AUSTRALIAN HYMENOPTERA CHALCIDOIDEA, VII.—GIRAULT. 45 
each side about half its own width from the eyes. Tip of club and a iongitudinal stripe up 
the expansion of the scape, pale. Pedicel wholly whitish, somewhat shorter than funicle 1 
which is longest, distinctly longer than wide, the distal funicle joints wider than long. Wings 
hyaline. 
From one female caught in forest, September 12, 1914. 
Habitat: Capeville (Pentland), Queensland. 
Type: No. Hy 2919, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the female in alcohol with type of 
Atoposoma unguttatipes Girault and other eulophids. 
SupraMity APHELININ A. 
This group is related to the Taneostigmine. The postmarginal vein is always absent, 
the middle tibial spur is rarely stout though often elongate, the femoral furrow is frequently 
present, the thoracic phragma never absent, the marginal vein most frequently as long as the 
submarginal, never punctiform and the parapsidal furrows are always distinct and straight. 
Also, the species are rarely metallic and the antennal funicle is never 6-jointed. 
Trine APHELININI. 
GENusS APHELINUS Dalman. 
Synonym: Perissopterus Howard. 
I have been unable to distinguish differences in the thorax of forms of either genus 
and one of the species described below connects the two as far as wing pattern is concerned. 
In Aphelinus the club appears solid or 2-jointed according to the species. In the species 
with the first two funicle joints transverse (e.g. fuscipennis Howard), the next joint seems 
to belong to the club but in those species with the funicle joints quadrate (more or less) the 
third joint from the pedicel seems a part of the funicle. The difference seems graduate. 
1. APHELINUS HAECKELI Girault. 
A female, forest, Gordonvale, Queensland, April 15, 1914. The thorax is without a 
median sulcus, scaly. The general color may be greenish yellow and the abdomen on distal 
half bears obscure dusky cuneate marginal spots. The ovipositor is not shortly extruded as 
in australiensis. Caudal wings with about six lines of discal cilia, about four lines in 
australiensis. Type re-examined. 
2. APHELINUS DIES Girault. 
Length, 1.30 mm. 
The type is on a slide and was captured by sweeping in March. 
3. APHELINUS AUSTRALIENSIS Girault. 
Length, 0.80 mm. 
Thorax with a narrow median grooved line. Mandibles tridentate. Marginal cilia at 
apex of fore wing very short. Pedicel much longer than proximal club joint, the latter about 
a third the length of distal one. Hind wings near tip with five lines of discal cilia. The type 
is on a slide and was captured June 14, 1912. 
4, APHELINUS FUSCIPENNIS Howard. 
One female, October 30, 1911 at Mossman, Queensland from foliage of a roadside plant. 
Is this really fuscipennis or a parallel or chance Australian species similar to that species?
