the prepectxis. Spots of middle femur ventrad. Funicles 2 and 3 siibequal, each a little 

 longer than wide, 1 distinctly shorter than either. 



From one female caught in forest, January 23, 1913. 



Sahitat: Townsville, Queensland. 



Type: No. EySSGo, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the specimen on a tag; head on a 

 slide with type appendages of E. aurivenlrin. 



43. EUPELMUS PACHYSCAPHA new species. 



Female: — Length, 1.70 mm., excluding ovipositor which is black and extruded for a 

 length equal to three fourths that of the abdomen, the ralves minutely densely feathery. 



Dark metallic blue, the tarsi and tips of tibiae white, the abdomen pale yellowish 

 brown washed with metallic pur])le along the distal half dorsad and along the lateral aspects, 

 the form slender and like that of austrdliensis. Fore wings with a midlongitudinal dusky 

 rather narrow stripe from apex to a point about opposite apex of the submarginal vein, 

 otherwise hyaline, the venation very pale. Scape greatly, foliaceously ilattened, rectangular, 

 the flagellum subclavate, the funiele joints all eupshaped and wider than long, larger distad, 

 all smaller than the small pedicel which is hardly longer than wide. Postmarginal vein 

 longer than the stigmal. 



Described from one female captured by sweeping in forest. September 22. 1914. 



Habitat: Capeville (Pentland), Queensland. 



Type: No. Hy 3S66, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the above specimen in alcohol with 

 the type of Atoposoma unguttatipes. 



Of the foregoing species, teorcesteri, paganus and cliaritoloplioides probably belong to 

 Chaiitolophiis Foerster but do not agree with the diagnosis as given by Ashmead (1904) as 

 regards the insertion of the antenna-. It is not safe to trust solely to the following table for 

 species in this genus since the species referred to Anastatus may become confused. Tables to 

 both genera should be used conjointly. The species are common in forest gi'asses. 



DIAGNOSIS OF THE AUSTRALIAN SPECIES OF EUPELMUS. 



Females. 

 T. Body, excluding appendages, wholly metallic green. 



Extruded portion of valves of ovipositor wholly concolorous (if not extruded, tips not 

 white). Compare paganus, cltaritolophoides and pachy.icaplui. 

 Valves of ovipositor not or barely extruded; wings hyaline. 

 Legs concolorous; very large. 



Axilla; very widely separated: funicles 3 and 4 longest. 1 longer than wide. 



Tips of tibiiE brownisli woreesleri Girault. 



Only some of the legs more or less concolorous. Of normal size. 



Legs golden yellow except coxa;, washed obscurely with submetallic on last 

 two pairs of femora and tibiaj; scape compressed; pedicel elongate, 

 longer than funiele joints separately; funiele 2 about twice longer 

 than wide; most of middle tibia yellow. Funiele 1 a little longer 



than wide mairsoHJ Girault. 



Legs with middle of femora and tibia; darker (except cephalic femora) ; the 



same but funiele 2 plainly not twice longer than wide; funiele 1 wider 



than long, 3 subequal to 2, quadrate . . . . lamli Girault. 



Valves of ovipositor extruded for third the length of abdomen. Wings iufuscated 



from about middle of marginal vein to apex. 



Legs concolorous except tips of tibia- and the tarsi ; pedicel much longer than any 



of the funiele joints of which 4 is longest. Compare rfHwasi 



renani Girault.
