MEMOISS OF TEE QUEENSLAND MUSEUM. 
A female, forest, type locality. May 27, 191i and another by sweeping forest on sand- 
ridges near coast, Chindera, New South Wales, May 8, 1914 (A. P. Dodd). The scape is 
white along proximal two tliirds; mandibles 6-dentate. Coxm metallic on proximal half, long; 
the general color may be mneons green. The median carina of propodeum extends not quite 
half way to apex from base. 
A. ASYMPIESIELIiA NELSONENSIS GRACILIS new variety. 
Female: — Length, 3 mm. 
Exactly similar to the typical form, but very much smaller and dark metallic green; 
the distal funicle joint is shorter, being only slightly longer than wide, while the proximal 
club joint is barely longer than the distal (in the typical forms somewhat longer). The 
mandibles 6-dentate in both forms, the two outer teeth largest, subequal. In both the coxae 
are concolorous at base, the thorax reticulate-punctate, the propodeum showing reticulation 
delicately, the postscutellum more distinctly. Antennje with two ring-joints, the first short; 
first three funicle joints distinctly compressed. Compared with tyi.)es of typical form. 
Prom one female captured by sweeping among bushes, October 10, 1914 (G. F. Hill). 
Habitat: Port Darwin, Northern Territory. 
Type: No. Ey^yiS, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the female on a tag. 
2. ASYMPIESIELLA LONGIVENTRIS new species. 
Fseiidopheliminus and FseiidopJielimus longiventris, nomina nuda, in antea, pp. 286-287, 291. 
Differs from nelsonensis in being more slender, the mandibles 7-dentate, the scape wholly 
white. Length, 3 mm. The type was taken April 13. Compared with type of nelsonensis. 
3. ASYMPIESIELLA SUPERBUS new species. 
Female: — Length, 2.70 mm. 
A>rtex of head thin. Antennae inserted below middle of face, lO-jointed, two ring-joints, 
four funicle joints, two club joints. Marginal vein long, as long as submarginal, stigmal 
vein moderately long, postmarginal two and a half times the length of stigmal, scarcely half 
the length of the marginal. Scutum longer than pronotum, as long as wide; axillse advanced; 
scutellum simple. Propodeum rugulose, without earinaj. Abdomen sessile, conic-ovate, no 
longer than head and thorax united, first segment longest, equal to nearly a third of surface. 
The abdomen is shorter than in the genotype. Bright metallic green, the thorax coppery; 
legs (except apical jomt of tarsi) and basal half of antennal scape very pale straw yellow; 
rest of antenna) black. Wings hyaline. Scutum and scutellum wdth dense, scaly reticulation, 
the reticulation in rnised linos. Pedicel short, scarcely longer than wide, funicle 1 fully three 
times as long as pedicel, second and third funicle joints subequal, each a fourth shorter 
than 1, 4 somewhat shorter than 3, club a little longer than preceding joint. 
From two females caught by sweeping forest, August 5, 1913 (A. P. Dodd). 
Habitat: Clordonvale (Cairns), Queensland. 
Type: No. HyS714, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, a female on a tag; head and a 
hind leg on a slide.
