AUSTRALIAN HYMENOPTERA CHALCIDOIDEA, VII.—GIRAULT. 105 
PARASYRPOPHAGUS new genus. 
Female:—In my table of genera runs to Helegonatopus Perkins but differs in having 
the marginal, postmarginal and stigmal veins subequal, the marginal vein about two and a half 
times longer than wide. Also, the scape is stout .and not long, the club only slightly wider 
than the funicle and only about half its length, the funicle joints widening a little distad, all 
a little wider than long and somewhat shorter than the pedicel. Valves of ovipositor extruded 
a very short distance. Frons subprominent, the vertex a little flattened. Face much inflexed. 
Head rounded. Axille with a weak carina between them. Frons moderate in width. Pronotum 
transverse-linear. Hairless line of fore wing well defined, the blade ciliate to base from it. 
1, PARASYRPOPHAGUS FUNERALIS new species. Genotype. 
Female :—Length, 0.95. 
Dark metallic purple, the legs reddish yellowish except caudal cox and caudal femora, 
the latter dusky, rather stout. Body delicately, polygonally scaly, the scutum with scattered 
pubescence. Scape pale yellow, rest of antenna black. Club ovate. Funicle joints with rather 
conspicuous, rather dense, tolerably long pubescence, less dense on the pedicel, the scape with 
numerous scattered, rather long hairs and apparently dilated from lateral aspect but no true 
foliation. Caudal wings with about a dozen lines of uniform discal ciliation where widest. 
Venation fuscous; a rounded, dusky spot against marginal vein and under the venation, the 
blade is irregularly very lightly smoky. Hind tibial spur single, small. Mandibular teeth 
acute, the outer a little the shortest. Costal cell of caudal wings not extending to the hooklets 
by far. Axille not especially narrow, rather broad; meson of scutellum and the apex rather 
broadly glabrous. Cheeks two thirds the lengths of the eyes. Abdomen conic-triangular, 
depressed, about as long as the thorax. 
From one female captured in jungle, Tweed River, May 4, 1914 (A. P. Dodd). 
Habitat: Tweed Heads, New South Wales. 
Type: No. Hy 3625, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the specimen on a tag; head, pair 
of wings and hind tibie with the slide type of Hexencyrtus fumosipennis Girault. 
2. PARASYRPOPHAGUS SEMIARGENTIPES new species. 
Female :—Length, 1.10 mm. 
Differs from the genotype in having the abdomen distinctly longer, somewhat longer 
than the rest of the body, the coxe and proximal two thirds of femora silvery white, rest of 
legs yellowish tinged with slight reddish; also the wings are slightly dusky but there is no 
distinct spot against the marginal vein, the hairless line has only about six lines of cilia 
proximad of it, the venation is yellow and the funicle joints all a little longer than wide and 
slightly wider distad, 1 and 2 a little the shortest. Pedicel slightly longer than funicle 6. 
Scape yellow, dusky at tip above, cylindrical. The frons is somewhat broader, the cheeks a 
little longer than in the genotype. Bulla dusky black. Hind tibial spurs double. Otherwise 
like the genotype. 
From one female captured in jungle, May 3, 1914 (A. P. Dodd). 
Habitat: Tweed Heads (Tweed River), New South Wales. 
Type: No. Hy 3026, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the specimen on a tag with type 
of genotype; head, fore wing, a middle tibia and caudal tibize with slide type of Hexencyrtus 
fumosipennis Girault. 
HEXENCYRTUS new genus. 
1. HEXENCYRTUS ALBICLAVA new species. Genotype. 
Female :—Length, 1.60 mm. excluding the normal, shortly extruded portion of ovipositor. 
Orange yellowish; scutum except along the median line, the scutellum except lateral and 
caudal margins, cephalic margin of propodeum and laterad, the dorsum of abdomen except
