AUSTRALIAN HYMENOPTERA CHALCIDOIDEA, XIV.—GIRAULT. ola 
yellow. Wings slightly stained throughout, the venation smoky. Pubescence not conspicuous, 
with a reddish tinge. Secrobicular cavity nearly smooth, shining; head and thorax rugoso- 
punctate, the propodeum mesad (dorsal aspect) foveate, the abdomen glabrous but the distal 
segments finely, polygonally sculptured. Lateral ocelli distinctly more than their own 
diameter from the eye margin. Plate at apex of seutellum distinctly bilobed. Propodeum 
in the dorso-lateral aspect with at least one tooth-like projection, its lateral aspect moderately 
hairy but not conspicuously so. Posterior femora beneath with one moderately large tooth, 
followed by ten others which are smaller distad, all the ten much smaller than the first. 
Antenne 13-jointed, the single ring-joint large, the pedicel as long as funicle 1 which is 
somewhat wider than long, the remaining joints all wider than long except the middle club 
joint which is longest; distal funicle joints transverse; flagellum clavate, somewhat compressed. 
Habitat: Warburton, Victoria. 
Types: No. Hy 1178, Queensland Museum, Brisbane. 
16. CHALCIS PERFLAVIPES new name. Female. 
Tumidicoxa flavipes Girault. 
Length, about 5 mm. 
Like the South American species of Tumidicoxa but the plate at the apex of scutellum 
is not emarginate at the meson or barely so. Opaque black marked with lemon yellow as follows: 
The tegule except at extreme base (cephalad), tibiz and tarsi except the brownish base of 
posterior tibia and parts of the distal tarsal joint, distal half of cephalic femora, distal third 
of intermediate femora and the tip of the caudal femora. Legs otherwise black, reddish black 
on femora and tibie of first two legs; venation and antenne brownish black, the latter really 
black, brownish toward tip. Wings perfectly clear. Body rugoso-punctate, the second abdominal 
segment shining. Pubescence not conspicuous. Antenne 13-jointed, cylindrical, with one ring- 
joint, the pedicel small, wider than long, not half the length of the proximal funicle joint which 
is the longest joint of the flagellum. Distal club joint obliquely truncate at tip. Distal funicle 
joint slightly wider than long, the middle joints subquadrate. Scape short, simple. Posterior 
femur beneath armed with twelve teeth the first of which is twice longer than the others, the 
last three each distinctly smaller in succession, the last very small. The teeth are black and 
they rather increase in size at the middle (Nos. 5, 6 and 7 from proximal end). Posterior 
femur minutely punctulate, clothed with soft greyish pubescence. Lateral ocelli are somewhat 
farther away from the eyes than in rubrivenitris. 
Hatitat: Dandenong Mountains, Victoria. 
Type: No. Hy 1179, Queensland Museum, Brisbane. 
One male, Brisbane, March 28, 1913 (H. Hacker) from larva of Ephistia cautella. 
17. CHALCIS VICTORIA (Girault). Male. 
Tumidicoxa victoria Girault. 
Length, 6.1 mm. Rather large. 
Like the preceding but larger, more robust, the plate at apex of scutellum plainly 
bidentate, the scape longer, the black parts of the legs darker and specifically the cephalic 
tibie are brown in the middle, the intermediate ones black along proximal half except at base 
and the posterior ones black in the middle, their tips pale yellowish. The posterior femora 
beneath bear nearly the same arrangement of teeth but there are eleven followed by a minute 
tubercle; numbers 3 and 4 are larger than 2 and those distad of them. The posterior cox 
bear a flabellate enlargement of its apex above. The antenne 13-jointed; the distal funicle 
joints more transverse than with perflavipes. Wings hyaline. 
Habitat: Dandenong Range, Victoria. 
Type: No. Hy 1180, Queensland Museum, Brisbane. 
One female, South Brighton, Victoria, ‘‘41. Nat. Mus., Victoria.’’
