AUSTBALIAN HYMENOPTEBA CHALCIDOIDEA, IV.—GIBAULT. 277 



2. PSEUDIGLYPHUS SPADICIVENTRIS new species. 



Female: — Length, 1.30 mm. 



Differing from grotiusi Girault in having the abdomen chestnut brown, the median 

 carina of propodeum solid (in grotiusi of the same shape exactly ! ) and a broad depression 

 in the place of the lateral carina (apparently), in the center of which is the minute spiracle, 

 the propodeum apparently the same as in grotiusi. The ovipositor is barely exserted (so in 

 the genotype). The legs (except coxae) are white, washed slightly but distinctly with dusky, 

 the antennas white, the two funicle joints subequal (1 slightly longer than 2 which is quadrate) ; 

 scape and pedicel dusky. Mandibles tridentate. Abdomen not densely reticulated as in grotiusi, 

 the scalines less distinct. Compared with an authentic specimen of grotiusi and the two are 

 alike excepting the colorational differences in the abdomen and legs. 



From one female caught sweeping in forest, along mountain foothills, July 9, 1913 

 (A. P. Dodd). 



Habitat: Gordonvale (Cairns), Queensland. 



Type : No. Hy 2679, Queensland Museum, Brisbane. 



In this genus the scutum is short, the axillae much advanced, reaching a little over half 

 way to cephalic margin of scutum, the short, complete parapsidal furrows meeting them. 

 Mandibles 3-dentate. There appears to be a carina laterad and mesad of the spiracle, converging 

 caudad, forming an oblique V whose arms inclose the spiracle. 



Genus MESTOCHARELLA Girault. 



1. MESTOCHARELLA FERALIS Girault. 



Slender. Mandibles tridentate, the third tooth truncate. Club terminating in a little 

 spur. Postmarginal vein shorter than the stigmal. Funicles 1-3 longer than wide, cylindrical. 

 The type is on a tag, the head on a slide. Wings ample. Jungle, April 4, 1913. 



In antea, p. 264, line 4, Atoposomoidella channingi is a naked name. GyrolaseUa 

 channingi is referred to. 



Tribe EUPLECTRINI. 



Genus PACHYSCAPHA Howard. 



A male specimen with enormously dilated scape but otherwise like Euplectrus in every 

 detail was taken in jungle at Tweed Heads (Tweed River), New South Wales, May 3, 1914 

 (A. P. Dodd). The stigmal vein was distinctly shorter than the postmarginal. 



Genus EUPLECTRUS Westwood. 



Antea, p. 273, line 1, S-jointed should read solid. The mandibles are absent in this 

 genus and there are two ring-joints. The antennae are inserted ventrad of the middle of the 

 face, near the clypeus. The species described by Girault from Australia agree in these 

 particulars and the descriptions should be understood accordingly. 



1. EUPLECTRUS XANTHOCEPHALUS Girault. 



Antea, p. 274, line 3, one read two and 3- jointed read solid. 



Length, 2.10 mm. The type female is on a tag, the head on a slide. It was captured 

 April 15, 1912. 



2. EUPLECTRUS CAIRNSENSIS Girault. Female, male. 



Length, 2.15 mm. Male about the same. The types consist of a single pair on a tag. 

 'The female type was captured October 25, 1911 (Cairns), the male May 11, 1913 at Gordonvale. 

 A female at Kuranda, Queensland, jungle, May 14, 1913.
