joints; funicle joints slightly clavate, almost subequal; 1-5 longer than wide, the sixth quadrate; 
club as long as the two preceding joints combined; first club joint as long as the other two 
combined. 
Described from one female caught by sweeping jungle along a forest stream, June 14, 
1913 (A. P. Dodd). 
Edhitat: Northern Queensland (Gordonvale near Cairns). 
Type: No. Ey^SlS, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, a female on a tag, the head and 
hind legs on a slide. 
2. PTEROSEMIGASTRA NIGRIFLAGELLUM new species of Girault and A. P. Dodd.

ment bright metallic blue-green; femora dusky brown; tibia), tarsi and antennal scape golden 
yellow; pedicel dusky brown; flagellum black. Differing from wnone in having the marginal 
iind postmarginal veins subcqual, each over twice as long as the srigmai; abdomen slightly 
convex above, the second segment not occupying one fourth of the surface, 3 not a half the 
length of 2, 4 nearly twice as long as 3. 5 a little longer than 4 and siibequal to 2, 6 subequal 
to 4; funicle joints all longer than wide, the first the smallest. 
Described from one female caught in jungle, July 31, 1913 (A. P. Dodd). 
Habitat: Gordonvale (Caiims), Queensland. 
Type: No. Ey^Sl-S, Queensland Muserun, Brisbane, the specimen on a tag, the head 
on a slide. 
PAEAPOLYCYSTUS new genus of Girault and A. P. Dodd. 
Female: — Head much wider than the thorax; antenna) inserted on about the middle of 
the face, 13-jointed with three ring-joints, three club joints; third ring-joint much longer than 
the other two and as long as wide. Mandibles tridentate. T*Erapsidal furrows half complete. 
Scutellum carinated posteriorly. Propodeum scaly, with a median cariua and a distinct cross- 
carina; very deep, distinct spiracular sulci, the mesal margin of the sulci delicately carinated. 
Marginal vein two thirds longer than the postmarginal and twice as long as the stigmal. 
Abdomen short, scarcely as long as tliorax; j)etiolc shorter than hind coxae, longer than wide, 
vertical; segment 2 occupying nearly a third of surface, almost twice as long as 3. Differing 
from Folyeysteloides Girault in having tridentate mandibles, a longer marginal vein, distinct 
spiracular sulci, a carinated caudal margin of the scutellum, a shorter abdomen and a longer 
second abdominal segment. The cross-carina on scutellum is at caudal margin as seen from 
direct dorsal aspect and has analogy to the cross-suture frequently found in this place but is 
not one as usually understood. 
1. PARAPOLYCYSTUS PULCHRICORNIS new species. Genotype. 
Female: — Length, 2 mm. Short, stout. Head and thorax very dark metallic green,

Wings hyaline. Antenna) gently clavate. Pedicel a fourth longer than funicle 3, the latter not 
as long as co?nbined length of ring-joints, one third longer than wide, 2 as long as 1, 3-5 shorter, 
wider than long; club nearly as long as three preceding joints united, first joint the largest.
