AUSTRALIAN HYMENOPTERA CHALCIDOIDEA, VII.—GIRAULT. 163 
From one female caught sweeping in jungle, February, 1914 (A. P. Doda). 
Habitat: Babinda, Queensland. 
Type: No. Hy 3128, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the female on a tag; head, pair of 
wings and a hind tibia on a slide. 
BASOANUSIA new genus. 
Female:—Runs to Holanusia Girault but the club is greatly enlarged, nearly twice the 
length of the funicle, the joints of the latter subannular. Also the second tooth of the 
mandibles is broadly truncate, the hind tibial spurs are double, the marginal vein about thrice 
longer than wide, over twice the length of the stigmal which is not long and only somewhat 
longer than the postmarginal. The axille have a carina between them. Otherwise much the 
same. Frons moderately narrow, somewhat over thrice the diameter of an ocellus. Pronotum 
transverse. Ring-joint present. Scutum and scutellum not much unequal in length. 
1. BHOANUSIA MAGNICLAVA new species. Genotype. 
Female :—Length, 1.30 mm. 
Dark metallic blue-green, the axilla and scutellum coppery, the wings hyaline; knees, 
tips of tibize and tarsi pale yellow; antenne concolorous but funicle 6 is white, also the palpi. 
Head very densely punctate-scaly, also the thorax, the scutum with distinct short, white 
pubescence which contrasts with its background. Funicle joints each widening, 6 distinctly 
wider than 1 but all subequal in length. Pedicel barely longer than wide but much longer 
than any of the funicle joints. Cheeks subequal to the eyes. Propodeum and abdomen scaly. 
Hairless line of fore wing with about ten lines of coarser cilia proximad of it. 
From one female taken by sweeping forest, January 8, 1913. 
Habitat: Capeville (Pentland), Queensland. 
Type: No. Hy 3129, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the specimen on a tag; head, fore 
wing and a hind tibia on a slide. 
2. BASOANUSIA PERFUSCIPENNIS new species. 
Female :—Length, 1.30 mm. 
Differs from the genotype in that the frons is a half narrower, the scape much more dilated 
and the club somewhat narrower but as long. Dark metallic blue-green, the abdomen and legs 
metallic purple, the tarsi pale yellow, the antennz wholly concolorous. Thorax densely scaly, 
the axilla and abdomen smoother; axille with a carina between them. Scutum somewhat wider 
than long, a little shorter than the scutellum; scutum with scattered setigerous punctures, the 
pubescence not as distinct as in the genotype. Fore wings very deeply embrowned but clear 
around apex, the infuscation deeper under the venation; a white, transverse dash just cephalad 
of venation. Much discal ciliation proximad of hairless line. Funicle and club hispid. Other- 
wise about as in the genotype. Costal cell of hind wings extending to the hooklets. 
From one female captured on edge of jungle, May 28, 1913. 
Habitat: Gordonvale (Cairns), Queensland. 
Type: No. Hy 3130, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the specimen on a tag; head hind 
tibia and a pair of wings on a slide. 
3. BHOANUSIA PERSIMILIS new species. 
Like the genotype but the axille are a little separated and thus without the distinct 
carina between them. Otherwise the same or very nearly. 
Dark steel blue, the scutellum dark coppery, the legs concolorous except on each side of 
knee, tips of tibize and tarsi which are white. Body densely scaly, the scutellum densely 
punctulate, the scutum with a fine silvery pubescence. Distal funicle joint white. Caudal femur 
black to knee. Axille a very little separated. Scutellum reaching base of abdomen. Hind
