AUSTRALIAN HYMENOPTERA CHALCIDOIDEA, VII.—GIRAULT. ai tal 
PARENCYRTOMYTA new genus. 
1, PARENCYRTOMYIA NIVEICLAVA new species. Genotype. 
Female :—Length, 1.90 mm. Robust. 
Deep orange yellow, the pronotum, except caudo-mesad, head, propodeum, dorsum of 
abdomen except at distal fourth and at base mesad and the mesopleurum, deep*metallic purple; 
serobicular cavity, scape and legs yellow; antenne purple, the club white. Head and thorax 
finely scaly, a row of small punctures along the eyes on vertex; thorax with numerous, obscure 
setigerous punctures. Axille a little separated. Abdomen a little shorter than the thorax, 
acutely triangular, depressed; ovipositor a little extruded. Mandibles with three short, subequal 
teeth, the outer one acute, the mandibles rather short and stout. Fore wings distinctly 
infuscated at distal fourth or more (but apex clearer), the infumation acuminately prolonged 
proximad to the oblique hairless line; lightly stained under submarginal vein. Marginal vein 
two and a third times longer than wide, subequal to the postmarginal, the stigmal a little 
longer. Half a dozen lines of coarser cilia proximad of the hairless line. Head (cephalic 
aspect) longer than wide, the frons moderate (about 5 times the diameter of the large cephalic 
ocellus), the cheeks over half the length of the eyes. Inner tooth of mandibles blunt. Hind 
tibial spur stout. Scape long and slender, the pedicel subelongate, not quite thrice longer than 
wide, somewhat shorter than funicle 1 which is longest and about four and a half times longer 
than wide; 2 and 3 each a little shorter in succession; funicle 6 a little longer than wide. 
Club not half the length of the flagellum. Face inflexed, the frons not especially prominent. 
Scutellum shorter than the scutum. Club joints not very distinct. 
From one female caught by sweeping flowers in a garden, February 18, 1913. 
Habitat: Ripple Creek (Ingham), Queensland. 
Type: No. Hy 3036, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the specimen on a tag; head, hind 
tibiz# and a fore wing on a slide. 
GeNus SCHEDIUS Howard. 
1. SCHEDIUS UNCINCTIPES new species. 
Female :—Length, 1.15 mm. Differs from the genotype in having the frons broader, 
the club obliquely truncate, the funicle joints wider than long, the mandibles rather long and 
with three acute teeth of which the mesal is longest. Also, the scutellum extends to base of 
abdomen. 
Brilliant metallic green, the abdomen darker, the wings hyaline; legs (except all coxe 
and a broad concolorous band on hind tibie a short distance distad of knee and extending to 
middle) and antenne (except pedicel above at proximal two thirds) silvery white. Head and 
thorax densely punctulate, the axilla smoother, reticulated. Abdomen scaly. Frons moderately 
broad. Cheeks very short, about a fourth the length of the eyes or a little less. Frons 
subprominent, the vertex nearly flat. Ring-joint present. Pedicel as long as funicles 1 and 2 
united, barely longer than wide; funicle 6 widest and longest, nearly twice wider than long, 
5 a little longer than it, longest, 2 and 3 subequal, a little wider than 1. Club a little over 
half the length of the funicle and distinetly wider. 
Lateral ocelli nearly their own diameter from the eyes. Hind femur compressed, the 
hind tibial spurs single. Tarsal joints of caudal legs all longer than wide, 1 and 5 subequal, 
1 a little longer, over twice longer than wide. Venation pallid. Marginal vein slightly longer 
than wide; other veins about as in the genotype. Hairless line of fore wing with only about 
three lines of discal cilia proximad of it. Pronotum transverse-linear. Scutum long. Abdomen 
as figured for the genotype. Fore wings with about 40 lines of very fine discal cilia where 
widest. 
Described from one female, forest, July 9, 1914. 
Habitat: Meerawa (Cairns), Queensland. 
Type: No. Hy 3037, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the female on a tag; head, fore 
wings and hind tibie# with slide type of Ectromoides purpureiscutellum Girault.
