AUSTRALIAN HYMENOPTERA CHALCIDOIDEA, VIII.—GIRAULT. 201 
the same, there being no parapsidal furrows. Stigmal and postmarginal veins long and subequal. 
Mandibles tridentate, at least on one side. Second abdominal segment only a fourth the length 
of the body of the abdomen. Funicle joints transverse, all much shorter than the pedicel. 
Maxillary palpi 3-jointed, the labial 2-jointed. 
1. LELAPSOMORPHA MYERSI Girault. Female. Genotype. 
Length, 2 mm. 
Ferrugineous, the proximal half of the abdomen yellowish with one or two cross stripes 
of fuscous, the other half blackish, the lateral carinw of the propodeum darkened. Legs 
yellowish brown, the caudal coxa dark with a distinct purplish tinge proximad exteriorly, the 
caudal tibia fuscous. Antenne dusky yellowish, the club and distal two funicle joints yellowish 
white. Fore wings with a straight-margined brown stripe across it at the submarginal vein 
just out from apex where the stripe itself is accented in the form of a deeper colored round 
spot by a roundish cluster of hooklet-like black spines; distad a very large subspherical 
brownish spot across the wing from the postmarginal vein, the middle of its proximal margin 
narrowly joining the middle of the proximal stripe so that when looking up the wing (apicad) 
the large spot looks not unlike the bag of a gas balloon attached to the basket below it. Thorax 
with polygonal reticulation (scaliness), the scutum with obscure thimble punctures. First 
funicle joint only about twice the length of the ring-joint, the funicle widening distad. 
Habitat: Port Lincoln, South Australia. 
Type: No. 1.1270, South Australian Museum, Adelaide. 
URIOLELAPS new genus. 
Female :—Differs from Lelaps Haliday in that the antenne are 13-jointed with two 
very short ring-joints, the club only 2-jointed. Secutellum with a punctate cross-suture at 
distal two thirds. Petiole of abdomen distinct, plainly longer than wide, segment 2 occupying 
about half the surface. Parapsidal furrows curved, converging caudad, not quite complete 
caudad and tending to join there obtusely, barely missing caudal margin; the short, semi- 
circular parapsides are thus narrowly connate caudad, the scutum obtusely conical distad. 
Distal segment of abdomen long-conical, over half the length of segment 2, the ovipositor 
‘slightly exserted. Mandibles tridentate. Antennz inserted on a line with the ventral ends of 
the eyes. Marginal cilia of fore wing short. Maxillary palpi 4-jointed, the last joint much 
the longest; labials 3-jointed. 
1. URIOLELAPS ARGENTICOXZE new species. Genotype. 
Female :—Length, 2.84 mm. 
Dark reddish brown, the cephalic and caudal cox silvery white; funicles 3-7, the short 
parapsides, distal end of scutum and the very short projecting ovipositor valves black; fore 
wings trifasciate, the third stripe at apex, the second largest, from the postmarginal vein, the 
first next longest, subcrescentic, from about distal two thirds of marginal vein; base of wing 
also infuscated. Venation with many stiff black bristles; postmarginal and stigmal veins long, 
the first longer. Abdomen, scutellum distad of cross-suture and propodeum glabrous. Petiole 
rather coarsely, longitudinally striate. Propodeum with a median carina to the neck and with 
a eross-carina distad of middle whose arms are obliqued latero-caudad and then abruptly 
change angle to caudad running to the short neck; several other irregular carine laterad; 
Spiracle round. Rest of thorax densely scaly reticulate, bearing scattered, long black sete 
and also many more short black ones (all cephalad of transverse suture of scutellum, the same
