AUSTRALIAN HYMENOPTERA CHALCIDOIDEA, VII—GIRAULT. 151 
marginal vein moderately long, subequal. Lateral ocellus nearer the cephalic one than to the 
eye; axille meeting. Face convex, the antenne inserted near the mouth border, 12-jointed with 
one very short ring-joint, the club 3-jointed, the funicle joints very long, 1 being over twice the 
length of the pedicel. Mandibles with nearly equal acute teeth. Propodeum with three median 
carine, the lateral ones curved. Fore wings with an oblique hairless line from the stigmal 
vein, the line being more or less parallel with the cephalic margin. Stigmal vein a little 
shorter than the postmarginal, both moderately long. Abdomen shorter than the thorax, 
compressed, pointed at apex the wings extending beyond it for some distance. Legs long. 
Corrected description. 
1. LEPTOMASTIX TRIFASCIATUS (Girault). Female. Genotype of Calocerinella. 
Length, 1.90 mm. Very dark metallic purplish, the proximal four tarsal joints and 
cephalic femora and tibize dusky yellowish, also the head and first two antennal joints. Finely 
alutaceous, the scutum also with small thimble punctures. Club not as long as funicle 1, its 
joints short, the region a third longer than funicle 6, the latter only about half the length 
of the first. Third band of fore wing much the longest, covering all of the distal third of the 
blade except around apical margin, which is clear; middle band with its distal margin crossing 
the apex of the stigmal vein, about equal to the proximal band. Propodeum and base of 
abdomen with silvery pubescence. 
Habitat: Gordonvale (Cairns), Queensland. Forest, April 9, 1913. 
Type: No. Hy 3102, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, a female on a tag, the head on a 
slide. 
One male, forest, Gordonvale, April 16, 1913 (A. P. Dodd). Im the male, the funicle 
joints subnodular, with 3-4 whorls of long hairs to each. Honey yellow except the purple brown of 
thorax and abdomen; antenne 10-jointed, the club solid, hairy; funicle joints elongate, the 
first three longest, each subequal to the club. Two females, sweeping grass in forest, Capeville 
(Pentland), Queensland, September 12, 1914. Associated with forest grasses. 
2. LEPTOMASTIX GUTTATIPENNIS new species. 
Female :—Length, 1.75 mm. 
Dull brown, the scutellum, axilla and abdomen deep purplish black; seutum with a 
purplish tinge; hind legs (except tarsi) purple, also the antennez except scape and pedicel. 
Nearly distal half of caudal wings dusky. Tips of hind tibize brown. Fore wings very deep 
purplish black, the extreme base hyaline and with the following perfectly clear areas—two 
obeonical areas suspended from the submarginal vein, the first with pubescence, the second 
naked; a similar naked area from the costal margin just distad of venation, obliqued proximad 
so as to touch the apex of the stigmal vein; a somewhat smaller, similar area opposite, from 
caudal margin and obliqued proximad; and a smaller, naked, oval spot nearly central on the wing 
blade and a little distad of the disto-caudal angle of the area distad of venation. A sub- 
quadrate, half clear area under marginal vein between it and the hairless line. Postmarginal 
vein shorter than the stigmal. Costal cell exceedingly narrow. Head densely, polygonally 
scaly, lenticular. Funicle 1 longest, somewhat over thrice the length of the pedicel, 2 a little 
shorter, 3 and 4 subequal, each a little shorter than 2; 6 somewhat over thrice longer than 
wide. Resembles structurally trifasciatus. Thorax sculptured like the head but the areas 
smaller. Axille with a carina between them. Scutum with greyish pubescence. Club joints 
somewhat longer than wide. Two hind tibial spurs, one very short. 
Described from one female caught in forest, April 20, 1914. 
Habitat: Gordonvale (Cairns), Queensland. 
Type: No. Hy 3103, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the specimen on a tag; head, fore 
wings and hind tibie on a slide.
