2. TETRASTICHOMORPHA iENEICORPUS new species of Girault and A. P. Dodd. 
Female: — Length, 1.65 mm. 
Dark aeneous green, the wings hyaline, the legs white except hind coxse, the scape white 
except at tip; rest of antenneo black. A small triangle of lemon yellow just in front of 
cephalic ocellus. Propodeum with a distinct median carina and no others, the sculpture roughly 
polygonally scaly. Abdomen metallic blue. Median sulcus of scutum incomplete cephalad. 
Abdomen sculptured like the thorax, conic-ovate, a little longer than the rest of the body. 
Second ring-joint short, the pedicel long, a little shorter than the distal club joint which is 
about oue and three fourths times longer than broad; first huiicle joint subequal to the club, a 
fourth longer than the second, which is a little over twice longer than \vide. Mandibles 
tridentate, but the third tooth emarginate and oblique at apex. Marginal vein longer than 
the submarginal, long, the stigmal short, wdth a short neck. 
Described from one female caught by sweeping in the bed of a forest streamlet, 
December 4, 1913 (A, A. Girault). 
Ilaltitat: Northern Queensland (Gordonvale, near Cairns). 
Type: No. lly 3481, a female on a tag, the head on a slide. 
Genus SELITKICHODELLA Girault. 
1. SELITRICHODEIiLA MIRA Girault. 
The species measures about 1.15 mm. and is associated with a gall on the midrib of 
leaves of cockatoo apple. Posterior w’ings acutely pointed. The type specimens were reared 
December 15, 1912 and arc together on a slide. 
A female at Cairns, Queensland, by sweeping in forest, October 25, 1911. The proximal 
funicle joint is somewhat shorter than each of the other two. The scape is distinctly 
compressed, more so than with meteora, described next. It is more robust than meteora. 
2. SELITRICHODELLA METEORA new species. 
Female: — Length, 0.63 mm. 
Like mira but distad the abdomen bears one com])lete cross-stripe of purple between 
.the ends of the cut-olf marginal stripe, a spot of purple dorsad centrally at tip and the 
indications from each side of a second cross-stripe a little proximad of the first. Both 
mandibles bidentate, the inner tooth broadly truncate, the mandibles w^eak. The two distal 
funicle joints subequal, each a little longer than the first, a little shorter than the pedicel. 
Cox£e concolorous. 
Described from a single female captured from a window, September, 1913 (A. P. Dodd). 
Ilahitat : Gordonvale (Cairns), Queensland. 
Type: No. IIy$577, Que^ensland Museum, Brisbane, the specimen on a tag, the head on 
a slide. 
3. SELITRICHODELLA PURPUREITHORAX new^ species. 
Female: — Length, LIO mm. 
Like meteora Girault but the abdomen more slender, longer than the rest of the body, 
its tip distinctly rather broadly purple and the stripes on the abdomen are reversed and 
more pronounced — thus at the termination of the marginal stripe on each side not far from 
the purple of tip there is an indication from each side of a cross-stripe and a complete, 
distinct cross-stripe farther proximad (farther proximad than the indicated cross-stripe in 
meteora and farther from, ends of the marginal stripes), at about somewhat more than distal
