AUSTRALIAN HYMENOPTERA CHALCIDOIDEA, VII.—GIRAULT. 77 
1. SARANOTUM AUSTRALIZ Perkins. Female. Genotype. 
Length, 1.75 mm. 
Head dull, submetallic, the face below the antenne and the scape testaceous or 
ferruginous; scutum somewhat shining, eneous; scutellum yellow, the parapsides browner ; 
propodeum very smooth and shining, brassy; mesopleura purple, metapleura with white hairs. 
Legs brownish yellow or testaceous, the intermediate or caudai tibiw and the caudal femora 
piceous for the most part. Abdomen brassy at base, otherwise brown. Fore wing with a 
small proximal cloud and another over more than the distal half but the extreme tip and two 
minute, obscure spots (one at tip of marginal vein, the other nearly opposite) more or less 
hyaline. 
Habitat: Bundaberg, Queensland. Parasitic upon Pseudogonatopus. 
Type: Query. 
METALLONELLA new genus. 
1. METALLONELLA AUSTRALIENSIS new species. Genotype. 
Female :—Length, 0.80 mm. 
Wings fully developed, hyaline, the marginal vein punctiform, the stigmal short but 
distinct, the postmarginal absent; first tooth of mandible much shorter than the other two; 
antenne inserted at the mouth border, much as figured for Psyselledontus insidiosus Crawford 
but the club is 3-jointed, the antenne 10-jointed, no ring-joint. Copper coloured, the 
seutellum deep blue. Thorax and abdomen densely scaly reticulated. Axille just meeting 
inwardly. Abdomen short, triangular; tarsi yellow. Antenne dark fuscous, the tip of the 
scape, fifth or last funicle joint and much of club yellowish; pedicel longer than funicles 1-3 
united, long obconical, slender. 
Habitat: Brisbane, Queensland. Forest, April 26, 1913 (H. Hacker). 
Type: No. Hy 2972, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the female on a tag, the head on 
a slide. 
2, METALLONELLA LONGFELLOWI new species. 
Female :—Length, 0.50 mm. 
Dark metallic green, the wings hyaline, the antenne and legs (except hind coxwe) 
pale yellow. Thorax densely shagreened. Valves of ovipositor distinctly extruded for a sixth 
the length of the abdomen, the latter more or less brownish. Pedicel dark above, stout, as long 
as the next three joints combined, the first four funicle joints subequal, small, wider than long, 
like large ring-joints, but 5 is abruptly larger, subquadrate. Club a little longer than the 
funicle. Differs from australiensis in coloration, in having the ovipositor extruded, the mandi- 
bular teeth even, the pedicel not elongate, longer than wide but stout and the club a little longer 
than the funicle. The teeth of the mandibles are small in both species and both bear an oblique 
hairless line on the fore wing in the usual position. The head is wider in australiensis; the 
abdomen of the latter is a little longer than the thorax and acute at apex; also the scutum 
bears many short black hairs from very minute punctures; the stigmal vein is longer also, than 
in this new species, well developed and the fore wings larger. Compared with type of 
australiensis. 
Described from one female captured January 4, 1913 in the forest. 
Habitat: Capeville (Pentland), Queensland. 
Type: No. Hy 2973, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the specimen on a slide. 
Dedicated to Henry W. Longfellow. 
The frons is moderately narrow in both species and this character together with the fully 
developed wings and stronger body separates the genus from Metallon. Also, the body is not. 
very flat or depressed.
