about twelve teeth, the first five larger, subequal, the sixth and seventh confluent at base,. 
small like the others following. Segments of abdomen with several rows of pin-punctures-. 
(dorso-laterad on 2). 
Habitat: Kuranda, Queensland. From chrysalids of Cethosia cydippe, jungle, May. 
Type: No. Hy 8374, Queensland Museum, Brisbane. 
24. CHALCIS RUSKINI new species. 
Female:—Lenegth, 5 mm. 
Similar to rubrifemur but the face along the antenne, the vertex and all of the dorsal 
mesonotum bears noticeable but moderately sparse pubescence, the hind femur beneath with 
eleven teeth, the abdomen is red beneath centrally only. In this species the additional 
pubescence appears like fine down when seen from laterad (in outline), none noticeable on 
the scutellum proximad of the apical pubescence. The third abdominal segment in both 
species bears several rows of pin-punctures along cephalic margin followed by very fine 
punctures. Tip of club dark red. 
Differs from rufifemur as far as can be told merely in having more teeth on the hind 
femur and in having the small amount of red on abdomen beneath. Compared with type of 
rubrifemur. 
Described from two females, minutien-mounted, captured October 17, 1913 (H. Hacker). 
Habitat: Brisbane, Queensland. 
Types: No. Hy 3375, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the above specimens (two pins).

along the middle portion, lemon-yellow. A lemon-yellow spot on extreme apex (dorsad) of 
hind femur. Face below antenne, cheeks, metapleura just above hind coxa and apex of 
scutellum with shining white pubescence; scutellum terminating in two distinct obtuse teeth. 
Hind femur beneath with twelve teeth, none large, the first largest, the last three or four 
very small, the rest subequal. Postmarginal vein thrice the length of the stigmal, the marginal 
over twice the length of the postmarginal. Propodeum coarsely foveate, the spiracle enormous, 
like a large slit, curved, five or more times longer than broad at the end, narrowest at the 
middle. Pedicel very short, cupshaped; funicle 1 longest, longer than wide, 2 only slightly so,
