AUSTRALIAN HYMENOPTERA CHALCIDOIDEA, VII.—GIRAULT. 25 
proximal half. Legs otherwise reddish brown. Scutum with distinct but not dense silvery 
pubescence. Distal black of ovipositor shorter than the white but longer than proximal black. 
Also the antenne differ from those of boussingaulti in that the pedicel is subelongate, longer 
than any of the funicle joints (pedicel much shorter than funicle 2 in the other) while the 
longest funicle joint (3 or 4) is not as long as with that species. The ovipositor is extruded 
more, the middle white much longer. Resembles Hupelmus grayi Girault but somewhat more 
robust, grayi lacks most of the conspicuous pubescence on the thorax and has the middle femur 
concolorous, the hind tibia more broadly black and the fourth joint of maxillary palpus is 
longer. 
From two females, October, 1911 (H. Hacker). 
Habitat: Brisbane, Queensland. 
Type: No. Hy 2877, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, two females on separate tags; 
antenne and hind legs on a slide with type of boussingaulti. 
16. ANASTATUS ARISTOTELEA new species. 
Female :—Length, 2.30 mm. : 
Very similar to racinei but the scape is dark metallic like the rest of the antennew, the 
proximal margin of the second (distal) fuscous stripe is straight not forming a triangle as with 
the other species. Funicle 1 somewhat longer than 2 or 3 which are subequal and somewhat 
longer than the pedicel. Hind tibial spurs apparently as in pipunculi Perkins, from which 
this species differs in having the cross-band of hyaline very nearly as broad as the first fuscous 
eross-stripe (plainly not so as figured for that species; less so for racinei), the stigmal vein is 
shorter, the pedicel is longer and the base of the wing infuscated; moreover, the apex of the 
fore wing is clear. Postmarginal vein somewhat over twice the length of the stigmal. Segments 
of abdomen not excised at meson of caudal margin. Hyaline band of fore wing with its 
distal margin just missing base of the stigmal vein. Sculpture about as in racinei. Ring- 
joint wider than long. 
From one female caught by sweeping in forest, January 4, 1913. 
Habitat: Capeville (Pentland), Queensland. 
Type: No. Hy 2878, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the female on a tag; antenna, fore 
wing and a hind tibia on a slide. 
Several more females same place, September 22, 1914. A common species. 
“17, ANASTATUS BOMBAX new species. 
Female :—Length, 3.75 mm., excluding ovipositor which is extruded for a little less than 
a third of the length of abdomen and is brown-black at tip. 
Metallic purple, the propodeum green, the head brassy; fore wings hyaline but with oue 
moderately broad complete cross-stripe and an incomplete one, the latter broader, two thirds 
complete from most of postmarginal vein; hyaline stripe between them as broad as the second 
half-stripe, broader than the first stripe. Coxe and hind legs concolorous, rest reddish brown, 
the tarsi whitish. Scape reddish brown, rest of antenna black. Segments 2-5 of abdomen incised 
at meson of caudal margin, 5 only slightly, others not deeply. Cephalic ocellus just tipping 
apex of the triangular scrobicular cavity whose lateral margins are carinated. Body scaly, 
scutellum densely shagreened, center of scutum subglabrous. Cephalic femur wide. Venation 
narrow, the postmarginal vein twice the length of the normal stigmal. Middle tarsi with 
distinct black teeth ventrad. Hind tibial spur single. Funicle 1 wider than long, club obliquely 
truneate, funicle 2 nearly thrice longer than wide, somewhat longer than 3 which is subequal 
to the pedicel and next longest; funicles 7-8 subequal, somewhat wider than long. Scutellum 
declivous. Runs to racinei Girault but differs in lacking the silvery band of abdomen near 
base, in bearing the distinctly extruded ovipositor, the reddish cephalic legs, in having funicle
