1. HETREULOPHUS BIFASCIATIFRONS new species. Genotype. 
Female: — Length, 1.30 min. Ovipositor about a sixth the length of the abdomen, its 
proximal two thirds white, rest black. 
Orange yellow, the abdomen pale whitish yellow, dorsad washed with purple except 
proximad; pronotirm washed with purple. Face with two interrupted metallic purple lines 
across a little above the antennso, the lines separated for some distance and parallel; dorsal 
head lightly purplish, lemon yellow ventrad. Propodeum and axillae washed with purplish, 
also more lightly, cephalic scutum. Legs orange yellowish, the cephalic and intermediate 
tibiae purple, the hind coxa also but white toward and at tip. Hind knees white, the hind 
tibias purj)le dorsad. Antennso yellowish bro'v^m, the last three joints jet black; scape long 
and slender; i»edieel longer than any of the funicle joints; ring-joint a little wider than 
long; first three funicle joints distinctly narrower than the distal three, 1 longest, about twice 
longer than its •\^■idth bnt really not nundi longer than 7 which is a little longer than wide 
and subequal to the three joints proximad of it (taken sepai’ately) . Club without a terminal 
nipple; not quite as long as the united lengths of the three preceding joints. Hind tibial 
spur normal, small, the hind femur comi)ressed. Scutum rather coarsely scaly; rest of thorax 
more finely so, the scutellum densely,, finely lineolated, bearing four large isolated, black seta?. 
Pore wiiigs with marginal cilia and a small clump of short, stiff black setee upon the apex of 
the submargimil vein, embrowned from a crescentic cross-stripe of deeper color a little 
proximad of the clump, the infuscation broken — across extreme apex by hyalininess; against 
the submarginal vein by a round hyaline spot adjoining wdiich proximad is a somewhat 
smaller fuscous spot (a similar spot opposite at caudal margin) and by a longer than wide 
hyaline area iinder the marginal vein. Discal cilia present on the hyaline areas as on the 
infuscated region. Legs simple. 
From one female taken in jungle, February 10, 1914 (A. P. Dodd). 
Habitat: Babiiida, Queensland. 
Type: No. IIy^719, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the specimen on a tag; head and 
hind legs on a slide. 
In the table of subfamilies, antea, pp. 294-295, omit the Aphelinini; line 9, insert 
usually before 4- jointed. In the Elachertinse, the axilla are frequently not advanced; p. 295, 
line 4, omit the word incomplete] line 8, omit the first two words; line 9, omit words 2-8; lines 
10 and 12, five should read 7ione] line 12, omit all words in parentheses following the semi- 
colon; line 16 omit the interrogation point. 
All the members of this family as soon as obtained should be killed by immersion in 
alcohol and preserved in that medium until the specimens are ready for study. The head 
should be mounted separately in balsam after being removed and divided into two by pressing 
a needle or ordinary insect-pin along the face between the antennal bulbs. In this way, 
assurance of seeing the ring-joints, which must be pressed out, is made. Shrivelling is to be- 
avoided. Accuracy is an essential in descriptions.
