227 
valves black. A long cuneate piece adjoining the axilla and distinctly caudad of it extending 
along each side of scutellum to the latter’s middle is concolorous with the axilla. Funicle 3

10. OOTETRASTICHUS SUBFASCIATIVENTRIS new species. 
Female: — Length, 1.17 mm. 
Very similar to foaciatneniris but the abdomen bears three cross-strii)es (and an 
obscure fourth at apex) on somewhat over distal third, X->receded by three marginal spots, 
the proximal pair at base; also the general coloration is golden yellow and the black valves 
of the ovipositor are distinctly extruded. Mandibles tridentate. 
From one female captured in foirest, January 14, 1912. 
Habitat: Capeville (Pentland), Queensland. 
Type: No. H.yS567, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the female on a slide. 
11. OOTETRASTICHUS SEPTEMGUTTATUS new species. 
Female: — Length, 1.20 imn. 
Pale lemon yellow, the M'ings hyalme, the body marked with dark metallic green as 
follows: A subcordate marking on cex>haUc third of scutum, a diamond-shaped spot on 
lateral angle of pronotum, axilla) and a large area just latero-caudad of it, propodeum 
except along the meson, three wedgeshaped marginal spots on abdomen (increasing in size 
distad, the third at distal two thirds, their acute apices pointing mesad), a round spot at 
the meson at distal tlivee fourths and opposite to this at the margin a very minute dot. 
Valves of ovipositor black. Funicle 1 distinctly much longer than 2 or 3 which are subequal 
and somewhat shorter than the pedicel. Mandibles tridentate. Stigmal vein long. Propo- 
deum with a median carina and no others excepting a very narrow carina just laterad of the 
spiracle. 
From one female captured by sweeping forest, March 28, 1914.

Type: No. HyS5G8, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the specimen on a slide. 
12. OOTETRASTICHUS PULCHRINOTATUS new species. 
Female: — Length, 1.30 mm. 
Bright golden yellow, tlie wmgs hyaline, the antennge dusky black. Marked with 
dark metallic green as follows: A ]>oltate area mi face just ventrad of insertion of antennge, 
ocellar area, xironotum, jiarapsides, a-xillae, a subcordate area on cejJialic scutum along about 
cephalic third and not reaching laterad to margins, scutellum between first grooves, distal 
two thirds of scutellum between first and second grooves, laud coxa and propodeum; 
abdomen with a spot at center of base, lateral margins from base a short distance, tlien five 
large marginal spots between end of lateral marginal green and apex, these spots in the 
shape of an elbow, ])arallei witli and along the margin a short distance then jiroximad 
turned mesad a short distance, the mesal arm slight on first pair, increasing distad, long 
on fifth pair and ajiproaching eaeli other (as regards the fifth pair), forming an interrupted 
(at meson) cross-stripe. A narrow cross-fitrijte between fifth marginal spot and apex. Valves 
of ovipositor black at tip. Distal two funicle joints nearly e<pial, a little longer than the 
X^edicel, 1 much longer, over twice longer tlian wide. Third tooth of mandible obliquely 
truncate. Propodeum vith a median carina and, apparently, a lateral carina directly from 
spiracle. Distal half of niesopleiirum metallic green.
