318 MEMOIRS OF THE QUEENSLAND MUSEUM. 
18. CHALCIS REGINA (Girault). Male. 
Tumidicoza regina Girault. 
Length, 4.95 mm. 
Like perflavipes but more robust, the scutellum terminating in a distinetly bidentate 
plate and the postmarginal vein longer. The scape is also longer. Posterior femur armed with 
twelve teeth, the first large, the next two very small, followed by seven larger ones (of which 
numbers 6 to 9 are longest) and two shorter ones, the last broad, its flat upper edge or apex 
emarginate; thus excluding the first tooth, numbers 6 to 9 are largest. In perflavipes, teeth 
numbers 2 and 3 are not distinctly smaller than the ones immediately following (distad). 
Habitat: Brisbane, Queensland. 
Type: No. Hy 1181, Queensland Museum, Brisbane. 
I have a female of this species from the collections of the Queensland Museum at 
Brisbane labelled ‘‘ Brisbane, May 24, 1911’’ and Mr. Edmund Jarvis, Assistant Government 
Entomologist, has sent me a female of the following new variety. The female of the typical 
form is colored like the male. 
A. CHALCIS REGINA DENTATA new variety. 
Like the typical form but the tegule dark, the postmarginal vein somewhat shorter, not 
distinctly twice the length of the stigmal, the hind femur beneath armed with about nine teeth, 
the first largest but not as large as in the typical form, subequal to teeth 4-7. Compared with 
type of typical form. 
From the pupa of a moth (Pyraustine) on banana. 
Habitat: Maria Creek, Northern Queensland. 
Type: No. Hy 3373, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the specimen on a tag, the antennz 
on a slide. 
19. CHALCIS RUBRIFEMUR (Girault). Female. 
Pseudepitelia rubrifemur Girault. 
Opaque black, the second abdominal segment glabrous black, the posterior femur dark 
reddish, the venter of the abdomen at the meson more or less suffused with dark reddish or 
yellowish; tegule pallid, the wings hyaline, the venation black. Face and distal half of the 
abdomen pubescent. Tarsi more or less brownish. Intermediate and cephalic knees and two 
distinct elongate spots on each end dorsad of the posterior tibia, and not at tip, pale golden 
yellowish. Antenne wholly black, inserted nearly on a line with the ventral ends of the eyes; 
the scrobicular cavity reaching the cephalic ocellus, the lateral ocelli plainly more than their 
own diameter from the eye margins. Cephalic tibiz with the entire cephalic aspect golden 
yellow. 
Body moderately finely, densely punctate, the spaces between the punctures finely lined. 
Third abdominal segment with very minute punctures which vary in size, the following 
segments pubescent and transversely wrinkled, the penultimate segment rougher. Posterior 
femur armed beneath with six moderately large, more or less subequal teeth but the first largest, 
followed distad by four others which shorten in succession; densely punctulate, the punctures 
very minute. Antenne with the distal joint very short, truncate, only about twice the length 
of the ring-joint; scape very long, narrowing distad; pedicel much longer than the ring-joint 
but only half the length of the proximal funicle joint which is longest of the funicle, twice 
the length (or nearly) of the subquadrate distal funicle joint. Proximal two joints of the 
club subequal, the distal joint flat, very short. Postmarginal vein about half the length of 
marginal, slender, the stigmal very short, yet with a distinct neck. Moderate to large. 
Habitat: Cheltenham, Victoria. 
Type: No. Hy 1182, Queensland Museum, Brisbane.
