AUSTRALIAN HYMENOPTEBA CHALCIDOIDEA, IF.—GIBAULT. 291 



7. GROTIUSELLA HYATTI new species. 



Female: — Length, 1.15 mm. 



Agrees with the description of tlioreauini, except as follows: The caudal tibise dorsad 

 are all black except at tip, the caudal femora are all black and the middle femur is dusky; 

 the face bears a stripe down each side along the eyes, broken just ventrad of middle and 

 again near the end of the eye; this stripe curves around onto the cheek; the scrobes are dark 

 metallic green to vertex: the antennae are black, proximal half of scape white, its distal half 

 dusky; the mandibles are about 7-dentate; the caudal margin only of pronotum is yellow; 

 other yellow markings the same but base of mesopostscutellum is not yellow (nor so in 

 tlioreauini), the first stripe of abdomen is narrowly interrupted at meson and the central 

 complete cross-stripe is absent (stripe 4 from base — six stripes in all, seven in the other species; 

 of the six all interrupted at meson except the last) ; the second stripe (interrupted at meson) 

 is thin; there is a dot of yellow distad of stripe 6, on each side of immediate apex. The 

 propodeum is wholly scaly. Funicle 1 is subequal to the pedicel. Otherwise as in the species 

 named. Compared with type of tlioreauini. 



From one female captured on sand-ridges near coast, forest, May 13, 1914 (A. P. Dodd). 



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



Type: No. Hy2707, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the specimen on a tag; head and 

 caudal tibia? on a slide. 



Dedicated to Alpheus Hyatt. 



8. GROTIUSELLA CAVENDISHI new species. 

 Female: — Length, 1 mm. 



Differs from the genotype in that the pronotum is wholly concolorous, the yellow bordering 

 of the scutellum encroaches upon the cephalic margin but is separated rather broadly at the 

 meson, the fore wings bear a distinct substigmal spot and the ventral third of the face is bright 

 lemon yellow, crossed by two metallic green stripes, the ventral one through the antennal 

 insertions. Also the funicle joints are all distinctly wider than long, the flagellum subcompressed 

 and the mandibles are about 10-dentate. Femora black, the tibia? so just below the knees. 

 Antenna? black except proximal half of the short scape. Vertex with a yellow line across 

 cephalic margin, the line interrupted at the meson. Facial margins of eyes more or less 

 yellowish. Caudal tibia? black except at tip. 



From one female captured sweeping foliage and grass in a swamp, May 14, 1914 

 (A. P. Dodd). 



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



Type : No. Hy 2708, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the specimen on a tag ; head and 

 caudal tibia? on a slide. 



NOTANISOMOEPHELLA new genus. 

 1. NOTANISOMORPHELLA PROSERPINENSIS (Girault). Genotype. 

 Asympiesiella proserpinensis ; N otairisomorpliella australiensis, nomen nudum. 



Antea, p. 287. Length, 2.10 mm. Second club joint terminating in a nipple which bears 

 a short stout spine at apex. Pedicel shorter than any of the funicle joints. First club joint 

 as long as the distal funicle joint. Scape long, slender. The original female was taken at 

 Gordonvale, jungle pocket, May 15, 1913 (A. P. Dodd). A second female of the same date 

 at Kuranda. The lateral line of fovea leads directly from the spiracle. Type re-examined. 26 



26 No lateral carina on propodeum.
