AUSTRALIAN HYMEN OPTEBA CHALCIDOIDEA, IF.—GIBAULT. 215 



edge (nearly divided) and is close to the basal stripe. Also, the scape is broader, the pedicel 

 subelongate, somewhat longer than funicle 2. Otherwise identical. Types compared. 



From one female caught in jungle, June 25, 1914. 



Habitat: Gordonvale, Queensland. 



Type: No. Hy 2541, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the specimen on a tag with type 

 of persimilis; head on a slide with types of persimilis and sol. 



4. ZAOMMOMYIELLA PERSIMILIS new species. 



Female: — Length, 1.80 mm. 



Very similar to oculata but stouter, the axillae are metallic blue, there are four dusky 

 stripes on abdomen distad of the broad basal stripe, the scutellum is more distinctly punctate 

 rather than scaly and its sculpture is denser; the first tooth of mandibles is distinctly larger 

 than the inner two, which are paired and equal (in oculata the first two teeth are subequal, the 

 third a little stouter, none paired) and the pedicel is subelongate, somewhat longer than 

 funicle 2, which is next longest of the flagelluni. The scape is yellow in both species. Club 

 1 longest of the three. Compared with type of oculata. 



From one female caught in jungle, May 2, 1914 (A. P. Dodd). 



Habitat: Tweed Heads (Tweed River), New South Wales. 



Type: No. Hy 2542, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the specimen on a tag; head on a 

 slide. 



5. ZAOMMOMYIELLA SOL new species. 



Female: — Length, 1.30 mm. 



Wholly grass green, the abdomen coppery except across base, the face rosaceous brassy. 

 Legs white except the dark metallic coxa? and the black dorsal edges of all femora. Antenna? 

 as in persimilis. Fore wing with a distinct fuscous cross-stripe from the small stigmal vein 

 and distal fourth of the long marginal, the stripe rather broad, slightly curved and at cephalic 

 half accented so as to form a square area more distinct than the caudal part, which is rather 

 faint. Oral area orange yellow. Mandibles as in persimilis. Parapsidal furrows complete, 

 rather broad, shallow, narrowing cephalad. Thorax coarsely densely punctate, the punctures 

 flattened out on the scutellum. Propodeum glabrous, noncarinate. Segment 2 of abdomen 

 glabrous, 3 mostly so, the rest scaly. Differs from abnormis in being wholly metallic (except 

 the oral area narrowly) , the femora black above, in having a distinctly shorter abdomen, 

 smaller infuscated area on the fore wing, and this area forming a more or less distinct 

 stripe and the punctures of the scutellum flattened or very shallow. The propodeum has 

 several sunken cavities laterad and on each side of meson (but broadly separated) a narrow 

 rather obscure carina from caudad, abbreviated cephalad. 



Described from one female taken by sweeping jungle, May 2, 1914 (A. P. Dodd). 



Habitat: Tweed Heads (Tweed Eiver), New South Wales. 



Type: No. Hy2543, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the specimen on a tag; head on 

 a slide with type head of Zaommomyiella persimilis. 



PARZAOMMOMYIA new genus. 



Female: — Like Zaommomyiella Girault but the antenna? bear three ring-joints and the 

 scutum and scutellum with a complete median sulcus. The abdomen is subelongate, slender, 

 distinctly longer than the rest of the body. Marginal vein very long, over twice the length 

 of the snbmarginal, the postmarginal nearly thrice the length of the rather short stigmal. 

 Occiput very concave, the face subconvex. Axilla? only advanced a very little, the parapsidal 

 furrows complete. Mandibles tridentate, the third tooth truncate. Cheeks very short but 

 distinct. Pronotum not visible from above.
