14. GYROLASELLA TAU new species. 
Female: — Length, 2.15 mm. 
Very similar to festiva, the scutum bearing a green marking like the Greek letter Tau 
of the lower case or TJpsilon of the capital case. Differing however^ as follows: The parapsidal 
furrows are metallic green but not the inner margin of tlie ])arapsidt's; the greeti median line 
of scutellum is swollen distnd like an inverted exclamation jioint. The x>ropodonm is green 
only on each side of the jirojecting jioslseutelhmi ; there is a green dot in center of each 
parapside and another (larger) spot on each axilla, inesad; also a spot filling the center of 
the postscutellum. The abdominal strij)OS differ in that there are six, the first really consisting 
of a semicircular loo]) on each side at base, the aju'x or top of the loot) a little caudad of 
mesad, the caudal end at lateral margin and accented like a. round spot; strix^es 2-6 connected 
along meson by a narrow lino, 2 and o abl>reviatod laterad, 5 fainter bul complete, some 
distance from 6 whicli is near apex and represented l)y a dot on each si<le at margin. Ocelli 
in green spots; just latero-caudad of lateral ocellus a green dash and a crescentic mark ventrad 
of each; also a narrow green line connecting antennal insertions from thence dorsad to ventral 
end of each eye. Scape bent^ath, basal third of x’tnlicel and a curved, long sx»ot above on 
scaj)e also green. Otherwise similar but the mandibles 5-dentate. 
From two females on a card labelled Mordialloc. Emerged 11-10. F. Spry, Viet.” 
Holniaf : ^Mordialloc, Victoria. 
Types: In the National IMuseum, Melbourne, the above specimens on a tag, the heads 
on a slide. 
15. GYROLASELLA BRACTEATA new species. 
Female: — Length, 0.75 mm. 
Yellowish green, the wings hyaline, the shortly extruded valves of the ovipositor black. 
Marked with dark metallic green .as follows: A transverse line across meson of pronotum, a 
dot at each caiido-lateral angle of pronotum, a short, elliptical marking along meson of scutum 
at about distal three fourths, a narrow wedgoshnped marking along mesal margin of each 
parax)side a little caudad of middle (extending well toward caudal edge but not reaching it). 
A little over cex^halic half of median line of scutellum rntlier broadly, dorsal prox^odenm except 
lateral margin and cejihalo-latorad, a small triangular (apex mesad) spot over propodeal 
sx^iracle, two*” wider than long spots on meson of abdomeTi a little distad of middle of proximal 
half and two marginal dots resembling sjuracles nearly opposite the central transverse 
spots but a little caudad of each one respectively. Fimicle joints narrower than the club, 
subecpial, somewhat wider than long. "Mandibles with about four teeth. Pedicel above metallic 
at base. 
From one female caught in forest, April 10, 1914. 
Halntol: Gordonvale (Cairns), Queensland. 
Type: No. HyS668, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the specimen on a slide. 
16. GYROLASELLA MULTIPUNCTUM new species. 
Female: — ^Length, 2 mm. Slender, rather large. 
Greenish yellow, the wings hyaline; marked with dark metallic green as follows: Three 
minute marks in a triangle just ventrad of ocelli; two very narrow lines across face, one above 
antenna?, the other through their insertions; dorsal edge of scape and a spot on each side; 
proximal third or more of pedicel ; somewhat less than distal half of median line of scutum 
very narrowly; an oval sx»ot in center of parajiside, an elongate spot along center of axilla; 
A faint third one distad of second.
