AUSTRALIAN HYMENOPTERA CHALCIDOIDEA, VII—GIRAULT. 53 
17. COCCOPHAGUS PERPULCHELLUS new species. 
Female :—Length, 0.80 mm. 
Brilliant lemon or greenish yellow, the fore wings with a jet black stripe across them 
under all of marginal vein and smoky under proximal two thirds of submarginal vein; legs 
silvery white, the antennz silvery tinged with yellow, the first two club joints jet black. Abdo- 
men, metapleura, propodeum except broadly at meson and pronotum, jet black, the incisions of 
abdomen showing a little as white. Immediate tip of abdomen and the tip of the valves of 
the ovipositor, white. Antenne filiform but the club distinct, shorter than the funicle whose 
three joints are thrice or more longer than wide, 1 a little the shortest. Pedicel subglobular, 
much shorter than funicle 1. Club joints a little wider, distinctly longer than wide. Scutellum 
apparently with a thin median grooved line. Hind wings acute. Ovipositor inserted at distal 
third. One ring-joint. 
From one female caught in forest, April 28, 1914. 
Habitat: Gordonvale (Cairns), Queensland. 
Type: No. Hy 2937, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the female on a slide. 
18. COCCOPHAGUS ABNORMICORNIS new species. 
Female :—Length, 0.70 mm. 
Purplish black; head (except much of occiput), seutum (except cephalad rather 
broadly along meson at cephalic half), parapsides and scutellum (except a large round spot 
on each side at caudal margin) honey yellow; centrally, scutum orange yellow. Knees, tibize 
except just below knees, tarsi and propodeum laterally, also honey yellow. Antenne brownish, 
the flagellum tapering; pedicel subequal to funicle 2; funicle 1 abruptly short, wider than long, 
2 over twice its length, 3 longest, subequal to 1 and 2 of the club, each of these three joints 
twice (or more) longer than wide, club 2 narrower; distal club joint narrow, subequal 
to funicle 2; club not differentiated. Marginal vein distinctly shorter than the submarginal, 
the stigmal short but with a distinct neck; marginal fringes of fore wing a little longer than 
usual; a more or less obscure brownish cross-stripe from the whole of the marginal vein. 
Hind femur compressed. Mandibles bidentate, the second tooth followed by a truncation 
(or broadly truneate, its lateral apical angle acute). | Mesopleurum entire, small. Thorax 
finely scaly. Abdomen truncate behind. 
From one female caught in forest, August 22, 1912. 
Habitat: Gordonyale (Cairns), Queensland. 
Type: No. Hy 2938, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the female on a tag; head, fore 
wing and hind leg on a slide. 
19. COCCOPHAGUS SINGULARIS new species. 
Female :—Exactly similar to the preceding but the legs are all silvery white, the occiput 
bears only a faint, narrow eross-stripe centrally, the two caudal spots on scutellum are longer 
and closer together (the yellow space between them is narrow, this median line distinctly 
much less than half the width of one of the spots; in abnormicornis, the two spots more round 
and the mesal space between them is distinctly more than half the width of one of the spots). 
Marginal vein black, rest of venation pale. 
From one female caught in forest, March 31, 1914. 
Habitat: Gordonvale (Cairns), Queensland. 
Type: No. Hy 2939, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the specimen on a slide.

Funicle 1 in the male is longer than in the female. Antea, p. 189, line 5 of the
