ME210UIS OF THE QUEENSLAND 2WSEUM. 
narrow black stripe across at distal two thirds of each, that of the hind femur interrupted 
very broadly ceutrally. Funicle 1 somewhat longer than wide, 3 a little louger than wide, 
longer than the pedicel. Sculpture and cdothing as usual. Wings hyaline. Mandibles T-dentate.. 
From one female caught in forest, August 2, 1914 (A. P. Dodd). 
Habitat : Gordonvale, Queensland. 
Type: Ko. Hy2736, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the specimen on a tag. 
22. ELASMUS BIGUTTATUS Girault. 
Raised to speclfie rank from macxdaiipennis. The scutellum is as in splcndidiis and 
the hind coxa is metallic only in middle of dorsal edge thinly, in this species and maculati- 
pennis, there is an occipital yellow spot on vertex as in splendid'iis and the propleurum is 
more or less (somotiines wholly) lemon yelhnv joined to the yellow spot of pronotum. In 
biguttatus, there are two marginal dots out from tlie proximal stripe on abdomen. In a variety 
captured in the type locality. Decombor IS, 1912, there was only tlie first and this very small. 
This variety is uuited with the type of bigidtatvii and is named binotaiiis new variety. It 
differs also from the typical form in having tlie entire dorsal margin of hind coxa broadly 
metallic green and the vertex wholly eoncolorous. 
23. ELASMUS PULEXOIDES new species. 
Female : — Exactly similar to frifasclafiocufris but the mandibles 6-dentate, the cephalic 
femora black along proximal half and the abdomen has tlirec stripes between the proximal 
and distal metallic portions, the third stripe not as broad as the corresponding one in the 
other species yet broader than the other two. The first and second stripes are farther from 
each other than the second and third are fronr each other; the third is concaved at meson 
of its proximal nuu’gin. The metallic distal part is louger here and very faintly divided 
by orange at its proximal fourth forming an indistinct fourth stripe. Funicle joints a little 
longer than the jjodicel, each somewhat longer than wide. Wings hyaline in both species- 
or practically so.

and insert proximal half of bind. 
25. ELASMUS ACUMINATUS new species. 
Female: — ^Length, 2.60 mm. Abdomen pointed conical, two thirds longer than the thorax 
Very dark metallic green, the alMomcn black, metallic blue at base. Legs and scape 
white; proximal (dorsal) fourth of hind coxa, dorsal edge of hind femur and ventral edge 
of same at distal tlnrd, black. Al)(lomon i-eddish yel!o\v' along meson of venter for proximal 
two thirds. Distal edge of mesojiostscutellum lemon yellow. Fore wings indefinitely, lightly 
infnscateil along ajiox of veiuitiou. iMandildes 6-dentate. Otherwise as in lividus (in Uv-idiis, 
The cephalic cox?o are white except at base). Funicle joints long and subequal, about twice 
longer than wide or nearly, each longer than the pedicel. Club joints each a little shorter 
in succession, the first somewhat shorter than any funicle joint.
