AUSTRALIAN HYMENOPTERA CHALCIDOIDEA, VII.—GIRAULT. 99 
COPIDOSOMYTA new genus. 
Female:—Head (cephalic aspect) long-ovate, distinctly longer than wide, narrower 
ventrad, the cheeks two-thirds the length of the eyes, the frons narrow, the antenne inserted at 
the mouth border, the scrobes forming a rather shallow very short triangle, the face convex, with 
seattered thimble punctures. Antennz 9-jointed, the scape long and slender, the pedicel 
moderately long (one and three fourth times longer than wide at apex), much longer than 
any of the funicle joints of which 1 is longest, somewhat longer than wide and subequal to 2; 
3 and 4 slightly longer than wide, 5 and 6 a little wider than long; club solid, long conic-ovate, 
a little over half the length of the funicle; no ring-joint. Axille rather broadly joined at 
meson. Hind tibial spur single; legs slender. Abdomen shorter than the thorax, flat above, 
compressed beneath, the ovipositor very shortly extruded. Marginal vein twice as long as wide, 
the postmarginal vein a third longer than it, the stigmal long, still longer than the postmarginal; 
oblique hairless line short, distinct, the fore wing with a rather broad, distinct sooty stripe 
across it from the proximal end of the bend of the submarginal vein to a little beyond the 
apex of the stigmal, the discal ciliation proximad coterminous with the proximal margin of 
this stripe. Marginal cilia of fore wing very short. Second segment of abdomen occupying 
half of surface, obtuse, short. Mandibles with three acute, subequal teeth. Head shaped like 
that of an ant. Genal suture subobsolete. 
1. COPIDOSOMYIA CINCTIVENTRIS new species. Genotype. 
Female :—Length, 1.60 mm. 
Black-blue, the antennz and legs concolorous; club, a band around base of abdomen, 
one around hind tibie just below knees and distal third of cephalic femur, yellowish white. 
Pronotum and scutum finely scaly; head, scutellum and axille more coarsely so. Metapleurum 
with some silvery pubescence. Pronotum and scutum with some sparse whitish pubescence. 
Propodeum nonecarinate, together with the abdomen practically smooth. Base of extruded 
portion of valves of ovipositor suffused with whitish. 
From one female caught in jungle, December 3, 1913 (A. P. Dodd). 
Habitat: Kuranda, Queensland. 
Type: No. Hy 3014, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the specimen on a tag; antenna, 
fore wing and a hind tibia on a slide. 
This genus seems related to Copidosoma and allies but the mandibles appear to disagree 
with those of that genus and the club is solid. 
ZARHOPALOIDES new genus. 
1, ZARHOPALOIDES AXILLARIS new species. Genotype. 
Female :—Length, 0.80 mm. 
Dark metallic green, the wings hyaline; legs, head (except upper occiput), axille, the 
transverse pronotum, extreme apex of scutellum and a rather broad band across caudal scutum 
(a little over caudal third of scutum) lemon yellow; abdomen black-purple. Vertex orange 
yellow. Antenne dusky yellow, the scape and pedicel lemon yellow, the pedicel metallic above. 
Scape of moderate length, shorter than the funicle whose joints are wider than long, enlarging 
distad, 1 and 2 nearly like ring-joints, smallest; pedicel a little longer than funicle 6; club 
subequal to the scape, wider than the funicle; funicle 6 somewhat wider than 1, thrice longer. 
Mandibles with three short, acute, unequal teeth, the second longest, the first shortest. Cheeks 
nearly as long as the eyes, the face inflexed, the frons not prominent, broad. Ocelli nearly in 
a straight line, the lateral ones nearly their own diameter from the eye margins. Marginal 
vein a little wider than long, postmarginal distinct, somewhat over half the length of the 
stigmal which is twice the length of the marginal. Cilia proximad of hairless line sparse, two 
lines guarding the path distinct. Discal cilia of fore wing very fine, dense, the fore wing 
pyriform. Hind tibize with two spurs, the first very short. Axille separated for some little
