AUSTRALIAN HYMENOPTERA CHALCIDOIDEA, VII.—GIRAULT. 147 
wing naked except at base where there are numerous cilia. The specimen agrees with the 
original description except that the pedicel is black, the distal half of the club white. Scutellum 
and axille densely shagreened.’’ 
The added notes made from one female, caught on flowers of Beckea, Brisbane, April 22, 
1913 (H. Hacker). The specimen is in the collections of the Queensland Museum, a. female 
on a tag, appendages on a slide. 
Genus FULGORIDICIDA Perkins. 
Head very wide, the hairy eyes extremely large, so that the part between them is very 
narrow, not more than a third as wide as one of these; ocelli in the form of an isosceles 
triangle which is much less wide at base than high and the caudal ones are close to the eye 
margins. Front dull, with dense, excessively minute sculpture. Antenne slender, the scape 
simple, the pedicel longer than the first funicle joint, the six funicle joints mostly longer than 
wide, the club as long or longer than the last three funicle joints. Mandibles bidentate, the 
teeth acute. Club 3-jointed, wider than the funicle. Thorax dull, sculptured like the front, the 
axilla meeting inwardly. Wings hyaline, hairy, the marginal fringes very short, the naked 
oblique line thin, the marginal vein short and thick and longer than wide, longer than the 
stigmal, the postmarginal acute and barely developed, shorter than the stigmal. Abdomen 
subtriangular, wide, depressed, foveated on each side toward base, the fovea bearing short 
bristles; ovipositor slightly exserted. 
In the male, the eyes are much more widely separated, the intervening space about as 
wide as one eye; the funicle joints are elongate, mostly twice longer than their width, bearing 
conspicuous, shortish hairs, the pedicel much shorter than the first funicle joint, the club about 
equal to the two preceding. The head is more decidedly menisciform, the ocelli placed in the 
portion of the angles of an almost equilateral triangle.

funicle joints subequal, the pedicel much shorter than the first of these and apparently darker

bluish, the head and mesothorax rather bright green; legs metallic bluish, the tarsi brown. 
Wings hyaline, the venation blackish, somewhat as in penni. Antenne the same but the scape 
hardly at all dilated, the first and second funicle joints longest, each subequal to the pedicel, 
longer than wide (distinctly), the following joints more or less subquadrate; antenne blackish.
