76 MEMOIRS OF THE QUEENSLAND MUSEUM. 
1. ECHTHROGONATOPUS EXITIOSUS Perkins. Female; male. Genotype. 
Length, 0.87 mm. 
Head with greenish or other metallic lustre, the front microscopically sculptured, rougher 
about the ocelli and with traces of larger, shallow punctures. Antenne black, the club wide, 
flattened, subequal to the funicle. Scutum somewhat shining neous in some aspects, finely 
punctate. Scutellum black, dull but the extreme apex conspicuously metallic; mesopleura 
purplish black. Abdomen shining brassy, coppery or purplish metallic at the base, black distad. 
Legs pale yellowish. Funicle 6 largest, wider than long, 1 a little longer than wide, 2 and 3 
subquadrate, 4-6 enlarging. 
Male scape pale; furicle 6 longest, 4 and 5 subequal, slightiy shorter than 6, distinctly 
longer than 1. Funicle bearing long hairs directed cephalad. 
Habitat: Brisbane, Bundaberg and Cairns, Queensland. Parasitic on Gonatopus and 
_ allied genera. 
Type: Query. 
Genus CHALCERINYS Perkins. 
Differs froni Echthrogonatopus Perkins in the metallic scutellum which is sculptured 
nearly like the scutum. Marginal vein somewhat longer than wide, the stigmal a little longer 
than it, the postmarginal hardly developed. The front between the eyes is wider than is the 
case with the genus named. Differs principally from Hchthrogonatopus in the relative lengths 
of the marginal and stigmal veins. Axille slightly separated, the eyes sparsely hairy. 
The male has the first funicle joint longest, much longer than the pedicel, joint 6 next 
longest to 1; the club solid. Also, the eyes are very widely separated. 
1. CHALCERINYS EXIMIA Perkins. Female; male. Genotype. 
Length, 0.75-1 mm. 
Metallic green, in places yellowish-brassy, the mesopleura and abdomen black, at most 
slightly metallic, the antennz testaceous, more or less sordid, the legs yellow except tips of tarsi. 
Head densely and minutely sculptured and with evident traces of larger, very feeble punctures. 
Caudal ocelli nearer to the eye margins than to one another. Thorax with very dense, minute 
sculpture, the scutum and scutellum with similar and inconspicuous pale pubescence, the seutellum 
smoother and more shining apically. Abdomen subtriangular, depressed. 
The male is the same but the antenne are long, the scape and funicle 1 distinctly 
marked with black, the club slender and elongate, dark or largely so. 
Habitat: New South Wales—Sydney; Queensland—Childers and Bundaberg. Parasitic 
upon Gonatopus or an ally. 
Type: Query. 
GeNus SARANOTUM Perkins. 
Rather slender and elongate; head (cephalic aspect) subelongate, the eyes moderate in 
size and diverging apically, the front with dense, microscopic sculpture and sometimes also 
with very faint punctures. Ocelli in an isosceles triangle, the caudal ones near the eyes 
and nearer to each other than to the cephalic one. Antenne gradualiy clavate, the scape simple, 
elongate, the proximal joints of funicle much narrower than the distal ones, the club small, 
the pedicel shorter than funicle 1. Maxillary palpi with a very long distal joint which is 
subequal to the other three united. Labial palpi short, the middle joint extremely short. 
Scutum with appressed, white pubescence, the scutellum with an erect tuft of bristles. Wings 
infuscated at distal half or more, the submarginal vein much decurved before reaching the 
marginal, the latter long, the stigmal rather short, the postmarginal little developed. Proximal 
third of fore wing nearly naked; oblique hairless line present. Caudal legs long, slender. 
Abdomen rather elongate, depressed, the ovipositor barely extruded. 
The male is not known. 
Apparently allied with Cheiloneurus Westwood differing in the longer head, the elongate 
form and the solid club. Compare Husemionella.
