Etymology. - The species name "attenuatus" refers to the elongate form of body as well as to the relatively attenuating (hind) femora. Distribution: Australia (Queensland). The new species, Proavga attenuata sp. n., runs to P cardalei BELOKOBYLSKU with the help of BELOKOBYLSKU'S key (1989: 390-391) to the Proavga species. The distinction of the new species is presented in a modified key given by BELOKOBYLSKU (1989) for the two species hitherto known from Australia: 1 (2) Head in dorsal view transverse, twice as broad as long. In lateral view mesosoma less elongated, at most 1.8 times as long as high. Propodeum distinctly areolated. First tergite 1.5-1.8 times as broad as long medially. Ovipositor sheath very short and broadening clubform on its posterior half. $ 6*: 1.2-1.7 mm. (Figs 75-77, 81, 84,86-88 in BELOKOBYLSKU 1989: 391) P. lativalva BELOKOBYLSKU, 1989 2(1) Head in dorsal view less transverse, 1.35-1.6 times as broad as long (Figs 5,9). In lateral view mesosoma elongated, at least twice as long as high. First tergite at most somewhat broader behind than long medially. Ovipositor sheath longer and not clubform posteriorly. 3 (4) Temple in dorsal view somewhat more receded, eye 2.1-2.4 times as long as temple (Fig. 9). Hind femur less thick, 3.2-3.3 times as long as broad (Fig. 10). Hypopygium relatively small and less pointed, ovipositor sheath short, as long as hind tarsal segments 1-2 or 2-2.2 times as long as first tergite (Fig. 11). 9 6: 1.62.3 mm P. cardalei BELOKOBYLSKU, 1989 4 (3) Temple in dorsal view less receded, eye twice as long as temple (Fig. 5). Hind femur thick, 2.9-3 times as long as broad (Fig. 6). Hypopygium relatively large and pointed, ovipositor sheath long, as long as hind tibia + basitarsus (Fig. 8). 9: 2.5-3 mm Figs 1-11. - Figs 1-2. Ecphylus topali sp. n.: 1 = head in dorsal view, 2 = first tergite. - Figs 3-4 Ecphylus caudatus RUSCHKA: 3 = head in dorsal view, 4 = first tergite. - Figs 5-8. Proavga attenuata sp. n.: 5 = head in dorsal view, 6 = hind femur, 7 = first tergite, 8 = hypopygium and oviposition apparatus. - Figs 9-11. Proavga cardalei BELOKOBYLSKU: 9 = head in dorsal view, 10 = hind femur, 11 = hypopygium and oviposition apparatus
