Pedicel slender; funicle 1 little longer than pedicel, fully three times as long as wide; 2 
-one half the length of 1, 3 slightly shorter than 2; club somewhat shorter than funicle 1; 
ring-joints small about subequal. Notes from the following specimens: 
A female captured from a window at Mirani (Mackay), October, 1911. The abdomen 
in this last specunen was sulfused with brown; median groove of scutum complete, very 
narrow; club pale. Compared with type. A female at Ayr, Queensland, forest, November 
■6, 1912. One female, Cooktown, window, February, 1912. 
5. EPITETRASTICHUS VARICOLOR new species of A. P. Dodd. 
Female: — Length, 1.75 mm. 
Golden yellow; occiput, parapsidal furrows, grooves of scutellum and propodeum dark 
brownish; abdomen nearly wholly dusky dorsad; legs and antennal scape pale yellow, rest 
of antennae black. Body slender, the abdomen slender, pointed conic-ovate. Median groove 
•of scutum faint but complete. Propodeiun rather short, scaly, with a pair of median carinae. 
Wings hyaline. Flagellum very long and slender, funicle 1 somewhat longest of the funicle, 
twice as long as pedicel, club somewhat longer than any of the funicle joints, the second 
joint a little longer than the first, the third small. 
From one female caught by sweeping in forest, June 13, 1912 (A.A.G.). 
HaVitat: Gordonvale (Cairns), Queensland. 
Type: No. HyS85S, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the female on a tag; head on a 
•slide. 
This species is very similar to A prostocerella Icelloggi Girault but has only a little 
blackish on cephalic scutum at cephalic margin centrally, the propodeum is wholly black 
(yellow laterad of spiracle in kelloggi) and somewhat longer at the meson and the pronotum 
is broadly black across the. meson nearly to the lateral anargins. Only the face of pronotum 
is black in kdloggi and in this last species the cephalic half of scutum is blackish except along 
juediaii line at lateral margins. Types compared. (A. A, Girault.) 
6. EPITETRASTICHUS BICOLOR (Girault). 
Teirasticlms hicolor Girault in antea. 
Female: — Length, 1.G5 anm. 
Black; loAver part of face, an area at insertion of wings, postscutellum, basal third 
or more of at)doinen, legs (except base of hind coxa?) and antennal scape golden yellow; pedicel 
dusky, flagellum fuscous; rest of abdomen brownish with darker cross-stripes. Propodeum 
with a median carina. Median groove of scutum not very distinct. Abdomen conic-ovate, 
somewhat wider and longer than thorax. Funicle joints cylindrical ovate, 1 as long as pedicel 
and distinctly longer than wide, 3 a little shorter than 1, the first club joint as long as the 
other two combint*d. Fore wings broad, hyaline. 
From one female captured by sweeping in strip of jungle, April 16, 1913 (A. P. Dodd), 
type locality. 
7. EPITETRASTICHUS LONGICLAVUS new species of A. P. Dodd. 
Female: — Length, 1.60 mm. 
Agreeing with longfellowi Girault but dilfering as follows: All legs and antennal 
scape and pedicel intense lemon yellow; abdomen almost wholly dark brovm, slightly suffused 
with metallic, funicle 3 only slightly shorter than 1 and a little longer than the pedicel, club 
much longer than funicle 1, the first two club joints distinctly longer than wide (in longfellowi^ 
fhe second funicle joint is subequal to the pedicel, 3 distinctly shorter, the original deseriiition
