edge (nearly divided) and is close to the basal stripe. Also, tlie scape is broader, the pedicel 
subelongate, somewhat longer than funiele 2. Otherwise identical. Types compared. 
From one female caught in jungle, June 25, 1914. 
Habitat : Gordonvale, Queensland. 
Type: No. Hy^Sdl, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the specimen on a tag with type 
of persimiliSj head on a slide with types of persimilis and sol. 
4. ZAOMMOMYIELLA PERSIMILIS new species. 
Female: — ^Length, 1.80 mm. 
Very similar to oculata but stouter, the axillje are metallic blue, there are four dusky 
stripes on abdomen distad of the broad basal stripe, the scutellum is more distinctly punctate 
rather than scaly and its sculpture is denser; the first tooth of mandibles is distinctly larger 
than the inner two, which are paired and equal (in oculata the first two teeth are subequal, the 
third a little stouter, none paired) and the pedicel is subelongate, somewhat longer than 
funiele 2, which is next longest of the flagellum. The scape is yellow in both species. Club 
1 longest of the three. Compared with type of oculata. 
From one female caught in jungle. May 2, 1914 (A. P. Dodd). 
Habitat: Tweed Heads (Tw'eed River), New- South Wales. 
Type: No. Hy 254$, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the specimen on a tag; head on a 
slide. 
5. ZAOMMOMYIELLA SOL new species. 
Female: — Length, 1.30 mm. 
Wiolly grass green, the abdomen coppery except across base, tho face rosaceous brassy. 
Legs white except the dark metallic coxae and the black dorsal edges of all femora. Antennge 
as in persimilis. Pore wdng with a distinct fuscous cross*stTipe from the small stigmal vein 
and distal fourtli of thd long marginal, the stripe rather broad, slightly curved and at cephalic 
half accented so as to form a square area more distinct than the caudal part, which is rather 
faint. Oral area orange yellow. Mandibles as in persimilis. Parapsldal furrows complete, 
rather broad, shallow, narrowing cephalad. Thorax coarsely densely punctate, the punctures 
flattened out on the scutelhiin. Propodeum glabrous, noncarinate. Segment 2 of abdomen 
glabrous, 3 mostly so, the rest scaly. Differs from ahnormis in being wholly metallic (except 
the oral area narrowly), tlie femora black above, in having a distinctly shorter abdomen, 
smaller infuscated area on the fore wing, and this area forming a more or less distinct 
stripe and the punctures of tlie scutellum flattened or very shallow. The propodeum has 
several sunken cavities laterad and on each side of meson (but broadly separated) a narrow 
rather obscure carina from caudad, abbreviated cephalad. 
Described from one female taken by sw’eeping jungle. May 2, 1914 (A. P. Dodd). 
Habitat: Tweed Heads (Tweed River), New South AVales. 
Type: No. Hy254S, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the specimen on a tag; head on 
a slide with type head of Zaoinmomyiella persimilis. 
PARZAOMMOjMYIA new genus. 
Female: — Like Zaommomyiella Girault but the antennm bear three ring- joints and the 
scutum gnd scutellum with a complete median sulcus. The abdomen is subelongate, slender, 
distinctly longer than the rest of the body. Marginal vein very long, over twice the length 
of the submarginal, the postmarginal nearly thrice the length of the rather short stigmal. 
Occiput very concave, the face subconvex. Axillse only advanced a very little, the parapsidal 
furrows complete. Mandibles tridentate, the third tooth truncate. Cheeks very short but 
distinct. Pronotum not visible from above.
