AUSTRALIAN HYMENOPTERA CHALCIDOIDEA, VII.—GIRAULT. 43 
furrows delicate and narrow but distinct, curved but not short. Scutellum short, simple. 
Abdomen depressed, oval, not quite as long as the thorax. Propodeal spiracle minute, round. 
Mesopleurum convex, entire. Fore wing without an oblique hairless line. Parapsidal furrows 
widely separated at scutellum. 
1. ATANEOSTIGMA PULCHRA Girault. Genotype. 
Male :—Length, 3 mm. 
Black, marked with bright lemon yellow as follows: All of scutellum except cephalic 
margin and a broad, sagittate area along the median line; a conspicuous wedge-shaped area 
on each side of the abdomen at proximal third, its apex mesad; the lateral margins of the 
seutum conspicuously and all of each parapside; the antennwe (honey yellow); all of head 
except most of the disc of vertex; and the legs, the distal tarsal joint dusky. Head and 
thorax polygonally reticulated. Wings hyaline. Types re-examined. 
Habitat: Brisbane, Queensland. 
Types: No. Hy 2913, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, two males on separate slides 
(remounted). 
EUPELMOMORPHA new genus. 
Female :—Antennz inserted below the middle of the face, 12-jointed with one very 
short but distinct transverse-linear ring-joint, the club 3-jointed; scrobes forming a triangle. 
Face not inflexed. Parapsidal furrows delicate, curved off laterally, converging distad and 
barely separated at the scutellum (at their extreme apex). Axille barely separated. Marginal 
vein short,-about a fourth the length of the submarginal, about four times longer than wide 
and somewhat longer than the stigmal which is rather short and curved; oblique hairless line 
present. Mandibles tridentate, the middle tooth longest. Hind tibial spur single. Post- 
marginal vein absent. The male antenne bear four long branches. 
Differs from Miscogasteromorpha in lacking the postmarginal vein, the short marginal 
vein and the single ring-joint which is very short. 
1, EUPELMOMORPHA QUADRICOLOR new species. 
Female :—Length, 1.60 mm. 
Reddish yellow, the propodeum, head, a rather large subtriangular spot in center of 
seutum at cephalic margin or leading from cephalic margin conically to scutellum, its apex 
subacute and a marginal stripe down the abdomen from base nearly to apex (lateral aspect) 
dark metallic purple. Abdomen sulphur yellow. Legs reddish yellow. Wings hyaline. Distal 
half of scape (excluding bulla) and of pedicel silvery white. Scape long, slender and curved; 
pedicel a little shorter than funicle 6, which is distinctly longer than wide and longer than 
any of the club joints. Funicles 2-3 subequal, nearly thrice longer than wide, 1 and 4 subequal, 
each slightly shorter than 2 and 3, 5 shorter and thicker, a little shorter than 6. Club shorter 
than the scape, somewhat wider than the funicle. Head finely scaly reticulate, the thorax 
similarly sculptured, the green area of scutum with fine whitish hairs; this long cuneate area 
is green instead of purple. Normal for the family and resembling a species of Hupelmus 
except that the ovipositor is not exserted and the abdomen is more depressed. 
Described from two females taken by sweeping in the forest, August 13, 1913. 
Habitat: Gordonvale (Cairns), Queensland. 
Types: No. Hy 2914, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the females on a tag, the heads 
on a slide. 
2. EUPELMOMORPHA TRICOLOR new species. 
Female :—Length, 1.60 mm. 
The same as the preceding but the whole thorax and cephalic femora are dark metallic 
purple. Scutellum very finely longitudinally striate in both species. Only the distal third of 
scape white. Scutum green. 
From one female captured January 1, 1913 by sweeping in forest (A. P. Dodd).
