AUSTRALIAN HYMENOPTERA CHALCIDOIDEA, VII.—GIRAULT. 23 
With the same striking coloration as Parooderella flavithoraz Girault and Dodd and the 
same as that species except that the wings are perfect, the ovipositor distinctly extruded, the 
scape swollen at base and dark metallic green along the proximal half, the rest of it, the pedicel 
and funicle 1 reddish yellow, funicles 2-5 silvery white; rest of antenna black; scape plainly 
obclavate. Also, the silvery white band around the base of abdomen occupies a third of the 
surface (a fourth in flavithorax; in both species within this band are two rather small eye-spots 
of metallic purple, one on each side of meson near base). A little over proximal third and the 
tip of ovipositor valves metallic purple, the long intervening part honey yellow. Pronotum 
cephalad with some purple. Funicle 1 a little longer than wide; 2 longest, somewhat over 
thrice longer than wide, 3 and 4 subequal, each slightly shorter than 2, each distinetly longer 
than the pedicel, 5 subequal to the pedicel, 8 a little longer than wide. Club distinctly much 
shorter than the scape. Hind coxe suffused with purple. Postmarginal vein slightly longer 
than the stigmal. Immediate base of fore wing and a rather broad cross-stripe from a little 
over proximal third of marginal vein brownish; a broader cross-stripe from distal fourth of 
marginal and all of submarginal, sooty black; the rather narrow hyaline band between the 
two cross-stripes crescentic; the second, black cross-stripe bulges convexly proximad and laterad. 
Marginal vein much longer than the submarginal. Hind coxa suffused with purplish. Caudal 
margins of segments 2-5 of abdomen incised at meson. Abdomen transversely scaly; scutellum 
and axille very finely longitudinally lined but at distal third the former transversely scaly ; 
seutum glabrous except the cephalic triangular portion which is densely scaly reticulate (this 
triangular portion is minute in flavithorax). Vertex with a broad purple stripe along the 
meson. Sides of occiput finely lined; face and vertex polished, lower face mesad of genal 
suture with scattered thimble punctures. Otherwise as in flavithorax. 
From one female taken by sweeping in jungle, March 1, 1914. 
Habitat: Gordonvale (Cairns), Queensland. 
Type: No. Hy 2871, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the specimen on a tag. 
11. ANASTATUS BENTHAMI new species. 
Female :—Length, 2 mm., excluding ovipositor which is extruded for somewhat less than 
a third the length of the abdomen. 
Like splendidus except that the middle of the ovipositor (extruded portion) is yellowish 
white, black at base and tip, the apical black the longer of the two. Avxille moderately widely 
separated. Abdomen with a scaly sculpture, the lateral ocelli far from the eyes. Second 
abdominal segment incised at caudal meson. Distal two funicle joints quadrate. Scutum with 
the same pubescence. Not compared. 
From two females labelled ‘‘ Brisbane, 10-8-13. H. Hacker’’ and one female labelled 
‘¢Brisbane, October, 1911. H. Hacker.’’ 
Habitat: Brisbane, Queensland. 
Type: No. Hy 2872, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the three females on tags (thre¢ 
pins). 
Also one female on a slide caught on flowers of Beckea, April 22, 1913, H. Hacker. 
12. ANASTATUS RACINEI new species. 
Female :—Length, 2.75 mm. 
Dark metallic green and agreeing with the description of blattidifurar but the scape 
rufous, the white apex of valves of ovipositor just extruded beyond tip of abdomen and the 
fore wing pattern differs in that the somewhat curved hyaline band from the marginal vein is 
distinctly (twice) broader, the apex much clearer, the apical subhyaline portion nearly as broad 
as the band from the marginal vein. The cephalic third of mesopleura is pubescent. Thorax 
densely finely scaly-punctate, the pronotum finely transversely lined, the propodeum and
