knees, tibiz and tarsi; intermediate knees, tips of tibiz and tarsi (mixed with brownish) and 
the ends of the tibia. Venation dark, the wings hyaline. Head and thorax rugoso-punctate. 
Posterior femur armed with ten distinct teeth, the first twice the largest, the distal teeth 
smaller in succession. Tegule black. Plate of scutellum with straight distal margin. Segment 
2 of abdomen occupying nearly half the surface. 
Habitat: Melbourne, Victoria. Larve of various moths.

10. CHALCIS FROGGATTI Cameron. 
Length, 4 mm. 
Black; anterior tibiz in front and their base and apex behind, middle knees and tarsi 
testaceous; hind femora behind and the upper two-thirds, basal third and apical third of tibie 
red; hind tarsi paler than the others; hind femora closely punctured, their teeth numerous, 
closely pressed together; wings hyaline, the nervures black. 
Head umbilicately punctate, more coarsely above than aiong the sides of front. Pro- and 
mesonotum umbilicately punctate, scutellum more coarsely than mesonotum; metanotum 
coarsely, irregularly reticulated, the sides broadly rounded. Upper part of propleure roundly 
convex, transversely aciculated, the sides broadly rounded, curved furrow, widest below. 
Mesopleure bordered by a row of large, round fovee, upper part smooth on basal half, apical 
weakly striated, this part projecting below the basal; the part under the latter covered with 
deep round punctures, base of apical punctured below, like the basal part but more sparsely. 
Metapleure coarsely reticulated. 
Habitat: Kenthurst, N.S.W. 
11. CHALCIS EUPL@Z Hope. 
‘*An Indo-Malayan species of wide range. Bred from Antherwa simplex; Richmond 
River, N.S.W. (W. W. Froggatt).’’ (Cameron, 1911.) 
This probably refers to Westwood’s species of the same name. 
12. CHALCIS POMONZ Cameron. Female. 
Length, 7 mm. 
Black; head and thorax densely covered with short, white pubescence, abdominal seg- 
ments on the side fringed with long white hair, tegule, apex of four front femora and base 
of their tibie narrowly, apex of tibiz more broadly, apex of hind femora, base and apex of 
tibia (about one third), central black part a little longer than the colored base and apex, 
which are of equal length, and tarsi, white; femoral teeth short, blunt, the basal longer than 
the others; there are about ten teeth, covered with white pubescence; wings hyaline, venation 
black. Closely, rather strongly, umbilicately punctate; puncturation on central lobe of 
mesonotum stronger than on lateral, on scutellum still stronger; the apex of the latter 
projecting and transverse; metanotum irregularly, coarsely reticulated; central basal area
