AUSTEALIAN HYMEN OPTEEA CEALCID01DEA, T.—GIRAULT. 3U7 



■whole incision following segment 4 and the tip of abdomen; the yellow on the head also nearly 

 lemon yellow. Legs dark lemon yellow, including the coxse, the tarsi distad more or less fuscous. 

 Venation smoky black. Pedicel more or less dusky. Ring-joints enlarging distad; first and 

 second funicle joints subequal, longest of the funicle. 



Habitat: Brisbane, Queensland. Reared from galls, forest, June, July. 



Types: No. Hy 1204, Queensland Museum, Brisbane. 



CCELOCYBELLOIDES new genus. 



Differs from Epiperilampus in having the marginal vein linear and distinctly more than 

 twice longer than wide; Epiperilampus bears a thickened, short marginal vein which is about 

 twice longer than wide. Axillse are barely separated. Two normal ring-joints. Male abdomen 

 slenderer and more depressed. 



1. CCELOCYBELLOIDES AUREUS new species. Female. Genotype. 

 Length, 2 mm. 



Orange yellow, the abdomen with four transverse brownish stripes across the middle 

 close together; face, scape and legs lemon yellow; a small black triangle centrally at base of 

 abdomen; center of occiput, dorsal sutures of thorax, a spot at distal end of each parapside 

 and the venation black. Wings hyaline; flagellum dusky yellow; metathorax on each side of 

 apex of scutellum black. A fifth abdominal cross-stripe near tip but faint. Sometimes proximal 

 two thirds of median line of scutellum narrowly black. Hind coxa with a black marking. 

 Mandibles bidentate. Funicle 1 not as wide as 2. 



In the male the cross-stripes on abdomen are more or less conflueut; face of pronotuin, 

 a large, subquadrate area on cephalic scutum, a little less than distal half of scutellum (except 

 at extreme apex) and its median line, a short median line at apex of scutum (distad), lateral 

 portions of each axilla except at margins and the proj^odeum black. 



Habitat: Port Darwin, Northern Territory. From galls on Eucalyptus mineata (S-6-1913 

 of G. F. Hill). 



Types: No. Hy2756, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, a pair, each on a tag; female heads 

 and legs on a slide. 



2. C(ELOCYBELLOIDES PULCHRIVARIEGATUS new species. 

 Female: — Length, 2.25 mm. 



Orange yellow, the pronotnm, cheeks, legs and base of abdomen rather broadly lemon 

 yellow. The following parts black: Occiput, face of pronotuin, scutum except lateral margins, 

 part between axillae, a diamond-shaped spot center of each axilla from cephalic margin, a bell- 

 shaped area filling all discal part of scutellum, thoracic sutures, propodeum. a small acute 

 wedge-shaped spot at immediate base of abdomen at meson, venation and five cross-stripes on 

 abdomen, the first four curved cephalad at lateral margin, 2-4 eonvexly swollen centrally along- 

 cephalic margin (2 more so, 4 quadrately so, all joined broadly at meson) ; fifth stripe smallest. 

 also swollen cephalad at meson but separated from the others. Mesoventer black. Stigmal knob 

 round, the vein subequal to the postmarginal. A short carina between the axilla) which are 

 slightly separated. Hind tibial spurs double. Funicle joints all much wider than long, much 

 shorter than the pedicel. Mandibles bidentate, the second tooth broad. Funicle 6 shortest, 

 somewhat over twice wider than long. A faint dusky stripe from each lateral ocellus down the 

 face along each eye nearly to middle of face. Each ocellus in a round black spot. Body densely 

 scaly. Dorso-lateral margin of scape and each femur above proximad, dusky. Hind coxa black 

 above.
