AUSTRALIAN HYMENOPTERA CHALCIDOIDEA, VII.—GIRAULT. 91 
bend of the submarginal vein is a straight deeper brown streak beset with stiff bristles and 
a narrow, curved hyaline line at caudal three fourths divides the first cross-stripe longitudinally. 
The distal stripe and streaks are blackish. Marginal vein black, about thrice longer than wide, 
subequal to the stigmal, the postmarginal colorless, shorter. Axille separated by a short 
carina. Thorax finely scaly and with scattered, minute setigerous punctures. Pubescence not 
conspicuous. Face inflexed, the frons narrow, about two and a half times as wide as the 
diameter of an ocellus. Mandibles with three subequal teeth. 
From one female caught by sweeping in forest, December 19, 1911. 
Habitat: Gordonvale (Cairns), Queensland. 
Type: No. Hy 2996, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the specimen on a tag; head and an 
injured fore wing on a slide. 
2. ENCYRTUS NEWCOMBI new species. 
Femaie :—ULength, 1.50 mm. 
Exactly similar to gilberti but the abdomen concolorous, the first four funicle joints 
blackish, also the pedicel. Hind tibial spurs double (not seen in the other species). 
From one female caught February 16, 1913 on a window (H. Hacker). 
Habitat: Brisbane, Queensland. 
Type: No. Hy 2997, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the specimen on a slide. 
Dedicated to Simon Newcomb, astronomer. 
3. ENCYRTUS SPINOZAI new species. 
Female :—Length, 1.15 mm. 
Dull honey yellow, immaculate; funicles 1, 4 and 5 silvery white; club black. Pedicel 
distinctly longer than any of the funicle joints of which the first is somewhat longer than 
wide, the following joints subquadrate. Club wider than the funicle. Fore wings marked as 
in the preceding species but the apical infuscation is distinctly not connected with the 
M-shaped streaks proximad of it, its proximal margin practically straight; moreover, the 
middle piece of the M-shaped marking is isolated nearly. The infuscation under the venation 
is uniform, not accented. Postmarginal vein barely longer than wide. Frons a little narrower 
than in gilberti. Thorax finely*sheened. Axille barely separated. 
From one female caught sweeping in jungle, April 2, 1913. 
Habitat: Mulgrave River (Gordonvale near Cairns), Queensland. 
+ Type: No. Hy 2998, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the female on a tag; head and fore 
wings on a slide. 
4. ENCYRTUS ARISTOTELEA new species. 
Female :—Length, 1.20 mm. 
Very similar to newcombi but somewhat less robust, the first four antennal joints are 
pale yellow, the postmarginal vein is somewhat less than half the length of the stigmal (fully 
two thirds in newcombi). Antenne as in gilberti. Otherwise the same as newcombi. Axille 
broadly joined, with a carina between them. Similar to gilberti but the abdomen wholly 
concolorous. Hind tibial spur single. 
From one female caught by sweeping edges of jungle, January 3, 1914 (A. P. Dodd). 
Habitat: Gordonvale (Cairns), Queensland. 
Type: No. Hy 2999, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the specimen on a tag; head, hind 
tibia and fore wing on a slide with type gilbert. 
6. ENCYRTUS TRIGUTTATUS new species. 
Female :—Length, 1.50 mm. 
Similar to gilberti but the abdomen bears at apex above a distinct round purple spot 
and two fainter purple spots one on each lateral margin just out from base. Also, the body is 
somewhat more robust and the scutum bears more conspicuous blackish pubescence. Differs
