numbers of the species are added in brackets): Anhormius BELOKOBYLSKU, 1989 (1) , Austrohormius BELOKOBYLSKU, 1989 (4), Avga NIXON, 1940 (1), Hormius NEES, 1818 (10), Neoavga BELOKOBYLSKU, 1989 (1) and Proavga BELOKOBYLSKU, 1989 (3, of which 1 species is new. New faunistic contribution: Proavga cardalei BELOKOBYLSKU, 1989 - 2 9 9: Australia, Central New South Wales, Round Hill, near Lake Cargillego, taken at night with MV-lamp, 11 January 1981, leg. HANGAY et VOJNITS (NO. 80) 2 . - The species was described on the basis of a pair of specimens (1 9 + 1 d) taken in Northern Territory ("Bessie Spring" and "Goose Lagoon"), Australia. * * * Proavga attenuata sp. n. $ (Figs 5-8) Description of the holotype 9. - Body 3 mm long. Head in dorsal view (Fig. 5) less transverse, 1.35 times as broad as long, eye twice as long as temple, latter receded. OOL:OD:POL as 7:4:7. Malar space as long as basal width of mandible, or height of eye three times as long as malar space. Face (together with clypeus) quadrate, i.e. as wide as high. Head polished; upper half of face punctate, interspaces shorter than punctures. -Antenna about one-fifth longer than body, with 31 antennomeres. First flagellomere four times as long broad, further flagellomeres faintly attenuating so that penultimate flagellomere twice as long as broad. Mesosoma in lateral view 2.3 times as long as high. Notaulix distinct on anterior declivous part of mesonotum. Mesonotum punctate, shiny, interspaces about as large as punctures. Scutellum polished. Propodeum rugo-rugulose. Mesopleuron polished, sternaulix indistinct, epicnemia rugose. - Hind femur (Fig. 6) 2.9 times as long as broad medially. Hind tibia twice as long as hind basitarsus, with relatively long setae. Fore wing as long as body. Pterostigma five times as long as wide, issuing radial vein proximally from its middle; rl as long as width of pterostigma and oblique to fore margin of pterostigma (i.e. directed to tip of wing), r3 1.4 times as long as r2, r2 one-fifth longer than cuqul. Vein d2 twice as long as dl. Brachial cell closed. - First section of mediallan vein twice as long as second section. First tergite (Fig. 7) 1.36 times as wide behind as long medially, spiracle anteriorly from its middle; pair of keels faintly distinct, far from each other and merging posteriorly into longitudinal rugosity of tergite. Further tergites shrivelled owing to their weak sclerosity. Hypopygium (Fig. 8) medium-sized, apically pointed; ovipositor sheath as long as hind tibia + basitarsus, tip of ovipositor as in Fig. 8: arrow. Ground colour of body brownish yellow with brownish or dark brownish tints on head, mesopleuron, metanotum and shrivelled tergites. Space, pedicel and first flagellomere brownish yellow, flagellomeres 2-3 darkening, rest of flagellum brownish greyish. Ocellar field black. Palpi pale yellow. Legs and tegula yellow. Ovipositor sheath blackish. Wings hyaline, pterostigma and veins opaque yellow. Description of the female paratypes (2 9 9). - Perfectly similar to the holotype 9. Body 2.5-3 mm long (2.5: 1 9, 3: 1 9). Antenna with 24 antennomeres (2 9 9) (31 antennomeres of the holotype is an aberrant extremity?). Hind femur three times as long as broad. o* and host unknown. Type material. - Holotype 9: Australia, East Queensland, between Gympie and Tiaro, near Bruce Highway, taken at night with MV-lamp, 24 February 1981, leg. HANGAY et VOJNITS (No. 253) 2 . Paratypes (2 99): 1 9: with same data as holotype (No. 254) 2 . 1 9 : Australia, NE Queensland, Conway Range National Park, E from Proserpine, taken at night with MV-lamp, 22 February 1981, leg. HANGAY, HERCZEG et VOJNITS (NO. 227) 2 . Holotype is deposited in the Australian National Insect Collection, Canberra; 2 9 paratypes are deposited in the Hungarian Natural History Museum (Department of Zoology), Budapest, Hym. Typ. Nos 75057506 (paratypes). The genus Anhormius was recently synonymized with Hormius (WHARTON 1993:136). 2 See the collecting report by HANGAY et al. (1981).
