AUSTRALIAN HYMENOPTERA CHALCIDOIDEA, VIII—GIRAULT. 187 
2. SYSTASIS HENRICI Girault. Female. 
Length, 2.10 mm. 
Dark metallic eneous green, reticulately punctate, the thorax also with obscure thimble 
punctures. Wings hyaline. Legs brownish yellow, the cephalic femora washed with metallic 
green, the posterior femora darker at the middle and submetallic; antenne dusky black, 
12-jointed, with two ring-joints, the club 3-jointed, the funicle joints subquadrate, the first 
longest, slightly shorter than the pedicel; postmarginal vein somewhat longer than the stigmal. 
Mandibles 5-dentate, the three inner teeth minute. Propodeum tricarinate, the scutellum without 
a cross-furrow. Ovipositor not exserted. 
Habitat: King Island, Tasmania. 
Type: No. I. 1344, South Australian Museum. 
3. SYSTASIS GROTIUSI new species. Female. 
Length, 1.75 mm. 
Like henrici but the mandibles without two small inner teeth and all femora and tibie 
are concolorous, the knees and tips of tibie broadly yellow. Propodeum short at the meson. 
Robust and with the habitus of Ormyrus. A few punctures on upper face and vertex and the 
fore tibiz are mostly yellowish. 
Habitat: Gordonvale (Cairns), Queensland. Forest, May and December 2, 1912. 
Type: No. Hy 3165, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, a female on a tag, the head and 
hind legs on a slide. 
4. SYSTASIS SEPOSITUS new species. Female. 
Length, 1.40 mm. 
Bright metallic blue-green, the funicle joints except the first wider than long, the first 
quadrate and twice or less the length of the second which is shortest. Otherwise like grotiusi. 
Club enlarged, ovate. Pedicel longer than any of the funicle joints. In grotiusi, the three 
distal funicle joints are wider than long and the scape is longer. In sepositus the complete 
median carina is very short, the propodeum short. Thus very similar to grotiusi but the antenne 
are shorter, the flagellum brown (black in grotiusi) and the second funicle joint distinctly 
shorter than the first. Abdomen slender, conic, longer than the thorax. 
The propodeum is short and with a median carina in both species and the sculpture is 
identical; but the hind wings in grotiusi are broader. 
Habitat: Capeville (Pentland), Queensland. Forest, January 8, 1913. 
Type: No. Hy 3166, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, a female on a tag, the head and 
hind legs on a slide. 
5. SYSTASIS INSULARIS new species of A. P. Dodd and Girault. Female. 
Length, 1.90 mm. 
Brilliant metallic green, the coxe and femora concoiorous; knees, tibiz and tarsi white, 
the tibiee yellowish centrally, the antennw black, the scape brownish. Thorax densely finely 
reticulate-punctate. Propodeum somewhat finer, short, broad, with a median carina, the 
lateral carina present, abbreviated anteriorly, the spiracle rounded, the spiracular sulci faintly 
indicated. Abdomen somewhat longer than the thorax, wholly finely scaly and with whitish 
scattered pubescence; second segment occupying over a third of the surface. Wings hyaline; 
marginal vein over twice as long as stigmal, the postmarginal a half longer than stigmal. 
Pedicel a little shorter than first funicle joint which is a half longer than wide, the others 
subequal, slightly longer than wide; club joints a little wider than long. 
Habitat: Thursday Island, Torres Strait. Forest, March 11, 1912.
