AUSTRALIAN HYMENOPTEEA CHALCIDOIDEA, IV.—GISAULT. 201 



4. ACHRYSOCHARIS MACULATIPENNIS Girault. 

 Length, 1.20 mm. 



Wholly metallic green and punctate including most of the abdomen; propodeum blue; 

 legs white, the coxae darker; antennas dusky yellowish, pedicel over twice the length of 

 funfcle 1, which is subglobate; wings hyaline but in the fore wing there is a subelliptical stained 

 area from the knob of the stigmal vein. Like the other species but with no yellow on the body 

 and the abdomen shorter, wings less broad, more rounded at apex and moderately coarsely 

 ciliated. The stigmal vein is longer. Posterior femur more or less dusky. Second funiele 

 joint nearly twice the size of first but shorter than the pedicel which is long and obconie. 



Captured September 3, 1913. 



Type: A female with type of grandis. 



5. ACHRYSOCHARIS BIFASCIATUS Girault. 

 Length, 0.S5 mm. 



Golden yellow; pronotum and cephalic half of scutum, metallic green; propodeum, a 

 spot in center of seutellum, one across apex of each axilla, a smaller, round dot on each 

 axilla caudad of middle, near the seutellum, dusky, while two adjacent stripes across about 

 the middle of the abdomen, black; apex of each parapside metallic green; tips of ovipositor 

 valves black; fore wing with an obscure broad clouded stripe across it from about the 

 stigmal vein. First fnnicle joint subequal to the pedicel, funiele 2 longest of the flagellum, 

 the first club not much shorter than it. 



Captured May 11, 1913. 



Habitat: Gordonvale (Cairns), Queensland. 



Type: A female on a slide. 



6. ACHRYSOCHARIS LEIBNITZI Girault. 



Length, 0.85 mm. 



Like Closterocerus samtpierrei but at once distinguished because the antennae are not 

 compressed fusiform, the legs are white except blackish coxae; wings unifasciate, the fascia 

 only about half complete (from stigmal knob). Pedicel longer than any of the following 

 joints, those of funiele ovate. Antennae black. Mandibles tridentate. 



Type: A female on a slide. 



7. ACHRYSOCHARIS TRIFASCIATA Girault, 



One female, Cooktown, Queensland, forest, March 1, 1914 (A. P. Dodd) ; a female, 

 ■Gordonvale, Queensland, April 9, 1914. 



8. ACHRYSOCHARIS QUINQUEDENTATA new species. 



Female: — Length, 0.90 mm. 



Dark metallic blue, the legs (except caudal coxae and femora), scape and pedicel white, 

 rest of antennas dusky pallid. Thorax scaly reticulate, the propodeum glabrous, noncarinate; 

 abdomen with a short, white petiole. Fore wings slender, hyaline, unique in that they 

 bear a conspicuous, rather broad black stripe across from about proximal half of marginal 

 vein and the marginal cilia are about a third of the greatest wing width. Distal tarsal 

 joint subelongate. Mandibles with three large, somewhat spreading, outer teeth and two 

 minute inner ones. Flagellum tapering, the two funiele joints subequal, longest, distinctly 

 longer than the stout pedicel; first club joint barely shorter than the preceding joint, 3 

 subequal to the pedicel, with a distinct, rather long terminal spine. Flagellum with scattered
