AUSTRALIAN HYMENOPTERA CHALCIDOIDEA, VII.—GIRAULT. 37 
2, PAROODERELLA HEMIPTERA (Girault). Female. Genotype of Parasolindenia Girault. 
Length, 3.50 mm. 
Head and abdomen dark metallic green, the thorax reddish, the legs concolorous with it; 
a white band across base of abdomen; proximal half of antenna yellowish white (scape, 
pedicel, ring-joint and first three funicle joints, 3 suffused with dusky), the rest black. Fore 
wings fuscous and hispid from base of marginal vein to apex but interrupted more than half 
way to the apex by a central, triangular naked and hyaline spot, which extends nearly to 
margins from opposite sides. Funicle 1 longest but yet subequal to 3, the following shortening, 
the club shorter than scape. Head with a scaly sculpture and also the thorax and abdomen but 
less rough. Posterior wings hyaline. Marginal vein long, rather broad, the stigmal very short, 
the postmarginal nearly absent. Fore wing densely hispid except in places. 
Habitat: Cairns, Queensland. 
Type: No. I. 1275, South Australian Museum, Adelaide. 
3. PAROODERELLA MANCA new species. 
Female :—Length, 2.50 mm., exclusive of ovipositor which is extruded for a length equal 
to a fourth that of the abdomen. 
Mahogany brown, wingless, the head and ecphalic cox dark metallic purple, the abdomen 
lustrous black, also the hind legs; legs otherwise brown (including caudal tarsi) washed with 
a little metallic purple. Scape brown; rest of antenna black. Valves of ovipositor brownish, 
darker at base. Thorax washed here and there with metallic purplish. A broad silvery band 
around abdomen just out from base. Wings scale-like, not twice longer than wide, brownish, 
distad truncate, without marginal cilia and only with a submarginal vein which runs to apex; 
wings not reaching abdomen, their discal ciliation confined to apex. Funicle 1 like a ring-joint, 
2 longest, nearly twice longer than wide, 3 somewhat shorter, a little longer than the pedicel; 
others shortening and broadening, 5 and 6 subquadrate, 8 distinctly wider than long. Hind 
tibial spur single. Mesonotal ridges acute. Eyes nearly bare. Seutum with a median carina. 
Head and thorax subglabrous, the seutellum longitudinally lineolated. Segments 2 and 3 of 
abdomen obtusely incised at meson caudad, the caudal margins of the other segments straight, 
caudad of segment 3, the surface scaly. Avxille distinctly separated a short distance, longest 
cephalo-caudad. 
From one female taken May 19, 1914 by sweeping forest. 
Habitat: Gordonvale (Cairns), Queensland. 
Type: No. Hy 2899, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the specimen on a tag; caudal leg, 
antenna and a wing on a slide. 
4. PAROODERELLA SEMIPUTATA new species. 
Similar in all respects to manca but the valves of the ovipositor are white, dark at 
extreme tip and base, the thorax and legs are wholly metallic purple, the band over base of 
abdomen is obscure or absent, the frons is broader (in manca moderately narrow), the pedicel 
is somewhat longer, subequal to funicle 2 which is subequal to 3 and 4, the seutum lacks the 
median carina (in both species the lateral ridges of scutum are sharp carine), the head is 
plainly scaly, the mesopleurum more coarsely longitudinally lined. Wings apparently the same 
but hyaline. Caudal margins of abdominal segments not seen. Tarsi white. Abdomen scaly. 
Scape dusky at tip dorsad. 
From one female taken by sweeping jungle along a forest streamlet, June 29, 1913. 
Habitat: Gordonvale (Cairns), Queensland. 
Type: No. Hy 2900, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the female on a tag with type 
manca; portion of antenna on slide with type manca.
