two broad black bands one 
at base, one at tipj it may be wholly blackish to jet black. 
I have a female from moth eggs, Chindera, Tweed River, New South Wales, May 13, 
1914 (A. P. Dodd) and many specimens from a mass of uoetuid eggs on Melaleuca, forest, 
Gordonvale, June 1, 1914. 
This paper taken with J^art I and the first supplement eomjdetes our present knowledge 
of the Australian Trichogrammatidm. Students of the group should consult my rather full 
treatment of the world’s genera now in course of publication in the Bulletin of the Wisconsin 
(B.S.A.) Natural History Society. 
Students of this grouj) must always be thorough and careful since the minute forms 
contained therein have proved bHes voires to many of the most acute Hymenopterologists and 
in studying them we must be certain to forsake our usual confidence and be content to feel the 
way with Caution and Dilfidence as constant companions."
