joints subquadrate. The broad black band around centre of first two tibie open along lateral 
aspect. Compared with type of albitegula. 
From one female caught March 29, 1914 (A. P. Dodd). 
Habitat: Halifax (Ingham), Queensland. 
Type: No. Hy 3379, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the specimen on a tag. 
A. CHALCIS ROBUSTA BOREALIS new variety. 
Same as the typical form but the hind femur beneath with ten teeth, the last minute. 
From a specimen sent by G. F. Hill from Port Darwin, Northern Territory; no type. 
29. CHALCIS BROWNINGI new species. 
Female :—Length, 4.95 mm. 
Black and closely allied with multicolor, dipterophaga and ruskini. From the former it 
may be distinguished by the differently colored legs (also the hind tibia is black to tip in 
multicolor, the proximal elongate spot separated from the knees by black; here, distad the hind 
tibie are broadly yellowish white and also the proximal end, in other words, the two usual 
elongate spots exteriorly extend to their respective apices) ; also in multicolor the teeth on the 
scutellum are longer and segment 2 of abdomen dorsad is glabrous. From dipterophaga this 
species differs in that the proximal spot on dorsal caudal tibia reaches the knee, not isolated from 
the knee as in that species, the scutellum is less emarginate at apex, the main coloration of the 
legs is different and so on. From ruskini in the same particulars enumerated for dipterophaga 
except that in ruskini the scutellum at apex is much as in this new species. The species 
ruskimi also lacks sculpture on segment 2 of abdomen dorsad. Legs except the concolorous 
coxe, brick red, the knees, each end of tibiz (very broadly in caudal tibiz) and the tarsi 
pale yellow; tegule white. Club suffused with red. Otherwise black. Segment 2 of abdomen 
polygonally scaly, also the following segments (but the sculpture consisting of dense, minute, 
pin-punctures) each of which bears several rows of setigerous, thimble punctures; segment 7 
with many of these punctures, 8 carinate along the meson. Propodeum foveate, with a pair 
of distinct median carine. Hind femur with eleven teeth ventrad, the first twice or more the 
size of the others but not especially large, the last four minute, comblike.. Second tooth 
on hind femur next smallest after the distal four. Hind coxe reddish ventro-distad. Abdomen 
slightly reddish along meson of venter. Funicle joints wider than long except the first which 
is a little longer than wide; distal funicle joints widest and shortest. Funicle 2 quadrate, 
somewhat longer than the pedicel. Postmarginal vein about twice the length of the stigmal; 
less than half the length of the marginal. 
From one male and one female labelled ‘‘ 1-2-14. No. 33. G. F. Hill,’’ and stated to 
have been captured. 
Habitat: Port Darwin, Northern Territory. 
Types: No. Hy 8380, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, one male, one female on a tag, the 
female antenna on a slide with type appendages of Stomatoceras hazlitti. 
30. CHALCIS SHELLEYI new species. 
Female :—Length, 2.50 mm. 
Exactly similar to browningi but smaller, segment 2 of abdomen dorsad is glabrous 
and the apex of scutellum truncate. Funicle 1 a little wider than long, the others still 
wider. 
From one female captured April 18, 1914 in forest (A. P. Dodd). 
Habitat: Cloncurry, Queensland. 
Type: No. Hy 38381, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the female on a tag. 
Dedicated to Perey Bysshe Shelley.
