AUSTRALIAN HYMENOPTERA CHALCIDOIDEA, VIII—GIRAULT. 195 
rather short stigmal. Abdominal segment 2 longest, together with 3 occupying two thirds of 
the surface. Parapsidal furrows complete. The ring-joint in one antenna appeared to be 
divided. 
Dark metallic green, the wings hyaline, the legs except hind coxz which are more or less 
concolorous, straw yellow; scape straw yellow, the flagellum black. Pedicel wider than the 
filiform funicle, the club still wider; joints 2 and 3 of funicle subequal, each nearly as long as 
the pedicel, all the funicle joints longer than wide, the sixth or last shortest, the first subequal 
to the pedicel. Thorax reticulated. 
Habitat: Gordonvale (Cairns), Queensland. Jungle, June 16, 1913 (A. P. Dodd). 
Type: No. Hy 3182, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the female on a tag, the head and 
caudal tibiz on a slide. 
TOXEUMORPHA new genus. 
Like Toxeuma Walker but the scutellum without a cross-furrow, the mandibles strongly 
4-dentate. The three carine of the rather long, punctate propodeum are obtuse and much as in 
Pachycrepoideus. Antennz 13-jointed with two ring-joints. Pronotum transverse. Segments 
2 and 3 of abdomen occupying four fifths of the surface, long, subequal.

Length, 1.65 mm. 
Black with a faint suffusion of green, the wings hyaline; legs and venation yellow-brown, 
the coxee jet black; postmarginal vein a little longer than the stigmal, shorter than the marginal. 
Thorax finely punctate. Antenne black, the scape, pedicel and two ring-joints yellow-brown, 
the funicle joints all much shorter than the pedicel, the distal three a little wider than long, 
2 and 3 quadrate, 1 a little longer than wide and narrower than the others. 
Habitat: Brisbane, Queensland. From a window in a wool-house, October 3, 1911. 
Type: No. Hy 3184, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, a female on a tag, the hind legs and 
head on a slide.

Length, 2.60 mm. Short and stout. 
Agreeing with the generic description except that the propodeum lacks the median 
carina. 
Bright metallic coppery green, the abdomen polished; coxe# concolorous, femora and 
tibie bright yellowish reddish; the knees, distal half of posterior tibiz and the tarsi pale straw 
yellow; antennal scape bright reddish; rest of antennez yellow suffused with dusky. Wings 
hyaline; venation golden yellow, the marginal vein a half longer than the long stigmal, the 
postmarginal nearly as long as the marginal. Head and thorax densely punctate, the propodeum 
slightly more finely so. Propodeum short and broad, with lateral carinew. Parapsidal furrows 
complete. Head large, a little wider than the thorax. Abdomen compressed above, convex 
beneath, no longer than the thorax, the petiole short and stout; second abdominal segment 
occupying almost half the surface, remaining segments subequal. Mandibles 3- and 4-dentate. 
Antenne 13-jointed with three ring- and three club joints; funicle 1 distinctly longer than 
pedicel, almost twice as long as wide, 2 subequal, 3-5 shortening, 5 almost quadrate; club 
searcely longer than funicle 1, its first joint as long as the other two combined. 
Habitat: Kuranda, Queensland. Jungle (1,100 feet), September 16, 1913 (A. P. Dodd).
