jrSTHALIAX HYMEXOPTEHA CIIALCIDOIDEA, VlI.—tllUAULT. 41 



delicate. Scutelhim finely louiiitiuliually striated, without an apparent cross-suture near apex. 

 Fore wings quite as in Aphehiius; int'useated. 8cutollum long. Like Apliehnux but tlie eyes 

 convergent, the face infle.xed, the antenn;i:> with a ring-joint, the middle tibial spur stout. 



1. EUTRICHOSOMELLA ALBICLAVA new species. Female. Genotype. 



Length, il.sn mm. llouey yellmv, the scutellum and abdomen orange yellow; face of 

 pronotum, mesojileura, a strijie across base of abdomen and another across at distal three 

 fourths, dusky. Fore wings stained under the marginal vein, the stain accented at apex of 

 submarginal and stigmal veins. Thorax finely scaly. Discal cilia proximad of the oblique 

 hairless line twice coarser thau the main ciliation, aliout from 7 to S lines. Scape, i)edicel, 

 funicle 1 and the legs orange yellow; club white, rest of antennae yellowish white. Funicle 1 

 shortest, a little wider than long, 2 and 3 snbequal, each a little longer than wide. Pedicel 

 long, two thirds the length of the funicle. 



Hahitiit: Gordonvale (Cairns) and Cooktown, (|)neenshind. .lungle, ilay S, 19i:J 

 (A. P. Dodd) at Gordonvale (type). 



Type: Xo. Eyi'JOT, Queensland Museum. Brisbane, the specimen on a tag, the head on 

 a slide. 



2. EUTRICHOSOMELLA MULTIFASCIATA new species. 



Female: — Length, ].10 nun. 



Very similar to alhichii'a Girault but differing in the following particulars: The jiedicel 

 is distinctly longer, subelougate; the funicle joints are longer, 3 a little longer than 2; the 

 caudal pair of the four bristles on margin of scutum are minute, not large, coarse and equal 

 to the cephalic pair as in the genotype; the cephalic pair of bristles on scutum are smaller; 

 the disc of scutum is naked, not with a half dozen or so scattered setaj; the bristle on each 

 axilla and the four on scutellum are all snmllcr; the scutellum is densely polygonally reticulated; 

 the axilla3 meet inwardly, not rather widely separated; the abdomen bears about iive cross- 

 stripes of black; the fore wings are more uniformly infn.scated, the iufuscation only accented 

 proximad of the hairless line at base of marginal vein and there rather indefinitely; the cilia 

 proximad of the hairless line are finer and there are about eleven lines (only about six in the 

 genotype) ; and the middle tiliia) are fuscous except at tips. The funicle is wholly white in 

 both species, the hind tibia? fuscous below knees. The same otherwise. 



General color pale yellow. Cross-stri])CS on abdonu>n coinmenciug some distance out 

 from Viase. 



From one female captured from a window, December 1-t. I'.Mi. 



Habitat: Gordonvale (Gairns), Queensland. 



Tiipc: No. Ey;200S. Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the above specimen on a slide. 



3. EUTRICHOSOMELLA BLATTOPHAGA new species. 



Female: — Length, l.l.j nun. 



Very similar to aWiclava Girault but not markcil at all ttith black and the iufuscation 

 under the marginal vein of fore wing is very faint and unif(uin. Sidi's and venter of thoi'ax 

 lemon yellow. Only the abdomen and vertex is orange yelhiw. rephalic femur swollen. 

 Abdomen squarely truncate at apex.

 (A. P. Dodd). Jungle. 



Habitat: Babinda, Queensland.
