AUSTRALIAN HYMENOPTERA CHALCIDOIDEA, VII.—GIRAULT. 21 
a 6. ANASTATUS FREDERICI new species. 
Female :—Length, 3 mm., excluding ovipositor which is extruded for a little over a fourth 
the length of the abdomen. 
Somewhat like Hupelmus hookeri but somewhat smaller, the valves of the ovipositor 
shorter, dusky at tip, black at proximal third, the rest white; the scape is reddish brown; the 
abdomen is shorter; the postmarginal vein is much shorter, subequal to the stigmal; the middle 
tibia is a little purplish just below knee; the distal third of caudal tibia is yellowish white; 
the funicle joints are shorter and the infuscation of the fore wing differs in that the longitudinal 
deeper infuscation is less distinct. Hind tibial spur single. Funicle 1 quadrate, 2 longest, a 
little over thrice longer than wide at base, 3 a little shorter than 2, 4 still shorter, somewhat 
longer than wide, 6 quadrate, 7 and 8 subequal, each a little wider than long. Pedicel somewhat 
shorter than funicle 2. Segments 2-5 of abdomen incised at meson of caudal margin but 
obtusely so and not very deeply. Head and body finely scaly, the seutum rather coarsely so 
(coarser than in hookeri); scutellum scaly, not striate as in hookeri. Compared with type of 
hookeri. Axille separated but not widely so. Frons broad. 
_ From one female taken in forest, May 8, 1914. 
Habitat: Gordonvale (Cairns), Queensland. 
Type: No. Hy 2867, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the specimen on a tag 
Also one female same place, April 27, 1914. 
7. ANASTATUS PENTATOMIDIVORA new species. 
Female :—Length, 2.95 mm. 
Dark metallic purple, the scape rufous, the antennz otherwise and the legs concolorous. 
Fore wings sooty from the curve of the submarginal vein distad to end of postmarginal vein, 
the sooty part bearing two oblique eye-spots, the cephalic one against marginal vein a little 
beyond its middle, the caudal and opposite one from the caudal margin, both elliptical in shape. 
Abdomen depressed, narrowed toward base, the caudal margins of segments 2-5 incised at 
meson, the incision deepest on 2 but not very large. Front femur distinctly swollen; middle 
tibizw with strong black teeth. Antenne 13-jointed, the ring-joint large, funicle 1 longest, over 
two and a half times longer than wide, 2 a fourth or more shorter, 3 subequal to 2 but a little 
wider, next joints wider and shorter, the last two funicle joints wider than long; funicle 4 
subequal to the pedicel. Club short. Hind tibial spurs double, very unequal, one long, the 
other very short. Antenne inserted about on a level with the eyes. Head shagreened, the eyes 
naked, the lateral ocelli not touching the eyes. A large triangular portion of scutum from 
meson of cephalic margin (apex caudad) and the scutellum, densely, rather finely punctate; 
rest of scutum shining but really extraordinarily finely lined. Abdomen very finely scaly. Tip 
of ovipositor whitish, not exserted. 
From three females reared from pentatomid eggs, forest, December, 1913 (A. P. Dodd). 
Habitat: Gordonvale (Cairns), Queensland. 
Types: No. Hy 2868, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, three females on a tag; legs and 
antenna on a Slide. 
A female was taken in April, type habitat. 
A. ANASTATUS NONEXCISUS new variety (of pentatomidivora). 
Female :—Like the typical form, the fore wings hyaline rather broadly around the apex 
but only the caudal margin of segment 2 of abdomen is incised at meson, This margin is white 
in both. 
From one female taken in forest in December. 
Habitat: Gordonvale (Cairns), Queensland. :
