THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST 17 



SOME CHALCIDOID HYMENOPTERA FROM NORTH 



QUEENSLAND. 



BY A. A. GIRAULT, NELSON (CAIRNS), AUSTRALIA. 



The types of the following species are in the Queensland 

 Museum, at Brisbane. 



Family TRICHOGRAMMATID^. 



LATHROMERINI. 



Genus Lathromerella Girault. 

 1. Lathromerella fasciata Girault. 



Five females of this beautiful species were taken June 3, 1913, 

 by sweeping the forested slopes of Mount Pyramid (from 1,500 to 

 2,500 feet), Nelson, North Queensland, by Mr. Alan P. Dodd. 

 The metathorax plus propodeum are black on each side having a 

 wide mesial portion concolorous (dorsal aspect). The two ring- 

 joints are verified. 



Genus Lathromeroides Girault. 



1. Lathromeroides fasciativentris n. sp. 



Female. — Length 1.30 mm. 



Exactly similar to the type, longicorpus Girault, but the 

 abdomen banded with four or five black cross stripes. The black 

 dot under the stigmal vein is surrounded with suffused blackish. 

 Two ring-joints. Mandibles tridentate. 



Male. — Not known. 



Described from one specimen captured with the foregoing 

 Lathromerella. 



Habitat. — Australia, Nelson (Cairns), Queensland. 



Type. — The above specimen on a slide. Later, the species 

 was compared with the type of longicorpus. It is distinct. 



Chaetostrichini 



Genus Neohrachista Girault. 

 The antennae in this genUs were wrongly described as bearing 

 but one funical joint; there are two but the first is wider than 

 long and not very distinctly separated, though distinct enough in 

 specimens of the following new species. In the type species, 

 however, it is still shorter and resembles more one of the ring- 

 joints except that it is wider and is intimately connected with the 



January, 1915
