AUSTl'ALIAX HTMENOPTESA CHALCIDOWEA, ril.—GIKAVLT. 133 



■carina betiveen the antenna — and I have also ignored sm-ii uf his characters as [lubcsi'Cnt eyes, 

 wing- pattern and sculiiture. For remarks on the validity of the tribe see elsewhere. The width 

 of the frous seems variable but for the present I have used it for a generic character. The 

 position of the ocelli is not considered stable enough to be of use.

 1. ANAGYRUS PURPUREUS new species. 



Fiiiialc: — Length. l.iiO nun., excluding ovi))ositor. i\Ietallic iMirple, the abdomen green, 

 the legs brownish yellow, the cox<e concolorous; wings hyaline. Scape and pedicel coneolorous, 

 the first three funicle joints dusky, the rest yelhpwish e.\cc|it tlie distal two club .joints which 

 are dusky. Head and thorax with a dense scaly sfulptiirc. tlie axiihe finer, the scntelluni 

 longitudinally line<l. Abdomen densely finely scaly. \'.al\is of o\ i|iositur lilack, distinctly but 

 shortly exserted (for about a fifth the length of the abdonnm). Lateral ocelli not especially 

 near the eyes, the marginal vein ]iunctiforni. the moderately long stiginal a half longer than 

 the postmarginal. Funicle joints more or less sub(|nadrate, the first shorter than the ne.xt two 

 which are longest, a little longer than wide, the sixth or distal joint wider than long. Body 

 flattened. Oblique hairless line on fcne wing ratlier oliscure, very narrow, fjlub rather large. 

 Segments of abdomen more or less equal. Second tooth of numdible broadly truncate. Scape 

 broadly dilated. Frons moderately narrow.

Habitat: Boweu, Queensland. 



Type: No. Hy:ill63, Queensland Musenni, l!risli,-inc, the specimen on a tag. the lu'ad 

 and a liind leg on a slide. 



2. ANAGYRUS MAZZININI new species. 



Vcmali:: — Length, il.li.j mm., excluding ovipositor which is extruded fcu' one third the 

 length of abdomen. 



Similar to CiiccUIoxi'hhs worccstcri Girault with which I have compared it but very much 

 more robust, the ovipositor is distinctly extruded, the scape distinctly dilated, with a foliaceous 

 expansion ventrad which, however, is not great but distinct and prominent; funicle 2 barely 

 shorter than the pedicel and distinctly longer than wide, 1 and 3 each only a little shorter 

 than it, funicle 6 a little wider than long. Club fuscous. The fine down on the scutum is a 

 little denser in this species, not cons)iicuous in either. I'^yes convergent above in botli species, 

 the frons narrow in tliis species, moderately broad in ii-orcisliri.

3. ANAGYRUS AURICORPUS n.w species. 



Female: — Length, 1.20 mm. Short, stout, dejiressed, broad. 



Pale golden yellow, the eyes pale green, the wings hyaline. Frons densely scaly 

 liunctate, also the scutum and scutellum, the axilla; and the wide, linear |)ronotum scaly. 

 Axillas apparently joined by a piece between them, the nu'sal ends separated by this piece. 

 Scutellum large, flat. Scape dilated distinctly but not greatl.y. Club two thirds the length of 

 the funicle, short, stout; funicle joints wider than long, widening distad, 1 smallest, all a 

 little shorter than the short pedicel. Second tooth of mandible broadly truncate. Cheeks about 

 Jis long as the eyes; frons rather broad, face inflexed. Maigiri.il vcui tri.angular, the stignial
