AUSTRALIAN HYMENOPTERA CHALCIDOIDEA, VII—GIRAULT. 81 
38. AXNASIELLA AMPLIS new species. 
Female :—Length, 1.35 mm. exclusive of ovipositor which is extruded for a third the 
length of the abdomen. 
Same as apiomorphe but somewhat smaller, the ovipositor is distinctly but not longly 
extruded, the general coloration is dark metallic purple, the knees, tips of tibia and tarsi 
brownish; also funicle 1 is distinctly wider than long not a little longer than wide as in 
apiomorphe. The obscure thimble punctures are not evident on the face. All the funicle joints 
here are wider than long, 1 shorter than 2, whereas in apiomorphe joints 5-6 only are wider 
than long, 1-3 subequal, 4 a little longer than 3. Face less distinctly carinated between the 
antenne. 
The male antennze are black and Jess densely clothed, the hairs thinner and curled; 
funicle 1 smaller than the others, not as large as the pedicel which is as large as the other 
funicle joints and subglobular. Compared with types of apiomorphe. 
In this species the mandibles are more distinctly tridentate. 
Described from one male, five females labelled ‘‘17. Nat. Mus. Victoria. Bred from 
Apiomorpha pileata, North Melbourne.’’ 
Habitat: North Melbourne, Victoria. 
Types: In the National Museum, Melbourne, the specimens on a card. 
4. AANASIELLA PALLIDIPES new species. 
Female :—Length, 1.38 mm., the ovipositor just tipping the abdomen. 
Differs from the other species in having the legs pale yellow except coxw, a metallic spot 
just below knees on middle tibizw dorsad and one at same place on hind tibie, a longer one on 
hind tibia before tip (dorsad) and dorsal part of hind femur at distal half or more. Second 
tooth of mandible broadly truncate. Marginal vein punctiform. General color very dark green, 
blackish nearly, the antennze concolorous. Epistoma without a carina. Scattered thimble 
punctures less evident due probably to the back ground. Head dark metallic green. Funicle 
suffused with yellowish, only joint 6 being wider than long, the others quadrate or a little 
longer than wide. 
From one male, five females labelled ‘‘ 30. Nat. Mus. Victoria. Lilydale, May 27, ’09. 
M. Chapman.’’ Reared from leaf-hoppers. 
Habitat: Lilydale, Victoria. 
Types: In the National Museum, Melbourne, the above specimens on a ecard 
GENUS PSEUDENCYRTELLA Girault. 
1. PSEUDENCYRTELLA FASCIATA Girault. Female. Genotype. 
Length, 2 mm. 
Dark metallic purplish, the legs concolorous, the tarsi yellowish; fore wings with a 
fuscous stripe across them from the stigmal vein; antenns concolorous. Mesoscutum with fine 
scaly sculpture and dense pin punctures; the scutellum finer, with longitudinal lining, the 
axille meeting inwardly. Antenne inserted near the clypeus, filiform, the scape very long, 
extending far above the clypeus and more than half the length of the long slender flagellum, 
whose joints are all more than twice their width; pedicel about two and three quarter times 
longer than wide at apex, shorter than the first funicle joint; club not enlarged, 2-jointed, the 
funicle 7-jointed, no ring-joint. Head (cephalic aspect) narrow, longer than wide. Marginal 
vein scarcely longer than wide, the postmarginal shorter than the stigmal. Mandibles with the 
three teeth about equal. 
Habitat: Seottsdale, Tasmania. 
Type: I.1475, South Australian Museum, one female on a tag; hind leg and antenna 
on a slide. 
The genus differs from Pseudencyrtus Ashmead in having the elongate scape, the narrow 
head, the 2-jointed club and the punctate scutum.
