AUSTRALIAN HYMENOPTERA CHALCIDOIDEA, XIV.—GIRAULT. 345 
jong silvery pubescence, the rest of the body with the silvery pile shorter and sparser, except 
on the mesonotum, where it is short and black; legs covered with white pubescence, which 
is dense, especially on the femora and tibiz. The last abdominal segment and the sheath of 
ovipositor covered densely with short white pile. Antenne longish, of uniform thickness, 
Frontal depression finely, closely transversely, regularly striated to the anterior ocellus, which 
is placed inside it in a smooth shining space; it is bordered by a stout keel, the space between 
which and the eyes is regularly, rather closely and strongly striated. Occiput closely, almost 
transversely, not very strongly rugosely punctured, the punctures on the top larger, and more 
distinctly separated. Pro- and mesonotum, and scutellum moderately strongly punctured, 
the punctures on the mesonotum more widely separated. Metanotum bordered by a stout keel, 
commencing at the outer basal part, where it is roundly dilated, forming almost an oblique 
semicircle from which it runs obliquely to the lower central part, forming a triangular area; 
the keel has two outward projections inside it. In the narrowed basal part, are some oblique 
striae, the innermost larger and rounded inwardly; on base a crenulated furrow; the area is 
bare, but is fringed densely by long silvery hair. Pleure strongly punctured, the depressed 
basal part of the mesopleure bare, shining, strongly striated, the strie clearly separated, 
the central more irregularly sloped than the others. Seen from the top, the metanotum on 
the outer edge is trilobate, the central lobe larger and more rounded. Apex of fifth tarsal joint 
of hind legs and claws, except #t apex, rufous. 
Habitat: Mittagong, New South Wales. 
Type: Query. 
2. ANTHROCEPHALUS ERYTHROGASTER Cameron. Female. 
Length, 5 mm. 
Black; antenne (pale), tegula, legs and abdomen, except back and ovipositor, red; 
wings hyaline, venation black. Frontal depression closely, regularly, not very strongly 
striated, separated from the anterior ocellus by a smooth, slightly curved, flat keel; it is 
separated from the eyes by a broad band which, on the inner side, bears three rows of 
punctures below, two above; the inner side is obliquely depressed towards the eyes and has 
two rows. Thorax on the pro- and mesonotum and scutellum closely, regularly not very 
strongly punctured; apex of scutellum margined, the centre with the keel stronger and 
depressed in the middle, forming two slight lobes narrowed inwardly. The centre of the 
metanotum has, on either side, a stout keel, which runs from the outer basal part to the inner 
central, the two forming a large triangular area. Closely, almost uniformly, not very strongly 
punctured. The narrowed apical part of the scutellum margined, furrowed on the inner 
side, the centre of the apex broadly bilobate, the lobes not prominent. The depressed part 
of the metanotum striated, the striae moderately strong, more or less curved, bordered at 
base and apex by a smooth margin. Abdomen as long as thorax, terminal sheath short, 
broad, blunt at apex. The end joints of the antenne are marked with black. Hind femora 
finely, closely, distinctly and uniformly punctured; below margined with white pubescence. 
Habitat: Glen Innes, New South Wales. 
Type: Query. 
3. ANTHROCEPHALUS CARPOCAPSH Cameron. Female. 
Length, 4 mm. 
Black; flagellum of antenne, tegule and legs, red, tibia darker than femora; wings 
hyaline, venation black; a fuscous cloud at and behind the stigma, not extending much beyond 
the venation; beyond a larger, paler, longish triangular cloud, the narrowed end at the costa, 
it extending beyond the middle. Basal four ventral segments piceous red. Front depression 
deep, faintly striated, the sides transversely striated, with two longitudinal keels, the inner 
stronger and longer than the other, it going round the sides and top of lower ocellus; opposite the 
latter, it forms a flat, smooth, shining keel on which are three fovee. Pro- and mesonotum 
closely, distinctly punctured, the former more closely and finely than the latter, scutellum
