AUSTRALIAN HYMENOPTERA CHALCIDOIDEA, VII.—GIRAULT. 65 
wide; 3 subquadrate, subequal to the pedicel; distal club joint with a nipple-like end due to 
termination of the vestiture before tip. Body finely reticulated. Hind wings broad, with 
about a dozen lines of fine, uniform discal cilia. 
Male :—The same but the wings hyaline, the pedicel globular, the joints of the flagellum 
longer. 
Described from two males, seven females, received from Mr. G. F. Hill, Government 
Entomologist, Northern Territory, and labelled ‘‘ No. 15. Bred from unidentified coccid. 
18-viii-13.’’ 
Habitat: Northern Territory (Port Darwin). 
Types: No. Hy 2960, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, two males, one female on a slide 
with miscellaneous fragments and five females together on a tag. 
Several females, type locality, October 10, 1913 and two males, three females reared 
from coccids on custard apple, Stapleton, N.T., February 4, 1913 (G. F. Hill). A common 
species. 
2. ANERISTUS DIABOLICUS new species. 
Of the same appearance and stature as fumosipennis but differing in the spot on the 
fore wing which is shorter, its proximal margin straight (not oblique as in the other species), 
its conical projection distad shorter, a flat convexity rather than a truncated cone and the 
spot is therefore a little wider than long rather than somewhat wider than long. Also the 
scape and cephalic knees and tibia are white and all of middle tibiw except slightly just distad 
of knee (in fumosipennis, the proximal half of middle tibia is black). Finally, funicle 1 is 
barely longer than wide, 2 and 3 somewhat wider than long. Compared with types of fwmosi- 
pennis. 
From one female caught by sweeping at Halifax, April, 1914 (A. P. Dodd). 
Habitat: Halifax (Ingham), Queensland. 
Type: No. Hy 2961, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the female on a slide. 
TRIBE PTEROPTRICINI. 
APTEROPTRIX new genus. 
Differs from Archenomus Howard in that the club is 3-jointed, the first and second 
funicle joints are not ring-like and the marginal cilia of the fore wing are long. 
1. APTEROPTRIX ALBIFEMUR new species. Female. Genotype. 
Differs from the second species in that the legs are white except the coxw and the hind 
femur above at middle, there is no hairless line back from the venation, the wing is less distinctly 
infuscated caudad of the venation and the mandibles are bidentate. Funicle 1 and 2 sub- 
equal, somewhat longer than wide, 3 slightly longer and subequal to the pedicel. Club well 
defined. Club joints each longer than the pedicel. A naked space distad of venation in both 
species. 
Described from one female captured by sweeping in forest. 
Habitat: Gordonvale (Cairns), Queensland. 
Type: No. Hy 2962, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the female on a slide. 
2, APTEROPTRIX NIGRA (Girault). 
Casca nigra Girault. Antea, p. 198, line 2 following the description the words the male 
of Casca agrees with the female of Archenomus should be omitted. The female antennz were 
erroneously described, there being three funicle joints of which 2 is intermediate between 1 
and 3, the latter longest, a little longer than wide. The club is distinetly 3-jointed. Type 
re-examined.
