AUSTRALIAN HYMENOPTERA CHALCIDOIDEA, VII—GIRAULT. 49 
aspect arranged in a triangle, the apical one at tip, the basal two at lateral margin, one on 
each side just beyond proximal half (sometimes, if the segments are stretched, split 
transversely into two more or less rectangular spots) ; a small triangular spot at apex (cephalad) 
of each axilla, also jet black, as well as the cephalic margin of scutellum between the parapsidal 
furrow ends. Base of fore wing very slightly dusky and a curved, narrow black line down 
propodeum on each side near margin. Head and thorax finely reticulate. Mandibles tridentate. 
First funicle joint twice longer than wide; 2 and 3 distinctly shorter, not much longer than 
wide, 2 a little the longer; 3 subequal to pedicel; club distinct, ovate, without a terminal nipple, 
its joints wider than long. Funicle and club with closely applied, rather coarse hairs which 
arise at the base of each joint and extend its length (except first funicle joint where they 
arise farther distad). 
Described from five females reared in connection with a cecidomyiid gall on the stem of 
a young Eucalyptus corymbosa (bloodwood) but which was infested with unarmored coccids, 
November 13, 1913 (A. P. Dodd). 
Habitat: Northern Queensland (Gordonvale near Cairns). 
Types: No. Hy 2925, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, two females on a tag, one female 
and a head on a slide. 
6. COCCOPHAGUS SOPHIA new species of Girault and A. P. Dodd. 
Female:—Length, 0.50 mm. 
Golden yellow, the wings hyaline and closely allied with aureola Girault but the first 
funicle joint is not globular and distinctly shorter than the second but all three joints of the 
funicle are distinctly longer than wide and subequal, the pedicel slightly shorter than each. 
Also, the club is more slender and the abdomen is not dusky. The hind wings are very narrow, 
distinctly not as wide as the caudal marginal fringes of those wings (in aureola, nearly as 
wide at widest part as these fringes). 
Described from two females reared from an aleyrodid, November 9, 1911 (A. A. 
Girault). 
Habitat: Northern Queensland (Cairns). 
Types: No. Hy 2926, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the above specimens on a slide. 
7. COCCOPHAGUS AURICAPUT new species. 
Female :—Length, 0.68 mm. 
Orange yellow, the abdomen black, the legs lemon yellow except the dusky hind coxa- 
Antenne lemon yellow, the funicle joints increasing in length distad, 3 longest, nearly twice 
as long as wide, 1 subequal to the pedicel, distinctly longer than wide; club joints longer than 
wide, about subequal to funicle 2. Fore wings densely, finely ciliate, the stigmal vein short, 
sessile. Hind wings acutely pointed, with about eight lines of fine discal cilia where widest- 
Middle tibial spur long and slender. Mandibles bidentate, the second tooth broadly truncate. 
Wings hyaline. ~ 
From.one female taken in forest, January 4, 1912. 
Habitat: Capeville (Pentland), Queensland. 
Type: No. Hy 2927, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the specimen on a slide with that 
of Paruscanoidea dickensi. 
8. COCCOPHAGUS BOSWELLI new species. 
Female :—Length, 0.80 mm. 
Deep orange yellow, the scutellum lemon yellow, the abdomen and club jet black, the 
tore wing with a black cross-stripe from a little over the proximal half of the marginal vein, 
its distal margin oblique. Club whitish at extreme base and extreme tip; funicle 3 white. 
Valves of ovipositor shortly extruded. Funicle 3 a little the shortest, all nearly equal and
