very much and finally found other forms which seem intermediate between the 
two, the antennae reduced in number of joints and the marginal vein lengthened. 
These genera are Australian. In several instances I have been considerably 
puzzled in regard to which group certain species should be placed, notably in 
the casa of an Aphelinus a Physcus and a Coceophagus. 
Now Aphelinines frequently have the mesopleura entire, the antennae are 
inserted below the middle of the face, the middle tibial spur is very frequently 
long (but slender usually; small ones when occurring are matched by those of 
Arrhenophagus), the mandibles bi-or tridentate, the form short and compact, the 
tarse usually 5-jointed (when 4-jointed again matched by Arrhenophagus), the 
wings frequently ornate and with an oblique, hairless line, ring-joints usually 
absent, a variety of form occurs, they jump well and they are usually parasitic 
upon coccids. These characters belong more to the Zneyrüidae than to the 
Eulophidae and I should not see great objections to uniting them with the 
encyrtid Paneostigmini, forming a separate subfamily of the Zneyrtidae. 
In this connection I should notice a minute wingless insect belonging to 
the present Aphalinini, captured in the jungle near Nelson, North Queensland 
in November, which had antennae like those of Eretmocerus. It seemed to be a 
male but through unfortunate circumstances was accidentally blown away just 
as I was on the point of descubing it. 
A. A. Girault (Nelson, Cairus, Qsld., Australia). 
A new genus of Ophioneurine Trichogrammatidae from Java. 
Among some egg-parasites sent t0 me by Herr P. Van der Goot of 
Java I found the following interesting form in the hymenopterous family Triche- 
grammatidae. It belongs to the tribe Ophioneurinı. 
Lathromeromyia new genus. 
Female: — Like Lathromeris Foerster but the abdomen is not conical and 
plainly longer than the thorax but short and obliquely truncate as in Ufens, 
no longer than the thorax and the marginal cilia of the fore wing are moderately 
long, the longest about a third of the greatest wing width or somewhat less. 
Also, the antennae bear two ring-joints. Mandibles tridentate. Marginal vein not 
much longer than the stigmal. Similar to Lathromeroidea Girault but lacking one 
club joint and the discal ciliation is less regular. 
Male: — Not known. 
Type: The following species. 
l. Lathromeromyia perminuta new species. 
Female: — Length, 030 nım. 
Dusky black, suffused with yellowish, the fore wings distinctly but not 
deeply iniuscated, from base out to end of stigmal vein and from thence more 
lightly so to apex. Hind wings narrow, with two distinct rows of discal cilia 
along cephalic margin, the caudal marginal cilia much longer than the greatest 
width of the blade but slightly shorter than the longest marginal cilia of the fore 
wing, the latter with no oblique line of cilia from stigmal knob and bearing about 
a dozen lines of ciliation which is in more or less regular lines. Tunicle a little 
less than half the length of the club whose distal joint is longest, subequal to 
the pedicel, the other three joints plainly wider than long. Tarsal joints of mo- 
derate length. 
Described from two female specimens labelled „From eggs of Cicada sp.? 
8. 9. 1913. On leaves of sugar cane.“ 
Habitat: Pasoeroean, Java. 
Types: The above specimens on a slide deposited in to the collections 
of the Queensland Museum at Brisbane.
