8. NEOTETRASTICHODES ELECTRA new species. 
Female: — Lengthy 2 r/im. 
Black, the wings hyaline; ventral half of head, tegulse, scape except dorsad at tip, 
jiostseutelluni and al)doinen golden yellow, the legs a little embrowned. Caudal coxa black. 
Stig-mal vein rather short. Abdomen dorsad black across base narrowly, the black acutely 
produced eaudad at meson; the tip black and between tip and base there are five complete 
(.ross-stripcs, the first three connected along meson by a rather broad longitudinal stripe. 
Dorsum of abdomen scaly. A yellow spot at occipital margin of vertex against the eye, 
laterad of lateral ocellus. Thorax rather coarsely scaly, a line of setigerous punctures along 
lateral margin of scutum, the latter otherwise naked. A short sulcus at mesal base of 
scutellum, the second lateral sulcus foveate, the surface like that of the scutum. Propodeum 
scaly, moderate at the meson, without lateral carinas but ^vith a median one and a short 
Carina directly from the spiracle. The short tliird club joint with a short, distinct spur. 
Punicle 1 somewhat longer than wide, the others each shortening, 3 oval, a little shorter 
than the pedicel. Wings broad. 
Prom one female caught October 11, 1914 (H. Hacker), 
Habitat : Brisbane, Queensland. 
Type: No. EyS590, Queensland Hiiseum, Brisbane, the specimen on a tag; antenna on 
a slide. 
Genus ISTEOMPHALOIDES Giranlt. 
This genus is the same as Ooictrasticitella but the scutum bears a median groove and 
the club is 3-joinled. 
1. NEOMPHALOIDES STYLATUS new species. 
Female: — Length, 2.20 mm. Abdomen conic-ovate, distad produced into a short 
■stylus, tlie ovipositor extruded a short distance beyond the stylus. Abdomen distinctly much 
longer than the thbrax. 
Black, shining, the wings hyaline, the scape, knees, tibise and tarsi yellowish brown, 
nlso tlie venation. Antenna) long; funicles 1 and 2 siibequal, each about two and a third 
tjmes longer than wide and distinctly shorter than the long club, 3 a little shorter than 2, 
distinctly longer tJian the pedicel. Eirst two club joints plainly longer than wide, the third 
■somewhat shorter, with a distinct tei'ininal nipple. Club ns long as the scape. Mandibles 
tridentate, the two inner teeth together. 8tignial vein of moderate length. Second two 
ring-joints very short. Thoracic sulci very distinct. Scutum with a row of setpe along lateral 
margin, otherwise naked. Propodeum finely nrinkled, tricarinate, rather long, the lateral 
Carina forking at aj-iex; an oblique ridge or carina running meso-ceplialad from origin of 
the fork of the lateral carina, but not quite complete at either end. Lateral margin of 
})ropodeum earinated. Scutellnm with a tinge of metallic green. Abdomen subpetiolate. 
Differs from the genotype in that the stylus of the abdomen is not half as long as in 
that species. The latter is shorter at propodeal meson and has no lateral carina and nearly half 
the body of its abdomen is red, the })ody shiny, the sculpture rather faint. Its other colors 
nre also much different. 
From one female caught in jungle, August 20, 1914. 
Habitat: Gordonvale (Cairns), Queensland. 
Type: No. Hy 2591, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the specimen on a tag; head on a
