AUSTRALIAN HYMENOPTERA CHALCIDOIDEA, VII.—GIRAULT. 11 
embrowned from the origin of the curve of the submarginal vein distad to apex, a darker brown 
spot under the stigmal vein and a faint, curved, rather narrow, subhyaline cross-stripe from 
apex of postmarginal vein; also deeper brown transversely from bend of submarginal vein. 
Postmarginal vein somewhat longer than the stigmal. 
Club obclavate; pedicel not long, a little longer than funicle 4 which is longest, some- 
what longer than wide; funicle 1 like a ring-joint, much wider than long, 2 a little longer 
than wide, over two and a half times longer than 1, 5-8 subquadrate; second club joint 
shortest, much wider than long. Hind tibial spurs double. Head and thorax densely 
shagreened, the metallic portion of scutum with silvery pubescence. Segment 2 of abdomen 
rather deeply incised at meson caudad, the next three segments only slightly so. Axille 
Separated a very short distance. Fore wings perfect: A silvery streak cephalad on mesothorax 
‘dorsad in lateral aspect. Teeth on middle tibiz not black. 
From two females caught in jungle, April 2, 1914. 
Habitat: Gordonvale (Cairns), Queensland. 
Type: No. Hy 2850, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, one a female on a tag; antenna, 
‘hind tibia and part of fore wing on a slide. 
In the second specimen, the dusky stripe across the silvery base of abdomen was 
divided along the meson by a narrow silvery space and the yellowish white portion of the 
-ovipositor was much shorter, less than two thirds the length of the black proximal portion 
(subequal to it in the type). 
28. EUPELMUS BABINDAENSIS new species. 
Female :—Length, 2 mm., excluding extruded portion of ovipositor which is as long 
as two thirds of the abdomen’s length. 
Dark metallic green, the wings lightly stained (yellowish) except near base. Scape, 
tarsi, tibiz, second coxe and femora and hind femora, yellowish brown; knees white, rest of 
legs concolorous. Cephalic tibia with a concolorous band just below knees, hind femora and 
tibiz a little dusky toward base. Abdomen at immediate base dorsad and at base of sides 
rather broadly, silvery white; somewhat over distal half of ovipositor yellowish white. Hind 
tibial spurs double, the smaller spur no longer than the apical setz but stouter. Mandibles 
tridentate, maxillary palpi black. Pedicel longer than any of the funicle joints of which 4 
is longest, four fifths the length of the pedicel, one and a third times longer than wide; 
funicle 1 quadrate, also 8 but the latter over twice the size of 1. Thorax scaly. Axille 
just separated at meson. Teeth on middle tibiw concolorous with the legs. 
From one female caught by sweeping jungle, February 11, 1914 (A. P. Dodd). 
Habitat: Babinda, Queensland. 
Type: No. Hy 2851, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the female on a tag; head and a 
‘hind tibia on a slide. 
29. EUPELMUS HOOKERI new species. 
Female :—Length, 4.50 mm., excluding ovipositor which is extruded for not quite a 
third of the length of the long abdomen. 
Dark metallic green, the abdomen and mesopleurum purple, the fore wings infuscated 
from the bend of the submarginal vein distad to apex; the infuscation deeper longitudinally 
a little cephalad of middle from base of marginal vein to apex of stigmal (forming a rather 
broad longitudinal stripe) and rather broadly across along its proximal margin. Postmarginal 
vein over twice the length of the stigmal. Legs concolorous except knees, tips of tibiw, tarsi 
and intermediate tibie which are reddish brown. ‘Tip of ovipositor white, also proximal tarsal 
joints of middle and hind legs, the proximal joint of the latter twice longer or nearly 
than the same joint of the middle legs. Ovipositor concolorous except at tip, the long, inter- 
mediate portion brownish black. Hind tibial spurs double, distinct. Hind tibia with a rather
