hind coxae. The spurs of the middle tibiae 
are reddish black. Wings: Costal band grayish- 
brown and distinct through the third and 
fourth sections of the costa (cells Sc and R 2 ) 
and along the costal border through the apex 
of cell R3. The band actually extends through 
most of cell R 3 but is faint and not distinct 
below vein R3. The band extends just a short 
distance into cell R5. The cubital streak is 
broad and distinct brownish in color. It fills 
all of the basal portion of cell M4, nearly to 
the top of the m-cu crossvein. The brown 
colored portion of the streak ends at about 
the apex of the cubital cell and blends into 
the typical gray to blackish coloring along 
vein Cui+lst A. The narrowed portion of 
cell Cu is slightly more than two times longer 
than the distance from the apex of the cell to 
the wing margin. A distinct lobe is present at 
the tip of Cui+lst A. There is no distinct 
spot present at the tip of vein M3-1-4. Venation 
otherwise as given in the general discussion. 
Abdomen: Chiefly black or dark colored. The 
first tergum is brown to black on the basal 
three-fourths, with a yellow band across the 
apex. The second tergum has a brownish band 
across the basal one-third to one-half and is 
yellow to whitish on the apical portion. The 
third tergum is entirely shining black and has 
the usual row of black cilia on each side. The 
fourth tergum is broadly yellowish to slightly 
discolored brownish-yellow down the middle 
portion and shining black on the sides. The 
fifth tergum has a large shining black spot on 
each side; the median part and the apical one- 
third are all yellow. 
Length: Body, 6.7 mm.; wings, 6.0 mm. 
FEMALE. The brownish coloration of the 
cubital streak extends well beyond the apex 
of the cubital cell, about halfway to the wing 
margin. The cubital cell is about one and one- 
third times longer than the distance from the 
apex of the cell to the wing margin. Ovi- 
positor: Reddish-yellow to brownish in color 
and very conspicuous. In undissected speci- 
mens the ovipositor extends beyond the apex 
of the fifth segment, a distance about equal 
to the combined lengths of segments 3 to 5. 
The basal segment of the ovipositor (seg- 
ment 7) is distinctly longer than segment 5. 
The fully extended ovipositor is 6.0 mm. long 
(Fig. 18^). The piercer is about 2.0 mm. 
(Fig. 18c) by about 0.2 mm. wide and tapers 
gradually from a point well in front of the 
apex of the oviduct. The oviduct extends to 
within 0.2 mm. from the tip of the ovipositor. 
Four pairs of preapical setae, two long and 
two short, are well developed. The posterior 
pair is located slightly more than twice its 
length or approximately 0.064 mm. from the 
apex. The inversion membrane is 2.4 mm. 
long by about 0.29 mm. wide. The rasper 
extends to within about 0.85 mm. of the base 
of the segment (Fig. 18^). The basal segment 
is about 1.64 mm. long, measured on a mid- 
line, and the spiracles are located 0.32 mm. 
from the base of the segment, measured on 
the lateral margins. 
Length: Approximately the same as in the 
male. 
Holotype male and allotype female: Deeral, 
Queensland, ex Acmena macrocarpa, June, 
1949 . Approximately 500 specimens are on 
hand, same data as type; 300 are being de- 
signated as paratypes. Over 100 specimens 
are also on hand from the following localities 
and hosts: Cairns, Queensland, ex Eugenia 
hranderhorstii and E. tierneyana, Jan. -Feb., 
I 95 O; Atherton Tableland, Queensland, ex 
Schizomeria whitei^ Eugenia luehmannii^ and 
Endiandra compressa, Nov., 1949, and March, 
I 95 O; Babinda, Queensland, ex Arytera sp.? 
Sept., 1949 ; Garradunga, Queensland, ex 
Rhodomyrtus macrocarpa, Nov., 1949, and ex 
Eugenia suborhicularis, Aug., 1949; Cairns, 
Queensland, ex Psidium guajava, June, 1949, 
and March, 1950; Atherton Tableland and 
Julatten, Queensland, ex Castanospora alphan- 
dii, Dec., 1949; near Oak Beach, North 
Queensland, ex Thevetia peruviana, Feb., 1950; 
Clump Point, Queensland, ex Eugenia cormi- 
flora, ]\i\Y, 1949 ; also Cairns, same host as the
