AUSTRALIAN HYMENOPTERA CHALCIDOIDEA, XII—GIRAULT. 283 
distal funicle joint a little longer than each of the three club joints. Clypeal area yellow. 
Mandibles bidentate. Body, including propodeum and abdomen, finely scaly, the propodeum 
without a median carina. Postmarginal vein twice the length of stigmal; ovipositor twice the 
length of the tubular part of abdomen, as long as the body. 
Habitat: Gordonvale (Cairns), Queensland. Jungle, June 4, 1913. 
Lype: No. Hy 8303, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the female on a tag, the head on 
a slide. 
A second female March 29, 1914, jungle at Halifax (Ingham), Queensland and one 
at Gordonvale, April, 1913. The propodeal spiracle is minute and far caudad; ventral half 
of the face yellowish. 
2. PHILOTRYPESIS SILVENSIS new species. 
Female :—Length, 2.50 mm., excluding segment 7 of abdomen and ovipositor. 
Golden yellow; abdomen with a broad median stripe of black, commencing out from 
base and running to about the middle where a complete narrow cross-stripe terminates it; about 
its middle it projects laterad; a little farther distad another cross-stripe, twice broader than 
the other and obtusely conically prolonged distad at the distal meson. An elongate spot at 
meson. Also the meson of the tube which is somewhat longer than the rest of the abdomen, 
the portion of the ovipositor beyond it a little longer than the body. Scape four times the 
length of the pedicel, yellow, dusky toward tip; rest of antennew black; funicle 1 longest, a 
little longer than the pedicel, the distal joint longer than wide. Mandibles bidentate. The 
first funicle joint is distinctly longer than wide (in angela it is quadrate). Like the other 
species. 
Seven females from a fig, in jungle, January 21, 1914 (A. P. Dodd). 
Habitat: Gordonvale (Cairns), Queensland. 
Type: No. Hy 3304, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, a female on a tag, the head on a

3. PHILOTRYPESIS ANGELA new species. Female. 
Length, 2.26 mm., excluding the black ovipositor which is nearly as long as the body. 
Deep pinkish orange, the wings hyaline, the legs and scape concolorous, the flagellum 
dusky. Three transverse black spots across meson of abdomen, the first (proximal) smallest, 
all more or less triangular; also a black dot at meson, apex of fifth segment and which is 
nearly joined to the narrow, black dorsal surface of the (following) two produced or tubular 
segments of which the apparent second is shorter. Postmarginal vein longer than the stigmal. 
Propodeum with three (apparent) delicate and obscure sulci at meson, separate; scutellum 
simple but together with the scutum with a median longitudinal impression. Thorax finely 
reticulated. Antenne 13-jointed, three ring and club joints, the funicle joints only slightly 
longer than wide and more or less equal. Mandibles bidentate. 
Habitat: Ayr, Queensland. Forest, November 6, 1912. 
Type: No. Hy 3305, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the female on a tag, the head on 
a shde. 
4. PHILOTRYPESIS LONGICAUDA new species of Girault and A. P. Dodd. Female. 
Almost exactly similar to angela but funicle 1 is plainly longer than wide, the club 
joints are less distinctly separated but the sutures distinct, the three ring-joints are concolorous 
with the scape while the three marks on abdomen along the meson are not transverse spots 
but round dots; the fourth (distal) one is V-shaped and then attenuate caudad along the 
meson to segment 7. The delicate sulci on the propodeum are obscure in both species. 
Habitat: Gordonyale (Cairns), Queensland. Forest, December 4, 1915. 
Type: No. Hy 3306, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the female on a tag, the head on a 
slide.
