AUSTRALIAN HYMENOPTERA CHALCIDOIDEA, VII.—GIRAULT. 71 
posterior wings; stigmal vein forming a regular concave curve with the inner edge of the 
marginal vein at its apex, but the curve is not as deep as usual. Posterior wings moderately 
broad, subequal in greatest width to their longest marginal cilia or slightly more or Jess than 
subequal. Antennal club long and moderately stout, spindle-shaped, slightly over four times 
longer than its greatest width which is near its middle, with no regularly grouped or prominent 
longitudinal sulci.’’ 
Habitat: Gordonvale (Cairns), Queensland. Two males, December 4 and 21, 1911. 
Type: No. Hy 773, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, one male on a slide. 
A female at Mackay, Queensland, October 19, 1911, and one at Gordonvale (Cairns), 
January, 1912. In the latter all the femora were dark. 
7. SIGNIPHORA RECTRIX new species. Female. 
Length, 0.54 mm. Like aspidioti Ashmead but the antennal club wholly dusky, the 
cephalie two thirds of scutum dusky while the abdomen at proximal half is only obscurely 
dusky, hardly noticeably so, not conspicuously as in aspidioti. Also, the fore wings are 
somewhat narrower, the longest marginal cilia slightly longer than the wing where widest. 
Legs concolorous. Discal bristle absent. 
Habitat: Kuranda, Queensland. Forest. 
Type: No. Hy 2966, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the female on a slide. 
8. SIGNIPHORA PERPAUCA new species. Female. 
Length, 0.69 mm. 
Differs from flavella Girault in having the pedicel long and slender, about four times 
longer than wide at tip and from flava Girault in having only the abdomen suffused with 
orange or pinkish, the club pallid, distinctly capped with dusky; and from both in having 
the cephalic fourth of the scutum dusky black, the fore wings only light brown and solely so 
under the marginal vein. Discal bristle absent. 
Habitat: Seymour (Ingham), Queensland. Forest, February 20. 
Type: No. Hy 2967, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the female on a slide. 
9. SIGNIPHORA THUSANOIDES new species. Female. 
Length, 0.95 mm. 
Like dactylopii Ashmead but the fuscous stripe across the fore wing is farther distad, 
nearly half way between apex of venation and apex of blade but a little proximad of half way. 
Marginal cilia around apex of fore wing a little shorter than the stigmal vein. Proximal 
joint of hind tarsus a little shorter than the same joint of intermediate tarsus (the two equal in 
dactylopii). Cephalic tibiz pale yellowish. Mesonotum finely transversely lined. The stripe 
across the fore wing is rather broad, its lateral margins broken. Discal bristle absent. Hind 
wings very broad, over half the width of the fore wings. Mandibles bidentate. Four ring- 
joints. Club thrice longer than broad. 
Habitat: Gordonvale (Cairns), Queensland. “Forest, December 2, 1913. 
Type: No. Hy 2968, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, one female on a slide. 
10. SIGNIPHORA BEETHOVENTI new species. 
Female:—Length, 1.10 mm. Rather robust. 
Dark metallic green, the four proximal tarsal joints pale yellow. In my table of the 
earth’s species (Girault, 1913) runs to maxima Girault from which it differs in that the fore 
wing bears a distinct smoky cross-stripe from whole of the marginal and stigmal veins, otherwise 
hyaline. The distal margin of this cross-stripe is more or less obscurely but deeply incised 
at middle and at the proximal margin at caudal half a hyaline indentation of rectangular 
shape (longer than wide cephalo-caudad). Marginal cilia at apex of fore wing not quite twice
