AUSTRALIAN HYMENOPTERA CHALCIDOIDEA, VII—GIRAULT. 61 
2. ABLERUS PAN Girault. 
A female, forest, Capeville (Pentland), Queensland, January, 1913. The mandibles are 
tridentate. The third tooth obtuse and shorter. Type re-examined. 
3. ABLERUS SEMIFUSCIPENNIS (Girault). 
Length, 0.75 mm., excluding ovipositor which is extruded for a third the length of the 
abdomen. Pedicel black at base above, the scape dorsad; mandibles tridentate; longest 
marginal cilia of fore wing a little shorter than those of hind wing. Distal margin of wing 
fumation straight. The type is on a slide and was taken February 17, 1913. 
4. ABLERUS SPECIOSISSIMUS (Girault). 
Length, 1 mm., exclusive of ovipositor which is extruded for one fourth the length of 
abdomen. Mandibles and antenna as in semifuscipennis. The type was taken in forest,. 
January 27, 1913 and is on a slide. 
5. ABLERUS VENUSTULUS new species. 
Female :—Length, 0.85 mm. 
Running to speciosus but differing in having a distinct black stripe across fore wing 
from all (or nearly) of the marginal vein and the femora are black except at each end 
(cephalic femora all white in speciosus, the cephalic tibia and other femora and tibie with 
a distinet black band around them, rather broad, near knee); the tibiw# in this new species 
are white excepting just below knees. Also close to piceipes but the broad wing stripe in that 
species is faint, its first funicle joint is short yet longer than the second and the tibiw are 
black except at each end. Here, the first joint of funicle is longer yet somewhat shorter than 
the second which is longest; longest marginal fringes of fore wing somewhat over a fourth 
the greatest wing width. Mandibles 4-dentate, the inner tooth formed by an emargination of 
the apical margin of the third tooth. Valves of ovipositor conéolorous. 
Described from one specimen captured by sweeping in the forest, November 1, 1913. 
Habitat: Gordonvale (Cairns), Queensland. 
Type: No. Hy 2951, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the above specimen on a slide with 
a female of the following species. 
6. ABLERUS UNNOTIPENNIS new species. 
Female :—Length, 1.20 mm. 
Like speciosissimus but on the fore wing there is only a rather long wedge-shaped. 
spot somewhat caudad of apex of marginal vein and extending a little beyond the midlongi- 
tudinal line. Head white, metallic green below antenne (face). 
From one specimen captured with venustulus. 
Habitat: Gordonvale (Cairns), Queensland. 
Type: No. Hy 2952, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, a female on a slide with venustulus. 
7. ABLERUS PICEIPES Girault. 
Female :—Length, 0.50 mm. 
Very similar to poincarei Girault but differing in the following particulars: The mar- 
ginal fringes of the fore wing are longer (nearly two thirds the greatest width of the wing, 
\n poincaret plainly not much over a third), the fore wing is lightly dusky under all of the 
marginal vein, margin to margin, no oblique cross-stripe indicated; the first funicle joint is 
not much longer than wide though plainly longer than wide; the pedicel is shorter and also- 
the ovipositor.
