AUSTRALIAN EYMENOPTEBA CHALCIDOIDEA, II.—GIEAULT. 161 



Tribe ANAPHINI. 

 Genus PARANAPHOIDEA Girault. 

 The thorax bears a phragma. 



1. PARANAPHOIDEA CAUDATA new species. 



Female: — Length, 1 mm. 



Very similar to egrcgia Girault but the conspicuous black line along each side of the 

 postscutellum absent, this sclerite wholly yellow ; the so-called V-shaped yellow marking on 

 the scutum (in reality, two acute, long, black wedges from cephalad on a yellow ground and 

 extending about to caudal margin) is absent since the black areas from cephalic margin on 

 each side are rectangular, somewhat longer than wide but extending only half way to the 

 caudal margin leaving the meson and lateral margins of cephalic half of scutum narrowly 

 yellow. The legs are wholly yellow and the antenna; except the club. Funicle 1 is somewhat 

 larger. Otherwise identical. 



Male : — Unknown. 



Described from female taken from a window, February 3, 1912. 



Habitat: Cooktown, Queensland. 



Type: No. Hy%459, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the specimen on a slide with the 

 type of egrcgia. 



2. PARANAPHOIDEA INTERMEDIA new species. 



Female: — Length, 1.10 mm. 



Exactly similar to egrcgia but distinctly larger and characterised by having finer discal 

 cilation on the fore wing (about 32 lines) and the head is all yellow, together with the leys. 

 The funicle joints are all somewhat longer, the cephalic tibia* bear strigils. In both species, 

 there is a triangular black spot laterad on postscutellum. In all four species of the genus, the 

 axilla;' are margined with yellow caudad and laterad. 



Male: — Not known. 



From one female captured on April G, 1014. by sweeping grass in forest. 



Habitat: Gordonvale (Cairns). Queensland. 



Type: No. Hy£460, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the specimen on a slide. 



A male of a species of this genus collected by Mr. A. P. Dodd at Cloncurry, Queensland, 

 April, 1914, resembled closely the genotype. The male antenna' are as in Stethynium. The 

 color pattern of the thorax appears to be a generic characteristic. 



Genus POLYNEMOIDEA Girault. 

 This genus differs fundamentally from Stethynium Enoek in lacking the thoracic phragma. 



Genus STETHYNIUM Enock. 



1. STETHYNIUM CINCTrVENTRIS Girault. 



Female: — Length, 0.S0 mm. 



"With the habitus of Anaphes. Black, the abdomen with a broad band of silvery white 

 around its base which occupies nearly a third of the surface; legs white or nearly, the antenna? 

 black, the first three funicle joints cylindrical, the second longest, 1 and 3 more or less equal, 

 a third shorter than 2; 6 subglobular, a third shorter than 5 while 4 is a fourth shorter than 5; 

 proximal club joint nearly half of the club. Fore wings rather narrow and graceful, with about 

 fourteen lines of discal cilia across the widest part of the blade, the longest marginal cilia 

 about half the greatest width. Hind wings rather narrow and curved, with five lines of fine 

 discal cilia toward tip, the third and fourth lines soon disappearing. Scutum more or less 

 pallid especialty at caudal half, the parapsides and scutellum white. Strigil present. Scutellum 

 rectangular, the mesopostscntcllum much longer than it and joined onto the phragma (two
