AUSTRALIAN HTMENOPTEBA CHALCIDOIDEA, IV.—GIMAULT. 255 



GENUS SELITEICHODELIA Girault. 13 

 1. SELITRICHODELIA AURIOS Girault. 



The type locality is Brisbane, Queensland. 



2. SELITRICHODELIA TRIMACULOSA Girault. 

 A synonym of Syntomosphyrella quadrimaculata Girault. 



3. SELITRICHODELIA QUADRIMACULATA Girault. 

 Antea, p. 247, line 2 of the description, trimaculata read trimaculosa. 



4. SELITRICHODELIA CULEX new Bpecies. 



Female: — Length, 1 mm. 



Differing- from the genotype in Laving a glazed sculpture or nearly glazed. Black, the 

 wings hyaline, the head, antennae and legs except coxa 1 , lemon yellow; also dorsum of abdomen 

 at meson near apex, more or less so. Mandibles tridentate. Postscutellum somewhat yellowish, 

 nearly reaching the abdomen, the propodeum very slant at the meson, the median carina 

 extremely short, no true lateral carinas but a short carina leading directly from the spiracle, 

 curved to caudal margin then reascending cephalo-laterad. Puniele joints all distinctly shorter 

 than the pedicel, 2 a little the largest, all somewhat wider than long. Club without a terminal 

 spine, ovate, somewhat longer than the funicle. 



From one female captured in forest, December 24, 1911. 

 Habitat: Double Island (mainland) near ('aims, Queensland. 



Type: No. HyS6S7, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the specimen on a tag, the head on a 

 slide. 



5. SELITRICHODELIA MESMERI new species. 



Female: — Length, 1 mm. Abdomen conic mate, longer than the thorax. 



Agrees with the description of trimaculosa but there is no dusky spot on the seutellum 

 and the spot at apex of each axilla is a little smaller. There is a minute black dot at the 

 extreme latei'o-caudal apex of the pronotum in both species. Mandibles tridentate. Propodeum 

 very short. 



From one female captured in forest. April 16, 1914 (A. P. Dodd). 



Habitat : Cloncurry, Queensland. 



Type: No. Hy 2638, Queensland .Museum. Brisbane, the specimen on a slide. 



Compared with types of trimaculosa. The propodeum is not dusky in mesmeri. 



Dedicated to Franz Anton Mesmer. 



6. SELITRICHODELIA TRANSVERSIFASCIATUS new species. 



Female: — Length, 1.45 mm. 



Like Tetrastichus Haliday but the club is solid and the scape eonvexly compressed 

 beneath as in many encyrtine genera but not really foliaceously dilated but rather broadly 

 compressed; two distinct, rather large ring-joints. Abdomen conic-ovate. Wings normal. 

 Mandibles tridentate. Propodeum hidden at the meson by the postscutellum, without lateral 

 carina). Median sulcus of scutum faint. 



Honey yellow, the wings hyaline, the venation dusky, the body marked with black as 

 follows: A crescent across the upper occiput but interrupted at the meson, a dusky marking 

 in front of lateral ocellus, one below insertion of antenna, a longish marking just meso-veutrad
