AUSTRALIAN HYMENOPTERA CHALCIDOIDEA, VII.—GIRAULT. 103 
vein and is more distinct distad; the region surrounding apex of submarginal vein; a space 
just distad of venation and irregularly joined to this farther distad a large, obliqued hyaline 
spot on margin; similar spot on cephalic margin before apex; a small, inconspicuous clear 
space at middle of apex; and two marginal spots caudad, opposite to the cephalic two but 
smaller; the proximal of these two is round. Body finely transversely scaly-reticulate; a short 
line of delicate punctures in the middle of the flat vertex caudad; thorax with numerous 
scattered setigerous pin-punctures. Axille a little separated. Head triangular from lateral 
aspect, the vertex long, the frons prominent; a line of minute punctures along lateral and 
cephalic margin of vertex. Frons moderate (about 8 times the diameter of the small cephalic 
ocellus). Mandibles with three short, equal teeth. Fore wing narrow, the marginal fringes 
somewhat longer than usual, the marginal vein about six times longer than wide, somewhat 
over twice the length of the stigmal and rather thick, the postmarginal absent. Hairless line 
not well defined. Scape greatly flattened; pedicel very small, flat; funicle joints all much 
wider than long, the first three shortest, one end curved and pointed; club 3-jointed, no wider 
than the funicle and a little shorter. Hind tibie with one distinct tibial spur. Legs slender. 
Pronotum transverse-quadrate, a third the length of the scutum. 
From one female taken in forest, April 24, 1914. 
Habitat: Gordonvale (Cairns), Queensland. 
Type: No. Hy 3021, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the specimen on a tag; head, hind 
tibia and a fore wing on a slide. ; 
This species most probably belongs here but the descriptions of the genus are lacking 
in numerous particulars.

GENUS CHRYSOPOPHAGUS Ashmead. 
1. CHRYSOPOPHAGUS MAZZININI new species. 
Female :—Length, 1.65 mm. 
Dark metallic purple, the scutellum at cephalic two thirds lemon yellow, rest brown 
yellow; mesopleurum, venter and sides of abdomen, cephalic and middle femora, head, scape, 
venter of thorax, cephalo-lateral augle of pronotum and face of the latter yellowish brown. 
Frons washed with purplish; dorsum of abdomen except across base, suffused with brownish. 
Fore wing at extreme base and from origin of marginal vein not quite to extreme apex, deeply 
embrowned. About four lines of black cilia proximad of hairless line, these twice coarser 
than the main ciliation. Marginal vein elongate, four or more times the length of the short 
stigmal, the postmarginal a little over half the length of the stigmal; a small, clearer spot at 
apex of venation, a longer one nearly opposite at caudal margin. Fore wings narrow. Hind 
tibiz with one spur. Mandibles slender, with three equal acute teeth of which the middle is a 
little the longest. Scape long, curved, very slender; pedicel subequal to funicle 4 which is 
somewhat longer than wide; funicle 1 longest, somewhat over twice longer than wide, cylindrical; 
flagellum after funicle 2 compressed, funicle 6 a little wider than long; ciub distinctly less 
than half the length of the funicle. Frons moderately broad; lateral ocellus over its own 
diameter from the eye margins. Cheeks half the length of the eyes. Scutellum with a tuft of 
black bristles. Ring-joint present. Head sublenticular. Frons punctulate. A short carina 
between the confluent axille, the latter yellowish brown laterad. Thorax densely, finely scaly. 
Seutum with short, contrasting silvery white hairs. Pronotum large, not much shorter than 
the scutum. Legs slender. 
From one female on a tag; head, fore wing and hind tibia on a slide. 
Habitat: Gordonvale (Cairns), Queensland. Forest, August 4, 1913. 
Type: No. Hy 3022, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the specimen on a tag; head, fore 
wing and a hind tibia on a slide.
