156 MEMOIRS OF Till;- (jr-JiEXSLAXD MCSEUil. 



distal funicle joint a little wider than long. Antenna" 12-jointed with a short ring-joiut. 

 Scutum and scutellum with scattered obscure, setigerons [lunctures. Hairless line of fore wing 

 with over a dozen lines of coarser cilia proxiniad of it. Axillje broadly joined, with a carina 

 between them. Type re-examined. 



Described from one female captured by sweeping in jungle. .Tunc 10, 1913 (A. P. 

 Dodd). 



Tliiliital: Little Mulgrave River. Gordonvale, Queensland. 



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

 ■wing and a hind tibia together on a slide. 



2. ANAGYRODES GIGANTEUS new species. 



Female: — Length, 3 mm. Larger than tliu genotype. 



Differing from ma.rimu!' in having the entire thorax, a large part of the maxillary i>alpi. 

 the middle tibial spurs (only tip of same in iiuixiinus), distal half of abdomen dorsad and a 

 broad band around caudal tibia at ])roximal third, caudal tibite dorsad except at base and a 

 narrower stripe across caudal tibia slightly before tip, metallic blue. Also, the infuscation of 

 the fore wing is different in that its proxinml margin is straight and across from the base of the 

 stigraal vein. The latter is also longer, a little over half the length of the elongate post- 

 marginal; the hind tibiae are a little more compressed. Head with numerous pin-punctures, the 

 scrobes somewhat longer than wide. Thorax sculptured as in the genotype but the pronotum is 

 shorter, only about a fourth the length of the scutum while the axilliB are separated a short 

 distance distinctly yet with a short carina between them. .Joints 3-6 of funicle each a little 

 T\-ider than long. Otherwise like the genotype. 



From one female caught in jungle, June 4, 1913. 



Ilithitat: Gordonvale (Cairns), Queensland. 



Tiipe: Xo. SySIlS, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the female on a tag; head, fore 

 wing and hind tibiae on a slide. 



Even after careful examination, the mandibles of both species seem edentate; they are 

 shajjed like those of the Arrhenophagini yet a second and shorter minute tooth is undoubtedly 

 ju-esent but very difficult to discover. The hind tibial spurs are short and stout. The ovipositor 

 in death is curved ventro-proximad from about the middle of the venter and the valves are 

 inconsjticuous.^ 



Genu.s ORISTATITIIORAX Girault. 

 The same as ChcUoncuiiis excejit in the mandililes. 



1. CRISTATITHORAX HUGOI new species. 



Female: — Length, 1.30 mm. 



Stigmal vein tolei-ably long, the frons very narrow, the eyes convergent, the fore wings 

 infuscated but without fuscous rays. Head longer than wide, the scrobes forming a semicircle. 

 Antenna; IS-jointed. the club enlarged, 3-jointed, the funicle joints all short, wider than long, 

 less than half the length of the pedicel. Marginal vein twice the length of the stiginal, the 

 postmarginal very short ; oblique, hairless line present. Axilla rather broadly meeting, the 

 scutellum with a tuft of hairs at apex. Face obtusely couvexed between the antennse but 

 there is no distinct carina there. Somewhat like Eehihrodryinus Perkins but the head is longer, 

 the scrobes are not elongate, the narrow fnmt is densely ]ranetate, the marginal vein much 



* The abdomen In this genus is proctofrypoid, the venter undivided, the ovipositor issuing from 

 the apex. Other encyrtirt genera have this anomalous structure (e.g. Eucomijs) which does not seem 

 lo have been noticed before.
