AUSTBALIAN HYMEXOPTERA CHALCIDOIDEA, T.—GIPAULT. 301 



green. Sculpture of abdomeu distributed as iu cainiseiisis, the tliird dorsal segment sculptiu-ed 

 across proximal half. Club with an apparent fourth joint near tip. Funiele joints wider than 

 long, the first more or less subqnadrate. Parapsides uuiformly punctate. Head striate. At 

 least one mandible 3-dentate. 



Female: — Not known. 



From three males labelled " i2. From Pamong. 8. Austr. S-3-12. S. W. Fulton "• 

 " 43. From Rirney, S. Austr. S. W. Fulton "; and " 44. From Pamong, S. Austr. S. W. 

 Fulton." All minutien-mounted. 



Habitat: South Australia (Pamong?). 



Type: In the National Museum, Melbourne, the specimen labelled " 44 '' with a slide 

 bearing the head. 



5. PERILAMPUS LEVIFACIES new species (GiraiUt and A. P. Dodd). 

 Mule: — Length, 2.50 mm. 



Similar to queenslaiidensis but the ocelli are nearly in a straight line (distinctly disposed 

 in a triangle in queenslaiidensis), the vertex caudad of the ocelli is transversely striated (ouly 

 the occiput in the other species, the sculpture not crossing the occipital margin), the size is 

 much larger, the inner margin of the parapside more broadly glabrous. Propodeum with a pair 

 of foveate lines down the meson, the fove£B large, followed laterad, centrally, by a large, smooth, 

 reticulated area. The median foveate lines are separated by a sharp carina and a sharp, curved 

 carina bounds the caudal margin of the smooth area (same in queenslandensis but the smooth 

 area is smaller, its reticulation faint). The species cairnsensis is much stouter, its head is 

 striate, the abdomen minutely, deeply punctured and the metallic tibiiB suffused more or less 

 with brownish and the mesal margin of each parapside is punctured like the rest of the meso- 

 thorax. The species is separated from qneeiislandensis mainly on the difference in the position 

 of the ocelli. 



Female : — Not known. 



Described from one male captured by Mr. P. P. Dodd in October. 



Uahiiat: Kuranda, Queensland. 



Type: No. Hy 3748, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, tlie uliove specimen on a tag. 



6. PERILAMPUS BRISBANENSIS new species. 



Female: — Length, 3 mm. 



This species may be distinguished at once because it bears a short, obtuse tooth-like 

 spine from the center of scutum. Similar to ciueenslandcnsis but the ocelli are in a straight line, 

 the face bears scattered pin-punctures, especially ventro-niesad of the eyes (in the other species 

 few and very minute there, less conspicuous), from the cephalic ocellus there runs to the occipital 

 margin a sort of sulcus (rather a depression) and on each side of this there are a few wrinkles. 

 Also in general coloration, the body being deep Prussian blue, the abdomen green distad, the 

 antenna light reddish yellow (not very dark brown as in tlie other species), the head, scape and 

 pedicel bronze. The abdomen bears fine, faint pin-punctures along the cephalic margin of 

 segment 3 and the distal third of segment 2 as seen from caudal aspect (in queenslandensis the 

 second segment is smooth from caudal aspect) ; segment 3 is absent. The smooth area on the 

 propodeum (in reality, finely scaly) on each side of the median carina is larger and has a much 

 less pronounced fovea just beside the median carina. The stigmal vein is a little shorter in 

 relation to the marginal. Differs from levifacies in the same particulars excepting the 

 characteristics of that species. The male type of levifacies has ouly two segments on the
