AUSTRALIAN HYMENOPTERA CHALCIDOIDEA, 1X.—GIRAULT. 209 
Funicle joints all longer than wide, 5 shortest, subequal to first club, 1 longest, about twice 
the length of 5, the others each shortening perceptibly, 1 about thrice longer than wide. 
Seutellum and scutum with umbelicate punctures which are not dense, each isolated, the 
scutellum without them at apex and along meson at distal half. Space between the punctures 
very finely reticulated. Axille a little more densely reticulated, the punctures absent except 
along cephalic and mesal margins. Parapsides like the axille but the punctures on lateral 
half. Propodeum finely scaly, the three carine strong, only moderate in length but complete. 
Habitat: Kuranda, Queensland. Jungle, September, 1913 (A. P. Dodd). 
Type: No. Hy 3200, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the female on a tag; head and hind 
legs on a slide. 
2. CHEIROPACHYSIA TENEBRICOSA new species. Female. 
Length, 2.85 mm. 
At once differing from the type species in having the propodeum very short and 
nonearinate, the mandibles tridentate and the abdomen stylate caudad. Purple copper, the 
wings subhyaline, the cox concolorous, the legs white washed more or less with salmon. Scape 
reddish brown, rest of antenna black except the club which is white. Stylus about two thirds 
the length of the rest of the abdomen. Funicle 5 quadrate, 1 longest but plainly not twice 
the length of the pedicel, 4 and 5 subequal, subquadrate, slightly longer than 5. Seulpture 
about as in the genotype. 
Habitat: Kuranda, Queensland. Jungle, September 12, 1913 (A. P. Dodd). 
Type: No. Hy 5201, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the female on a tag; head and 
hind legs on a slide. 
GENUS EPICAUDONIA Girault. 
With the build of EHpistenia Westwood but the abdomen noncarinated along each side, 
the second, sixth and seventh segments longest. Head rather large, the antennae 13-jointed, 
inserted in the middle of the face, three ring and club joints, the first funicle joint elongate. 
One mandible 4-dentate (other not seen). Parapsidal furrows four fifths complete. Seutellum 
simple. Pronotum transverse, the propodeum without a median carina but with a fovea more 
than half way to the round oval spiracle from the meson at cephalic margin. Postmarginal 
vein three fourths or more the length of the marginal, the stigmal about half the length of 
the marginal. Like Caudonia Walker otherwise. Anterior femora distinctly swollen, the posterior 
still much more so but neither are excised nor dentate. Wings subhyaline, the infumation very 
faint or totally absent. Stigma] knob small. Caudal coxe flattened. Spiracular sulci present. 
1. EPICAUDONIA SCELESTUS Girault. Female. Genotype. 
Length, 3.90 mm. 
Dark metallic green, the mesothorax with rather inconspicuous pubescence somewhat like 
that of Aplastomorpha. Tegule, venation, trochanters, knees, tarsi, scape, pedicel and joints 2 
and 3 of funicle reddish brown; antenne black; tips of tibiz white. Thorax finely reticulately 
punctate (including the propodeum). Legs concolorous. First club joint forming half of 
that region, the distal funicle joint distinctly longer than wide but less than half the length 
of the first; joints 2 and 3 subequal, 4 about equal in length to the pedicel. The three ring- 
joints large. 
Habitat: Meerawa (Cairns District), Queensland. Jungle, July 26, 1913. 
Type: No. Hy 3202, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the female on a tag; head, a fore 
and hind leg on a slide. 
NEOCAUDONIA new genus of A. P. Dodd. 
Antenne inserted a little above ventral ends of the eyes, 12-jointed with two ring and 
two club joints, the club with a terminal spur; funicle joints somewhat lengthened, the pedicel 
not lengthened. Head large (cephalic aspect), not distinctly wider than long, antennal scrobes
