AUSTRALIAN HYMENOPTERA CHALCIDOIDEA, XII.—GIRAULT. 293 
GeNuS PACHYTOMOIDELLA Girault. 
This genus differs from Podagrion Spinola in having the club solid and enlarged, the 
distal four funicle joints transverse, the club as long as the funicle. The scutellum lacks the 
cross-suture before apex and the postmarginal vein is only a little longer than the stigmal. 
Corrected description. 
1. PACHYTOMOIDELLA MAGNICLAVUS Girault. Female. Genotype. 
Length, 3 mm., exclusive of ovipositor which is not quite as long as the body, 
Metallic wneous green, the venter of abdomen, the tibiw, the scape, pedicel and funicle, 
brown; club and valves of ovipositor black. Wings hyaline, the postmarginal vein short but 
nearly twice longer than the stigmal. Posterior femora beneath with seven large teeth. 
Polygonally sculptured. Median carina of metathorax and propodeum divided just out from 
origin, then diverging. Scutum rougher, punctured. Antenne 11-jointed, the club large and 
ovate as in Polynema, as long as the funicle whose first joint is longest, subquadrate, the distal 
four funicle joints more than twice wider than long. 
Habitat: Gordonvale (Cairns), Queensland. Jungle, April 5, 1913. 
Type: No. Hy 3321, Queensland Museum, Erisbane, the female on a tag. 
GENUS PACHYTOMOIDES Girault. 
Differs from Podagrion Spinola in lacking a ring-joint in the antenne; the sculpture of 
the scutellum at apex is abruptly smoother indicating the cross-suture. 
1. PACHYTOMOIDES MIRUS Girault. Female. Genotype. 
Length, 5 mm., excluding the long, slender aud curved ovipositor which is fully 7 mm. 
long. (See the third species. ) 
Bright metallic green, the propodeum and head metallic bluish, the abdomen red 
except broadly at base above, the fore and intermediate legs brown including their coxe, 
the posterior legs reddish brown at the knees, tarsi, tips of tibix, proximal two thirds of the 
swollen femur and distal third of the long subtriquetrous posterior coxa. Ovipositor very 
thin, fuscous, its valves black. Fore wings irregularly, lightly stained with brownish, the 
venation black. Eyes red, the ocelli darker red. Antennw with the scape and pedicel brown, 
the remaining joints black. Head and thorax very finely reticulately punctate; abdomen 
tapering at base but not petiolate, strongly compressed. Ocelli distant from the eyes. Pro- 
podeum with larger reticulate punctures, its dorsum rounded, without a median carina. Post- 
marginal vein twice the length of the stigmal, the marginal very long, not much shorter than 
the submarginal. Distal fourth of scutellum and the mesopostscutellum smooth but finely 
closely polygonally reticulated. Proximal abdominal segments with very minute pin-punc- 
tures, the distal segments glabrous. Posterior coxa seulptured like the postscutellum, the 
posterior femur beneath armed with nine large, black, unequal teeth, the first (proximal), eighth 
and ninth largest, the latter stoutest, triangular, tooth 8 longest, columnar, the seventh next 
to the shortest, paired, that is a bidentate erect plate, the two dentations here counted as 
separate teeth though united at base, the two teeth equal; teeth 4 and 5 unequal, also more 
or less united at base, tooth 2 shortest, obtuse, nipple-like. 
Antenne inserted in the middle of the face, 13-jointed, the funicle filiform but its 
distal joint widening somewhat, becoming wider than long; scape simple, not as long as 
the club; pedicel somewhat longer than the first funicle joint; joint 2 of funicle longest, 
joint 3 next, the distal joint shortest; joint 5 subequal in length to the pedicel, the following 
funicle joints all shorter; club joints nearly equal, the distal one slightly the longest. 
Propodeum at apex carinated (a semicircle). Stigmal vein with a very short neck. Joints 
2 and 3 of tarsi slender. 
Habitat: Brisbane, Queensland. May 20, 1911 (H. Hacker). 
Type: No. Hy 1191, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the female minutien-mounted, 
the antenne and a hind femur on a slide.
