AUSTRALIAN HYMENOPTERA CHALCIDOIDEA, VII—GIRAULT. 145 
longer than wide at base. Also only distal third of pedicel is white, the distal two thirds of 
dorsum of abdomen is purplish black and there is a wider than long marginal blackish area 
on each side of abdomen at base. Tibie concolorous with the body. Avxille joined, with a 
carina between them. Venation yellow. Hairless line of fore wing with many lines of cilia 
proximad of it, broad, closed caudad. Hind tibial spurs double. Marginal vein four or five 
times longer than wide. Face inflexed. Cheeks nearly as long as the eyes, the frons moderately 
broad. 
From one female caught June 10, 1914, sweeping in forest. 
Habitat: Gordonvale (Cairns), Queensland. 
Type: No. Hy 3093, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the specinen on a tag; head, fore 
wing and a hind tibia on a slide. 
7. EPIDINOCARSIS FOERSTERI new species. 
Female :—Length, 1.35 mm. 
Orange yellow, the face and dorsum of pronotum except laterad, propodeum, dorsal 
abdomen, median line of scutellum centrally and antenne, black. A silvery, curved stripe 
across scape just before apex; club and funicles 5 and 6 silvery white, also the legs, funicle 4 a 
little suffused with whitish. Wings hyaline. Scrobes not joined dorsad. Funicle 1 a little 
longer than the pedicel, 2-4 subequal, each a little shorter than 1, 6 a little longer than wide. 
Hind tibial spur single. Hairless line of fore wing closed at each end, proximad of it, many 
lines of cilia. Axille with a carina separating them. Scutum and scutellum with short silvery 
pubescence. Scape greatly dilated. Venation normal. Funicle 1 about two and a half times 
longer than wide. 
From one female caught by sweeping forest on sand-ridges near coast, May 8, 1914 
(A. P. Dodd). 
Habitat: Chindera (Tweed River), New South Wales. 
Type: No. Hy 3094, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the specimen on a tag; fore wing, 
head and a hind tibia with slide type of Aphycus sangwinithoraz. 
8. EPIDINOCARSIS SIMILIS new species. 
Female :—Length, 1.10 mm. 
Very similar to auratiscutum Girault but only the face of the pronotum is purplish and 
the antenne differ in that the scape is much less dilated and is distinctly narrowly black at 
tip, the discal funicle joint is white only at tip; the pedicel and first three funicle joints are 
rather shorter and the head is orange yellow. Dorsum of abdomen more or less purplish or 
washed with that color. Propodeum wholly black in both species except cephalad of spiracle. 
The fore wing is more stained under the venation in this species, the venation more distinct 
(in both species about eight lines of discal cilia proximad of the hairless line). The scape 
is distinctly white at base (barely so in auratiscutum). Hind tibial spurs single. 
From one female caught sweeping in forest, April 12, 1914. 
Habitat: Gordonvale (Cairns), Queensland. 
Type: No. Hy 3095, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the specimen on a tag; fore wing, 
hind Jegs and head on a slide. 
9. EPIDINOCARSIS NIGRIFLAGELLUM new species. 
Female :—Length, 1.75 mm. 
Orange yellow, the wings hyaline, the phragma, propodeum and abdomen brown-black, 
the antenne jet black except part of the scape which is colored as in the other species. 
Postmarginal vein a little longer than the stigmal which is still longer tuan the marginal. 
Head and thorax densely, finely, scaly reticulate, the abdomen somewhat more coarsely so, the 
second segment occupying somewhat less than a fourth of the surface, the third occupying 
the rest of the surface, bearing a spiracle at base which bears several very long sete. Pedicel
