106 MEMOIRS OF THE QUEENSLAND MUSEUM. 
at base and the caudal margin and neck of pronotum, metallic purple. Face washed with 
metallic purple. Fore wings uniformly embrowned from about the middle of the submarginal 
vein distad to apex. Funicle purplish; funicle 6 at tip and the club silvery white. Extruded 
valves of ovipositor which are no longer than a fourth the length of abdomen, purple. Abdomen 
ventrad at distal fourth purple. Mesopleurum purple. 
Head lenticular, the antenne inserted in the middle or only a little below, the serobes. 
absent or nearly, the frons moderately broad, the ocelli in a straight line, not near the eyes, 
the latter long, over twice the length of the cheeks. Mandibles with two lateral teeth acute, 
subequal, the inner distinctly shorter, truncate but not very broad. Marginal vein about twice 
longer than wide, the stigmal and postmarginal veins subequal, each somewhat shorter. Oblique 
hairless line present, narrow, rather obscure. Funicle joints elongate, 1 and 2 subequal, about 
five times longer than wide, each over twice the length of the pedicel, 6 a little longer than 
the pedicel, a little over twice longer than wide. Club joints not very distinct. Scape stout, 
long. Metapleura purple. Head and thorax feebly reticulated and with short black pubescence: 
from minute setigerous punctures. Propodeum with three sharp ridges at meson, all separate. 
Fore wing densely ciliated discally, the marginal fringes short. Axille just not meeting acutely. 
Propodeal spiracle small, round, cephalad, a long lateral carina (near lateral margin) leading 
straight from the latero-caudal corner. Club of antenna rather long, somewhat wider than 
the funicle. Hind tibial spur single, distinct. Scutum somewhat longer than the scutellum. 
Hairless line of fore wing with very many lines of cilia proximad of it. 
From one female caught in jungle, June 10, 1913 (A. P. Dodd). 
Habitat: Upper Mulgrave River (Gordonvale), Queensland. 
Type: No. Hy 3027, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the female on a tag; head, hind 
tibia and fore wing on a slide. 
This genus runs to Hexacladia Ashmead but differs in the venation. 
The club is not as long as the preceding three joints taken together. Scape not extending 
beyond the vertex. Antenne inserted much above the ventral ends of the eyes. 
2. HEXENCYRTUS FUMOSIPENNIS new species. 
Female :—Length, 1.90 mm. 
Agrees with Hexacladia Ashmead but the scape is compressed yet long but not extending 
any distance beyond the ocelli; also the marginal vein is distinctly somewhat longer than the 
other two veins and about thrice longer than wide; postmarginal vein a little shorter than the 
stigmal. Mandibles with the two outer teeth acute, the second longer, the third tooth shortest 
and coneavely truncate and rather broad. Funicle joints elongate, the pedicel only one and a 
half times longer than wide at apex. Frons broad, convex; cheeks less than a third the length 
of the long eyes. Axillw separated by a short carina. Valves of ovipositor exserted for a 
fifth the length of the abdomen. Hind tibial spur single, stout. Club 3-jointed. 
Dark metallic blue, the neck of pronotum, propleurum, axilla and base of abdomen 
narrowly, orange yellow. Legs and scape yellowish brown; flagellum black except club and 
distal third of funicle 6 which are silvery white. Fore wings deeply fuscous from base to apex, 
the hind wings dusky. Seape and flagellum hispid (excluding club). Funicles 1 and 2 subequal, 
twice the length of the pedicel, about five times longer than wide, 3 and 4 subequal, 6 twice 
longer than wide; club only a little wider, about a third the length of the funicle. Oblique 
hairless line with many fine lines of cilia proximad of it. Head and thorax finely reticulated, 
the thorax with numerous minute setigerous punctures. Propodeum with three well separated 
median carina and a narrow carina just laterad of the minute spiracle and which curves around 
it to run along (mesad) the cephalic margin; just mesad of this carina and infolded by its 
two arms (the lateral and cephalic) the propodeum bears fine longitudinal strie; between 
these and meson, glabrous. Hairless line of fore wing closed caudad. 
From one female caught by sweeping in jungle, March 1, 1914. 
Habitat: Gordonvale (Cairns), Queensland.
