GExrs ELASiMUS ’Westwood. 
All the Australian species in this genus seen by me bear two ring-joints and a 3-jointed 
club, the antennse lO-jointed. 
1. ELASMUS HISPIDISCUTUM now species. Eemale. 
Similar to l:urandaet>sis except that the conical prolongation of the green of the scutum 
does not reach the sciitelluni. IM'andibles 5-dentate in both species. Prom caudal aspect, the 
yellow of the vertex invades the metallic upper half of the occiput, ajpiearing like a spot on 
each side. The fore wings are infuscated in both species but no distinct pattern is formed; 
however, the infuseation is longitudinal and under distal half or more of the marginal vein 
in Icxirandaevsis (and broader), in this species along distal third or less of the same vein. 
In this species the lateral extremity of the green, of scutum is obtuse or fiat, in hnrandaensis 
aente or subacute. Pronotiim metallic at co])]iaTic margin in both species. 'Phigelluin brown 
black; fimicle 1 longest, somewhat over twice longer than wide, twice the length of the 
pedicel; joints 2 and 3 subef|iia], somewhat shorter than ]; club ^ much the longest, slightly 
shorter than fimicle 3. >Scutuni hispid. 
Uahitat: Gordonvale (Cairns), Porest. July. 
Type: No. TIy27S0, Queensland Museum, Brisbane. Tag and slide. 
2. ELASMUS PUNCTATICAPUT new species. Female. 
Length, 2.50 mm. Dark itmeons green, the head tinged with purplish, the postscutellum 
lemon yellow, the legs pale ex(‘ept last two pairs of coxai and middle of intermediate and 
caudal femora broadly which ai’e dark metallic. Abdomen orange yellow, with a rather 
broad metallic green strijx' across base, the distal fifth darker metallic (dorsad) and this 
portion immediately ])roceded by two transverse metallic stripes whicli are preceded by two 
marginal spots (a total of four spots), the stripes and spots nearly filling the orange 
portion of the alxlomon. Fore wings distinctly infnseated but no jiattern or distinct stripes, 
the infumatiou longitiulinally under the distal half of the venation. Scutellum finely scaly, 
naked or only wlih several large setai, the scutum the same but densely hairy. Head with 
rather dense thimlilo punctures above (vertex and dorsal face). Antenna) brown, the second 
ring-joint large; fuuiele joints all much longer than wide. 1 slightly the longest, twice longer 
than wide, distinctly longer than the pedicel. Mandibles 8-dentate. A yellow marking 
cephalad of the tegula as in divUms. 
Habitat: Gordonvale (Cairns), Queensland. Jungle along forest streamlet. June. 
Type: No. lJyB721, Queensland Museum, Brisbane. Tag and slide.
