AVSTRALIAN EYME^sWFTEJiA CHALCIDOIEEA, II.—GIEAVLT. 
Tribe ANAPHINI. 
Genus PARAKAPIIOIDEA Giraiilt.

The thorax bears a phragma. 
1. PARANAPHOIDEA CAUDATA now species. 
Female: — Length, 1 nnn. 
Very similar to c:()re()ia Giraiilt but the conspicuous black line along each side of tbe 
postscutellum absent, this sclorite wholly yolloAv ; the so-called V-shaped yellow marking on 
the scutum (in reality, two acute, long, black wedges from cephalad on a yellow ground and 
extending about to caudal margin) is absent since the black areas from cephalic margin on 
each side are rectangular, someAvhat longer than Avide but extending only half AA’ay to the 
caudal margin leaving the meson and lateral margins of cephalic half of scutum narroAidy 
yellow. The legs are AA’holly yellow and the antenna? except the ciub. Funicle 1 is somewhat 
larger. Otherwise identical. 
Male : — Unknown. 
Described from female taken from a AA'indoAv, February 3, 1912. 
Tlahifal: CooktoAvn. Queensland. 
Type: Xo. TfySioB, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the specimen on a slide A\’ith the 
type of egregia. 
2. PARANAPHOIDEA INTERMEDIA neiv species. 
Female: — Length, 1.10 mm. 
Exactly similar to egregia but distinctly larger and characterised by having finer discal 
cilation on the fore Aving (about 32 lines) and the head is all yelloAv, together with the legs. 
The funicle .I'oinls are all someAvhat longer, the cephalic tibia? bear strigils. Tn both species, 
there is a triangular black spot laterad on postscutellum. In all four species of the genus, the 
axillae are margined wfith yelloAv caudad and laterad. 
Male : — ^Xot known. 
Prom one female captured on April 0, 1914-, by sweeping grass in forest. 
Ifahifot: GordoiiAmle (Cairns), Queensland. 
Type: Xo. If.y2460, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the specimen on a slide. 
A male of a species of this genus collected by Mr. A. P. Dodd at Cloncurry, Queensland, 
April, 1914, resembled closely the genotype. The male antenmu are as in Stethynium. The 
color pattern of the thorax ap])ears to be a generic characteristic. 
Genus POLYXEIMOIDEA Girault. 
This genus differs fundamentally from Sleiliyniam Enock in lacking the thoracic phragma. 
Genus STETHYXIT.Al Enock. 
1. STETHYNIUM CINCTIVENTRIS Girault. 
Female: — Length, 0.80 mm. 
With the habitus of Anaplies, Black, tbe abdomen with a broad band of silvery white 
around its base AA*hich occupies nearly a third of the surface; legs AA-hite or nearly, the antenna? 
black, the first three funicle joints cylindrical, the second longest, 1 and 3 more or less equal, 
a third shorter than 2; G subglobular, a third shorter than 5 Avhile 4 is a fourth shorter than 5; 
proximal club joint nearly half of the club. Fore wings rather narroAv and graceful, with about 
fourteen lines of discal cilia across the widest part of the blade, the longest marginal cilia 
about half the greatest width. IJind wings rather narrow' and cuiwed, Avith five lines of fine 
discal cilia toward tip, the third and fourth lines soon disap])eariug. Scutum more or less 
pallid especially at caudal half, the parapsides and scutellimi Avhite. Strigil j)resent. Scutelluni
