l)eing erroneous; and scarcely more than half as long as 1, the club no longer than funicle 
1, the first two club joints being wider than long). Propodeum with a weak curved Carina 
mesad of the spiracle. Compared with type of longfellowi. 
Habitat: Queensland. 
Type: No. Hy^594, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the female on a tag; head on a 
•slide. 
8. EPITETRASTICHUS FLAVISCAPUS new species of A. P. Dodd. 
Female: — Length, 1.65 mm. 
Dark metallic green, the cox® and femora concolorous, the tibi®, tarsi and antennal 
•scape, golden yellow, rest of antenn® black. Wings hyaline. Scutum and scutellum naked. 
Propodeum rather long, coarsely scaly, with distinct median and lateral carin®. Abdomen 
■coniC'Ovate, no longer than the thorax. Pedicel somewhat shorter than the first funicle joint; 
funicle joints subequal, cylindrical ovate, half longer than wide. Club as large as two pre- 
ceding joints united, wdtU a short terminal ni];)ple; last three ring-joints very small. 
Prom one female captured in jungle, January 15, 1914 (A. P. Dodd). 
Habitat: Gordonvale (Cairns), Queensland.

•on a slide. 
9. EPITETRASTICHUS HET.SRICOS new species. 
Female: — Length, 1.80 mm. 
Very similar to speciosissimvs but differing in that the large conical marking of the 
scutum is regular (not rather surldenly narroued at a little over distal half of scutum) and 
extends nearly to apex of scutellum. the pronotum is black excej>t laterad and the caudal margin 
very narrowly (only face of pronotum is black in the other sjiecies, not as originally described), 
the hind femur centrally is dark brown, the occiput is all black except ventral border, the 
scrobes are black and the hind cox® exteriorly, the third marginal spot on the abdomen is 
smaller (the first spots joined across meson in both species and situate at base), also each. of the 
following spots; and the metapleurum and caudal meso])leuriiTn are black (not so in the other 
species, contraiw to former statements). Autenn® dusky black except proximal t^Yo thirds of 
scape. The iiropodeum is a little visible at meson from above, bears a very short complete 
median carinn but no true lateral ones. The cephalic, snlKjuadrate black area on each axilla is 
decidedly longer in this species extending nearly to apex from cephalic margin, longer than wdde 
(in the genotype neaidy square and extending slightly caudad of middle). Striate 6 of abdomen 
(just before apex) is merely broadly joined to 5 along the meson. A row of faint punctures 
along lateral margin of scutum in both sjieeies. Puniclo 3 a little longer than wide. Afandibles 
tridentate, the teeth obtuse. 
Prom one female caught in forest, August 13, 1914. 
Hahilal: Gordonvale (Cairns), Queensland. 
Type: No. HyB696, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the specimen on a tag with type of 
spcciosl'ishmisy the head on a slide. The female type of the genotype is on a tag, the head on a 
slide. 
10. EPITETRASTICHUS X-CARINATUS new species. 
Female: — Lengtli, 1.50 mm. 
Orange yellow, the distal third of scutum (or the part not black), scutellum between the 
lateral grooves, legs and scape pale lemon yellow; a rounded orange yellow area in center of 
scutellum. The following parts black: Head, prothorax, cephalic two thirds of scutum, pro- 
podeum except broadly along the meson and lateral margins of abdomen rather broadly from 
base to distal three fourths; also tip of abdomen and apex of each parapside. Postscutellum
