AUSTRALIAN HYMENOPTERA CHALCIDOIDEA, VII.—GIRAULT. 169 
wings with a pattern, the marginal fringes short. Hind tibial spurs double. Funicle 1 nearly 
twice longer than wide, longest. Cephalic and caudal femora and tibiz compressed. Seutum 
a little longer than the scutellum, the abdomen depressed, triangular, as long as the thorax, 
the ovipositor not exserted, segment 3 apparently occupying two thirds or more of the surface. 
1. PARATETRALOPHIDEA ORNATIPENNIS new species. Genotype. 
Female:—Length, 1.60 mm. Stout, rather short. 
Dark metallic purple, the scutellum dark blue at distal third, rest green; middle legs 
except coxe and femora proximad and all tarsi, brown. Fore wing with two conspicuous, 
broad, black stripes across them, the first from the distal fourth or less of the submarginal, 
all of marginal and stigmal veins (not crossing the latter), its proximal margin straight, continuous 
with the discal ciliation, its cephalic margin convex; the second stripe is a little longer and 
occupies about the distal third of the wing; a rather broad hyaline band between the two; 
cilia proximad of the hairless line dense, twice coarser, about 10 lines. Head and thorax 
delicately reticulate and with numerous, distinct but minute setigerous punctures, the scutellum 
polished but with faint traces of scaliness proximad and with a few scattered setigerous 
punetures. Propodeum with a weak median carina, the surface nearly smooth. Pubescence 
not conspicuous. 
From one female taken in jungle, March 5, 1914. 
Habitat: Gordonvale (Cairns), Queensland. 
Type: No. Hy 3141, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the specimen on a tag; hind tibia, 
head and a fore wing on a slide. 
OMPHALENCYRTUS new genus. 
Female :—Antenn inserted below the middle of the face, 9-jointed with no ring-joint, 
the club long, 3-jointed, the incisions faint. Abdomen rather stout, longer than the thorax, 
the ovipositor short, inserted toward tip, not extruded. Middle tibial spur normal for the 
family. Axille wedge-shaped, meeting at meson or nearly. Mandibles with the second tooth 
truncate. Eyes not convergent. Wings present, the marginal vein about twice longer than 
wide, the stigmal and postmarginal veins still shorter. Scape a little compressed. With the

1. OMPHALENCYRTUS WALLACEI new species. Genotype. 
Female :—Length, 0.75 mm. 
Dark metallic green, the wings hyaline, the cox concolorous, also the pedicel above; 
antenne and legs pallid white except hind femur and proximal two thirds of hind tibia which are 
concolorous. Club longer than the funicle. Incisions of abdomen showing as more or less 
distinet whitish cross-stripes. Pedicel not much over a third the length of the club, distinctly 
longer than any of the funicle joints of which 1 is longer than wide and plainly the longest, 
the others wider than long, 2 and 3 subequal, shorter than 4 which is not much wider than 
jong. Pedicel nearly twice the length of funicle 1. Thorax finely scaly. 
Deseribed from one female caught January 2, 1913 by sweeping forest (A. P. Dodd).
