1. PARAPTEROSEMOIDEA SPURCIPENNIS new species. 
Female: — Length; 1.35 mm. 
Dark metallic green, the legs and scape yellow-brown, the abdomen reddish brown, dark 
coppery rather broadly at apex and with a not broad metallic stripe across base (also 
appearance of a narrow dusky stripe across distal edge of segments 2 and 3). Flagellum black; 
iirst two ring-joints yellowish; funicle 1 somewhat longer than wide, longest, a little shorter 
than the pedicel; funicle 5 wider than long, suljequal to 2, 3 and 4. Joint 1 of caudal tarsus 
much longer than any of the others. Fore wing lightly embrowned throughout and with a 
distinct darker, rather broad cross-stripe from proximal two thirds of the marginal vein ahd 
a dark, longer than wddo, rectangular area from apex of stigma! vein; the two are obscurely 
connected by a short midlongitudinal arm. There are also two subhyaline cross-stripes, the 
first just proximad of the cross-stripe, the second just distad of it, between the cross-stripe 
and the substigmal area. Under the subinarginal vein a darker longitudinal streak eaudad. Fore 
wdng with broad hairless line but this is closed cephalad by about six lines of discal cilia. Head 
and thorax with usual sculpture, finely punctate. Segments 2 and 3 of abdomen eaudad at 
meson with very slight traces of incisions, the abdomen polished except at apex. 
From one female caught on forest uplands, May 30, 1914 (A. F. Dodd). 
Hahitat: Maclean (Clarence Eiver), New South Wales. 
Type: No. Sy S81S, Queeuslaud Museum, Brisbane, the specimen on a tag; head, hind 
legs and a fore wing on a slide. 
PAEATRTGONOGASTEA new genus. 
Female: — Agreeing with the description of Faracroclisis Girault and running to that 
genus in my table of genera but differing at once in having segment 4 greatly lengthened, 
enclosing all but tw'o of the rest of the segments and occupying somew’hat over half of the 
surface (in the other genus four segments are distinct distad of 4). Also, the parapsidal 
^ furrows are only a third complete from cephalad, segment 3 of abdomeu is a little longer than 
2 and is straight eaudad at meson, the petiole is about twice the length of the hind coxaa, the 
propodeum is uouearinate but with distinct sj^iracular sulci and the postmarginal vein is not 
quite twice the length of the stigmal, barely shorter than the marginal. Otherwise the same. 
1. PARATRIGONOGASTRA VOLTAIREI new species. 
Female: — Length, 1.40 mm. 
Dark eeneous green, the wings hyaline; scape pale; coxa^ concolorous, rest of legs reddish 
brown. Pedicel a little pale, subocjnul to funicle 1 w*bich is longest, somewhat longer than 
wide; funicle 6 somewhat under than long, 5 subquadrate; club wider, the articulations not 
very distinct. Thorax reticulately punctate, including the propodeum. Hind eoxse and petiole 
finely scaly. Abdomen glabrous. Propodeum with a more or less distinct fovea at cephalic 
margin about half way to spiracle from the meson. Abdomen conic-ovate. Mandibles 4-dentate. 
Described from one female captured by miscellaneous sw^eeping, March 29, 1914 (A. P. 
Dodd). 
Kahitat: Halifax (Ingham), Queensland. 
Type: No. Hy 2819, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the specimen on a tag. 
Subfamily DIPAEINHil. 
Genus PANSTENON Walker. 
The Australian species have the parapsidal furrows not quite complete, two large ring- 
joints and a large pronotum. Types of hellicosus, gracilis and australiensis re-examined. 
1. PANSTENON CLARUS new species. 
Female: — ^Length, 2.60 mm. 
Somewhat like hcUicosus but stouter and the abdomen is light yellowish brown with a 
distinct pattern as follows: It is margined conspicuously but not very broadly with metallic
