AUSTRALIAN HYMENOPTEBA CHALCIDOIDEA, YI.—GIRAULT. 333 



very finely transversely lineolated, segment 2 glabrous, segment 3 lineolated only cephalo- 

 laterad, 4 only later ad; similarly sculptured in grandis and in the genotype but less densely in 

 the latter; in all three segment 7 is as long as 2; in the genotype, segment 3 is only about 

 half the length of 4, in grandis only slightly shorter while in basalis 3 and 4 are subequal 

 and more transverse, each somewhat shorter than with grandis. In all three, the lateral 

 carinas are present, with a more or less distinct fovea just mesad of its origin; lateral carina 

 short, curved mesad around the fovea. Pedicel (in basalis) wholly black. Antenna? and 

 mandibles as in grandis. Segment 7 is pilose dorsad in all three species and all three bear 

 a short neck at apex of the conical propodeum. 



Described from one female caught in forest May 22, 1914. 



Habitat: Gordonvale (Cairns), Queensland. 



Type : No. Hy 2800, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the female on a tag with type of 

 grandis. 



4. EURYDINOTOMORPHA INCERTA new species. 



Same as pax but lacks the median carina (pax has the middle coxa lemon yellow), 

 the sculpture of the scutellum is denser but especially the parapsides which are scaly punctate, 

 rather coarsely scaly in pax; also the tibiae are white. Differs from fusciventris in having 

 the abdomen wholly dark metallic green, the general color of the thorax much more brassy. 

 From grandis in having the abdomen of uniform color and from basalis in that the abdomen 

 is wholly metallic, the tibiae and tarsi white, the caudal coxae metallic only laterad (wholly 

 metallic in basalis). In all the species there is a fold passing obliquely across caudad of 

 spiracle and joined to the short lateral carina. Hind tibiae reddish just below knees. The 

 middle coxae are like the legs. 



From one female caught in jungle, June 3, 1914 (A. P. Dodd). 



Habitat: Grafton (Clarence Eiver), New South Wales. 



Type: No. Hy 2801, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the specimen on a tag; hind tibiae 

 and head on a slide with slide type of Aplastomorpha 5-fasciata. 



The genotype measures 3 mm. and was captured October 28, 1911, by sweeping. Its 

 type is a female on a tag and a slide bearing the head and the hind legs. 3 



PSEUDOSPHEGIGASTEEUS new genus. 

 For diagnosis, see antea, p. 322. 



1. PSEUDOSPHEGIGASTERUS FLAVIPES new species of Girault and A. P. Dodd. 



Female: — Length, 1.90 mm. 



Like ameus Girault but the legs (including the coxae) are golden yellow, the antennal 

 scape golden yellow, pedicel and ring- joints brown, rest of antennae black; second funiele 

 joint a little shorter than first, the fifth longer than wide, not subquadrate. Abdominal 

 segments as in ceneus. Mandibles plainly 3- and 4-dentate. 



Described from one female caught by sweeping in jungle, November 13, 1913 (A. P. 

 Dodd). 



Habitat: Gordonvale and Harvey's Creek (Cairns), Queensland. 



Type : No. Hy 2802, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the specimen on a tag, the head 

 on a slide. Type locality Gordonvale. 



A second female was subsequently found labelled ' ' Sweeping in jungle, Harvey 's Creek, 

 near Cairns, November 15, 1913 (A. P. Dodd)."
