two thirds. Pronotum large, transverse-quadrate, the scutum shorter than the seutellum; 
parapsidal furrow's complete. Postmarginal vein slightly longer than the stigmal, both slender 
but of moderate length, the marginal distinctly longer than either. Thorax very sparsely 
pubescent. No ring-joint. 
Described from one female caught in forest, December 20, 1913 (A. P. Dodd).

veins long and slender, the former a little the longer, the marginal a little shorter than the

1. PAREUNOTUS FLAVICORPUS new species. 
Female: — Length, about 0.98 mm. 
Pale honey yellow and finely scaly. A stripe across cephalic margin of propodeum, the 
-indicated cross-suture of seutellum and cephalo-lateral ends of the axilla dark purplish black, 
"Wings hyaline. First three funicle joints like ring- joints but each enlarging, 3 not a third 
dhe length of 4 which with 5 and G are distinctly wider than long and siibequal, subtransverse ; 
funicle 7 is longer than 6, still much wider than long. Club short. 
Described from one female captured in forest, December 26, 1912. 
Habitat: Capeville (Pcntlaud), Queensland. 
Type: No. Hy2782, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the specimen on a slide. 
What I thought -was the abdomen of this specimen, which had become separated, bore 
■six distinct purplish black cross-stripes, the first at base and all intersected by a median 
longitudinal stripe. Valves of ovipositor are black. Abdomen conic-ovate, none of the segments 
greatly lengthened. 
MUSetDEA new genus. 
Female: — In Ashmead^s table runs to this genus w'hich was formerly without status, the 
.■genotype being undescribed. I ado2)t the name for the following species. Head wider than 
long, the antennse 9-jointed with one very short ring- joint, the club solid and as long as the 
funicle and much wider. Mandibles small, acute. Hind tibial spur normal for the family.
