AUSTRALIAN HYMENOPTERA CHALCIDOIDEA, VII.—GIRAULT. 89 
ACHRYSOPOPHAGUS new genus. 
1. ACHRYSOPOPHAGUS OVIDUCTUS new species. (Genotype. 
Female :—Length, 1.25 mm., excluding the ovipositor which is extruded for a little over 
half the length of the abdomen. 
Orange yellow; face of pronotum centrally, scutum, propodeum, proximal margin of 
abdomen and its lateral margin along proximal half, metallic green. Tarsi, fore legs and distal 
half of middle tibiw, white, rest of legs blackish. Scape yellow, next three joints dusky, joints 
3-6 of funicle silvery white, the club black. Face between the scrobes lemon yellow. Fore 
wing hyaline, deeply sooty from the straight proximal border of discal ciliation (about half the 
length of the marginal vein distant proximad of that vein) distad to over half the distance 
to apex from the apex of venation, the apical margin of the infuscation highly, regularly convex. 
Oblique hairless line with about six rather dense lines of discal cilia proximad of it. Marginal 
vein thrice the length of the short stigmal, the postmarginal vein half the length of the stigmal. 
Distal margin of infumation of fore wing with a hyaline, naked path bordering it; from thence 
distad, the wing slightly infuscated. Ovipositor valves black at distal third, soiled white 
elsewhere. Thorax very finely scaly, the scutum with silvery white pubescence. Axille broadly 
separated mesad, no carina between them. Tuft of bristles on scutellum between center ‘and 
apex, distinct but scanty, divided into two small tufts. Mandibles with three equal, acute 
teeth. Serobes well developed, the face strongly inflexed ventrad. Head narrowed ventrad, 
distinetly longer than wide, the face convex, the frons rather narrow, a little over thrice the 
diameter of the cephalic ocellus. Scape long and slender; pedicel somewhat less than twice 
longer than wide at apex, much longer than any of the funicle joints which are short, 1 
subquadrate, 5 shortest, 3-6 somewhat wider than long; club large, 5-jointed, a little longer than 
the funicle. Hind tibial spur single. 
From two females caught by sweeping in forest, April 16, 1914 (A. P. Dodd). 
Habitat: Cloneurry, Queensland. 
Type: No. Hy 2993, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, two females on a tag; head, fore 
wing and a hind leg on a slide. ; 
In the second female, the tuft on scutellum was quite normal. The antennal club is 
distinctly compressed or flattened from the sides. Discally, on dorsal abdomen within proximal 
half, there is much metallic coppery narrowing proximad and joining the metallic green across 
base. 
2. ACHRYSOPOPHAGUS CLAVATUS new species. 
Female :—Length, 1 mm., excluding ovipositor which is extruded for half the length 
of the abdomen. 
Differs from the genotype in being somewhat smaller, in having the valves of the 
ovipositor wholly white, the scutum distinctly shorter, the pronotum metallic green mesad, 
the propodeum wholly yellow, the proximal half of the abdomen dorsad dark metallic green, 
the cox and femora except distal end of hind femur silvery white, the axille joined and with 
a carina between them, the head wholly yellow, also the face of pronotum. Legs orange yellow. 
Face in oviductus metallic just above the inflection. All funicle joints and apex of scape 
silvery white, pedicel and scape orange yellow, the former blackish above at base. Club black. 
Joints 2-4 of funicle shortest. The fore wings are a little narrower than in the genotype, the 
short, silvery pubescence, less conspicuous on scutum, more so on scutellum. Hind femur with 
a black stripe down it laterad from middle to apex and central (also in the genotype). Com- 
pared with type of oviductus. 
From one female caught in forest, June 10, 1914. 
Habitat: Gordonvale (Cairns), Queensland. 
Type: No. Hy 2994, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the specimen on a tag; head, fore 
wing and a hind tibia on a slide.
