AVSTIl.lf.IAX HYMEXOrrt-:i:A CIIALCIDOIDICA. II.—GIRAULT. IC,?. 



outliuiug a large distal ovate liyaline area with tlie broailer end at apex of tlie blade and its 

 narrower end penetrating eeutrally more than half way fnnn apex to apex of venation. Tip 

 of abdomen whitish, the pallid dusky valves of tlie ovipositor extruded a short distance. Thorax 

 as iu cinctiveiitris which also appears to have the lateral grooves on postscutelhim; however, 

 here, the scutelhnn is longer and widens somewhat eaudad. Scape and pedicel pallid dusky; 

 fonicle 3 longest, sidiecpiai to the pedicel, nearly twice longer than wide, -l and 6 shortest, 

 subglobular, 2 and .j subequal, somewhat shorter than ,3, 1 a little shorter than 2; club only 

 slightly wider than tlie fimicle, its middle .joint shortest, distinctly wider than long. Strigil 

 distinct. Ovii^ositor inserted at base of abdomen. Fore wings as in Paranoplioiihu, truncate 

 at apex, bearing aliout :!2 lines of fine discal ciliatiou, the marginal cilia very short. Caudal 

 wings broad, witli about 7 lines of discal cilia, their caudal marginal cilia ilistiuctly not as 

 hmg as the greatest widtli of tlie lilade (wliicli is at distal third) but over twice the length of 

 the uniform marginal cilia of the fcn-e wing. Iliud tiliial spur single. Caudal femur with 

 numerous very short, stiff seta> dorsad.

5. STETHYNIUM NOTATUM new species. 



Female: — Length, U.:lii iiiui. 



Much like dalloiii but tlie abdomen bears four distinct cross-stripes of lilack, the first 

 ;it base, the euneate marking on each siile of meson of scutum reaches three fourths the waj- to 

 caudal margin (only about half way iu i_hilti»ii) and there is a round black spot just eaudad 

 of eacli jiarajiside (liesides the more obscure, cresceutic m.arking farther eaudad and present 

 ill iJ(illoiii). .Also the scajie and pedicel are lemon yellow. Structurally differs in that funiele 

 2 is somewhat shorter being only a little longer than wide, 3 is quadrate ((! is globular and 

 larger than 5 in both species) ; the fore wings are less slender (about IG lines of discal cilia 

 ^vllere broadest) ; the caudal wings with five or six lines of discal cilia which are uniformly 

 distributed distad and tliey are broader than with diiltoiii. Compared with t.vpe of daltoni. 



From four females which emerged May. 1!>14 from gall Xo. 31 (of 11. Hacker). 



Htihitdt: T'.risbaiie, Queeusland. 



Type: Xo. Ihi.'lG.j, Queensland Museum. Brisbane, four females on a slide. 



The species liiroirKicri bears a more or less distinct dusky band across abdomen somewhat 

 proxiinad of middle while thilfoiti has a distinct euneate marking on cephalic scutum on each 

 side of the meson (cephalic half) and flie cejilialic end of each parapside is dusky. The types 

 of cefiulU, cuvicii, hiroirsirri and maiien liave been re-examined. 



6. STETHYNIUM PERLATIPENNE new species. 



Female: — Length. 0.90 mm. 



Marked like flariiiot(C but more robust, both wings very much broader, the fore wing 

 bearing about forty-eight lines of discal cilia, the hind wings about eight. 



Male: — Not known. 



Described from two females reared with flaehtotar. 



Habitat: Melbourne?, Victoria. 



Tjipcs: Xo. Hj/C'ltitj, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, tlie above specimens on a slide with 

 the type female flariiiola-.

 obscurely, the teguhe, the cephalic third of each piarapside and the abdomen are velvetv
