AUSTRALIAN HYMENOPTERA CHALCIDOIDEA, VII—GIRAULT. 113 
NESYRPOPHAGUS new genus. 
1. NESYRPOPHAGUS FLAVITHORAX new species. Genotype. 
Female :—Length, 0.95 mm. Rather stout. With the habitus of Encyrtus. 
Orange yellow, the wings hyaline, the antenne white, legs pale yellow; head and abdomen 
dark purplish; club and dorsal pedical, dusky. Seape slender; pedicel somewhat less thar 
twice longer than wide at apex, a little longer than funicle 1 which is longest and slightly 
longer than wide; funicles 2 and 3 subquadrate; remaining funicle joints somewhat wider 
than long. Club about a half the length of the funicle or a little more. Vertex moderate in 
width; cheeks subequal to the eyes in length. Marginal vein twice longer than broad, a little 
longer than the stigmal, the postmarginal short, somewhat longer than wide, the venation pale; 
oblique hairless line distinct, with about four rows of coarser discal cilia proximad of it. 
Axille joined but separated by a short, distinct carina. Thorax finely scaly, with numerous, 
small setigerous punctures. Propodeum naked. Pubescence not conspicuous but quite evident 
on scutum and scutellum. Mandibles with three short teeth. Ring-joint present. Abdomen 
short, triangular, depressed. Hind tibial spur single. Secutellum purplish mesad just before 
tip. Frons moderate. 
From one female caught in forest, December 19, 1911. 
Habitat: Gordonvale (Cairns), Queensland. 
Type: No. Hy 3040, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the specimen on a tag; head, a 
fore wing and a hind tibia on a slide. 
Later, two females, same place. 
The cheeks are nearly as long as the eyes. 
2. NESYRPHOPHAGUS UNGUTTATUS new species. 
Female :—Length, 1.10 mm. 
Very similar indeed to the preceding but differing in that the axille are not separated 
merely by a carina but are distinctly apart for some distance, rather widely separated. The 
purple spot on scutellum before apex is more distinct. Also, the head is metallic eneous. The 
marginal vein is a little shorter, the postmarginal longer, somewhat over half the length of 
the stigmal. Vertex with small thimble punctures, a row of them along the eye. Also funicle 
1 is distinctly longer than wide. 
From two females caught December 2, 1913 in jungle (A. P. Dodd). 
Habitat: Kuranda, Queensland. 
Bype: No. Hy 3041, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the specimen on a tag; head, 
antenna and a fore wing on a slide. 
Differs from Syrpophagus Ashmead in haying the scape long and slender, the funicle 
joints short and the club about half the length of the funicle. 
ECHTHROBACCELLA new genus. 
1. ECHTHROBACCELLA ARGENTINOTATA new species. Genotype. 
Female :—Length, 1.50 mm., excluding ovipositor which is extruded distinctly a short 
distance. Frons prominent. Varicolored. 
Black. The following parts silvery white: Head except center of occiput and two 
stripes across cheeks beneath the eyes, the ventral one near ventral margin of head, both 
running to the black of the occiput and barely visible from cephalic aspect; apex of pedicel, 
scape (except dorsal edge broadly from base nearly to tip and ventrad narrowly all along), 
pronotum except its entire face, pro- and mesopleurum, prepectus, legs. (except ventral edge 
centrally of cephalic femur, a minute dusky spot dorsad just below knee on cephalic tibix, 
middle knee and a dot just below it laterad and same on hind legs::but. the spot below
