AUSTRALIAN HYMENOPTERA CHALCIDOIDEA, XII.—GIRAULT. 287 
stigmal vein. Antenne black, the distal third of the club whitish, the funicle brown. Caudal 
cox bluish. Proximad on the fore wing, at middle of submarginal vein, is an irregular 
cross-stripe of smoky brown; this may be absent. Funicle 1 longest, subequal to the pedicel, 
the two distal] joints barely longer than wide. Mandibles tridentate, the inner tooth much 
shorter and truncate, the outer two subequal, acute. Scutellum glabrous caudad of the trans- 
verse suture. Exserted portion of the ovipositor not as long as the body. 
Habitat: Gordonvale (Cairns), Queensland. Forest, December 2, 1912. Not abundant. 
Types: No. Hy 3313, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, two females on tags, a head on a 
slide. ' 
2. PODAGRIONELLA BELLA Girault. Female. 
Length, 2.25 mm., excluding the extruded ovipositor which is a little longer than the 
abdomen. 
Like Podagrion hyalina Girault but the legs all yellow-brown, the trochanters, tarsi, 
distal fifth of hind coxa and proximal half of hind femur, white. In the hind femur, a dusky 
spot at upper edge near distal third, the teeth black; prolongation of hind tibie somewhat 
longer and more curved than usual. Abdomen wholly purplish black, tegule yellow-brown; 
abdomen without a petiole but stalked. Funicle black-brown, the club black, the pedicel and 
scape yellow-brown. Posterior femora beneath with nine teeth, the last tooth yellow, the 
eighth tooth a mere tubercle, teeth 1, 3 and 4 longest of the black teeth, the ninth as large 
as 1 or nearly; teeth 5-8 a descending series of heights. First funicle joint longest, nearly 
as long as the pedicel, the last three joints plainly wider than long, joint 4 (funicle) quadrate; 
club plainly not as long as the funicle. Propodeum with irregular fovew, rugose, no median 
carina, the apex of the scutellum smooth and shining distad of the transverse suture, the 
head and thorax otherwise scaly and usual. 
Habitat: Gordonvale (Cairns), Queensland. Jungle, May 11, 1913. 
Type: No. Hy 3314, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the female on a tag; an antenna 
and a caudal leg on a slide. 
8. PODAGRIONELLA PENTLANDENSIS Girault. Female. 
Length, 5.10 mm., exclusive of ovipositor. 
Very similar to the type of the genus but the antennal club darkens at tip, the flagellum 
reddish brown, the pedicel darker. The abdominal petiole is shorter, very short, wider than 
long; the distal two funicle joints are slightly wider than long; the cross dash on the fore 
wing is the only fuseation present in these wings. The whole body is more robust, the abdomen 
stouter and longer. Otherwise, structurally, like fasciatipennis with which I have compared 
it but the postmarginal vein is plainly not twice the length of the stigmal.* 
Habitat: Capeville (Pentland), Queensland. Forest, January 6, 1913. 
Type: No. Hy 3315, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the female on a tag and a slide 
bearing the caudal femur and the head. 
GENUS PROPODAGRION Girault. 
Differs from Podagrionella Girault in having the club 3-jointed and from Podagrion 
in bearing a cross-suture on the scutellum; the postmarginal vein is twice the length of the 
stigmal and the propodeum is concave and lacks a median earina. 
1. PROPODAGRION WORCESTERI (Girault). Female. Genotype. 
Podagrion worcesterit Girault. 
Length, 2.75 mm., excluding ovipositor which is about the same length. 
Agreeing somewhat with washingtoni Girault in coloration but the legs are yellow- 
brown, the tarsi white while the yellow on the abdomen is dull and at sides and venter of base; 
* The femoral teeth appear to have been overlooked.
