150 MEMOIi:S OF THE QVEEySLAND MUSEUM. 



Face between the cephalic ocellus and the great facial impression nearly smooth but with some 

 sparse and very faint punctures. Mesonotiim finely jiunctured and somewhat shining, the 

 scutelium excessively densely sculptured except at apex, the axilla meeting inwardly. Wings 

 with a very short marginal fringe, the marginal vein very short (twice longer than wide),* the 

 stigmal longish and clavate (subequal to the marginal), the postmarginal indistinct and little 

 developed; the oblique, hairless line present. Abdomen short, triangular, about as long as the 

 thorax, concave above, the ovipositor very slightly extruded, the hypopygium not prominent. 

 With the habitus of Parencyrtus Ashmead. Antenna; 11-jointed, tlie club 3-jointed. 



Male difl'ering in the comparatively small, widely separated eyes, the ocelli in a sub- 

 equilateral triangle, the very dense surface sculpture of the head and mesonotum and the more 

 hairy antenna' with a solid and smaller club-joint (the antenna; 9-jointed). 



1. ECHTHRODRYINUS DESTRUCTOR Perkins. Female; male. Genotype. 



Length, 1 mm. 



Head black, the mesonotum blue, metallic, in some aspects shining, very finely punctured 

 and clothed with short black hairs; scutelium dull at base and with very dense, microscopic 

 sculjiture, its apex in some aspects shining and brilliantly green or blue and with some longish 

 dark hairs; thorax beneath and the j)leura, black, not or hardly metallic; abdomen bright 

 metallic green on the basal portion. Wings hyaline, uniformly hairy except at base, the venation 

 obscure brownish yellow. Antennie sordid yellowish, clothed with short hairs. The whole of 

 all the legs pale yellowish. 



Habitat: Queensland. Parasitic on larva; of Xcodryinus, Faradiiiinus and so forth. 



Type: Querj'. 



2. ECHTHRODRYINUS XANTHOGASTER new species. 



Feiiutle: — Length. 1.20 mm. With the habitus somewhat of Hadronotus. 



Dark metallic blue, the abdomen honey yellow and margined nearly to tip from base 

 with brownish. Wings subhyaline, the venation as figured for the genotype; oblique hairless 

 line present. Legs and antenna pale yellow, the scape concolorous at proximal half, the pedicel 

 above at base. Funicle hispid, the joints all shorter than the pedicel, 1-3 narrower and shorter 

 than the others, quadrate; 4 a little longer than wide, 5 and 6 subquadrate. Pedicel not long. 

 Club naked, subequal in length to the three preceding joints combined. Scape slightly com- 

 jiressed. Mandibles as figured for the genotype. Axilla; connate at meson. Fore wings with 

 short marginal fringes, slightly stained about the marginal and stigmal veins. Body finely 

 densely scaly, the mesonotum with scattered pin-punctures. Pubescence sparse. Sculpture of 

 the axilla; finer. A sjiiracic on margin of abdomen just proximad of middle and which bears 

 a few very long hairs. Ajjparentl}' agreeing in other characters with the genotype. Hind tibial 

 spur single, small. Frons narrow. Club very little wider than funicle. 



Described from one female captured by sweeping in the jungle, July 24, 1913. 



Habitat: Gordouvale (Cairns), Queensland. 



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

 a fore wing and the anterior legs on a slide. 



The sjjecies resembles Coccidoxeiius tricolor Girault but the marginal and stigmal veins 

 are longer and the color of the abdomen is different. 



Genus LEPTOMASTIX Foerster. 



Synonym : Caloccriiieita Girault. 



In the Australi.'in species the head is lenticular, the costal cell extraordinarily narrow 



so that the marginal vein appears to be very elongate. Frons broad. Wings long, rather 



slender, Cheeks short, the eyes long. Scape long, slender, the bulla long. Stigmal and post-
