AUSTRALIAN HYMENOPTERA CHALCIDOIDEA, VII.—GIRAULT. 175 
coarsely so, the propodeum subglabrous, short at meson. Venation dark. Proximal half of 
scape except bulla and apex of pedicel, lemon yellow. Fore wing densely ciliate discally, the 
hairless line very broad and but obscurely defined proximad by scattered minute cilia. Club 
conic-ovate, rather large; pedicel large, nearly a half longer than wide at apex, longer than any 
funicle joint; funicle 1 longest, not quite twice longer than wide, 2 and 3 subequal, subquadrate, 
shortest, 4 and 5 subequal, widest, a little longer than wide. Scape subequal to the club, a 
little compressed. 
From one female caught in forest, June 4, 1914 (A. P. Dodd). 
Habitat: Copmanhurst (Upper Clarence River), New South Wales. 
Type: No. Hy 3152, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the specimen on a tag; head, hind 
tibize and a fore wing on a slide with type Achrysopophagus oviductus. 
2. ARHOPOIDEUS SECUNDUS new species. 
Female :—Slightly smaller than the genotype and differing in having the seape all black, 
shorter and stouter, the caudal femora and tibiz washed with dusky. Also, the frons is moderate 
and the scutellum black-green. Compared with type of genotype. 
From one female caught on forest uplands, May 28, 1914 (A. P. Dodd). 
Habitat: Maclean (Clarence River), New South Wales. 
Type: No. Hy 3152, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the specimen on a tag with type of 
brevicornis, head and a fore wing with slide type of Signiphora beethoveni. 
PARECTROMOIDELLA new genus. 
Female :—In my table of genera runs to Kctromoides from which it differs in having 
the postmarginal vein much shorter than the stigmal and the hind tibial spurs single. 
1. PARECTROMOIDELLA THACKERAYI new species. 
Female :—Length, 1.10 mm. 
Dark metallic purple, the prothorax except apex of neck and caudal margin dorsad, 
the head and the scutellum, orange yellow, the face slightly washed with purple. Legs con- 
colorous except middle femur, a ring at base of caudal tibiew a little out from knee and the 
tarsi which are silvery white. Cephalic tibia brownish. A small elliptical purplish spot on 
seutellum mesad at about middle. Axillz orange caudo-laterad, with a distinct carina between 
them. Fore wings hyaline but with a broad subquadrate smoky cross-stripe from about distal 
third of submarginal vein to apex of postmarginal (broken centrally by an elliptical hyaline 
area against the venation—submarginal and marginal veins—and distad immediately followed 
by a naked hyaline cross-band about a third of its width). Distad rest of fore wing lightly 
dusky and more finely ciliated. Hairless line of fore wing closed at both ends, proximad of it 
about eight lines of cilia. Venation black, the marginal vein about five times longer than wide, 
slightly longer than the stigmal which is about twice the length of the postmarginal. Fuscous 
stripe of fore wing proximad coterminous with the discal ciliation. Scape long, slender, distad 
a little dilated ventrad (apex), distinctly longer than the club which is about half the length of 
the funicle and ovate, not much enlarged; pedicel slender, two and a half times longer than 
wide at apex, distinctly longer than funicle 1 which is a little the longest, somewhat longer 
than wide; funicle 6 a little wider than long. Scape serrate along the dorsal edge. Frons 
moderately narrow, convex, not prominent but the facial impression deep. Lateral ocelli not 
quite their own diameters from the eyes. Cheeks not half the length of the eyes. Mandibles 
slender, with equal, acute teeth. Scutellum with scattered black hair (a pair of long ones near 
apex), the scutum with short greyish pubescence. Body scaly. Abdomen pointed. Thorax with 
numerous minute setigerous pin-punctures. Pronotum transverse-linear, inverse V-shaped (dorsal 
aspect). Propodeum laterad with rather dense silvery pubescence, the spiracle minute. 
Scutellum not quite reaching the abdomen.
