AUSTRALIAN HYMENOPTERA CHALCIDOIDEA, XIV.—GIRAULT. 349 
PARANACRYPTUS new genus. 
Female :—Differing from Anacryptus Kirby in having the antenne but 11-jointed, the 
club solid; a large (but much wider than long) ring-joint is present. 
1. PARANACRYPTUS SANGUINEUS new species. Genotype. 
Female :—Length, 5 mm. 
Dark blood red, tarsi yellowish brown, the abdomen blurred more or less with black. 
Wings irregularly but distinctly stained yellowish along the proximal two thirds. Segment 2 of 
abdomen occupying nearly two thirds the surface, the petiole long, subequal to segment 2 
or the hind coxa, coarsely longitudinally striate. Postmarginal vein and marginal fringes 
absent (fore wing), the stigmal minute, sessile, the marginal three fourths the length of the 
submarginal. Ocelli in a slightly curved line. Seutellum simple. Head and thorax imbili- 
eately punctate, the surface glabrous between the punctures. Abdomen compressed, cordate. 
Propodeum much more finely punctate and the dorsum bears several carine, two of which are 
on the meson, slightly diverging from base and shorter than the others. Abdomen glabrous 
but with slight pubescence distad. Tip of club black. Scape slender; pedicel very short, 
smaller than any of the funicle joints of which 1 is longest, distinctly longer than wide, 2 
distinctly shorter than it, a little longer than wide; following joints to 7 subquadrate, slightly 
enlarging distad. The club has a dark red stripe across it making it appear to be 2-jointed 
but there is no suture; these stripes also occur on the funicle joints. Face along meson 
without punctation. Face not excavated. Hind coxe punctate, the hind femur punctulate. 
Described from one female taken April 2, 1913 (H. Hacker). 
Habitat: Brisbane, Queensland. 
Type: No. Hy 3419, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the specimen on a tag. 
2. PARANACRYPTUS HYALINUS new species. 
Female :—Length, 4 mm. 
Similar to the preceding in all details but smaller and the wings are hyaline. Compared 
with type of sanguwineus. 
Described from one specimen taken in forest, April 27, 1914. 
Habitat: Gordonvale (Cairns), Queensland. 
Type: No. Hy 3420, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the specimen on a tag. 
Genus ANACRYPTUS Kirby. 
1. ANACRYPTUS FERRUGINEUS Cameron. Male. 
Length, 5 mm. 
Ferrugineous; antenne lighter in tint; mesonotum, scutellum, mesosternum, and dilated 
apical part of abdomen infuscated, two hinder legs darker in tint than the four anterior; 
abdominal petiole fully one half the length of the thorax, and longer than the rest of the 
segments united; wings hyaline, very iridescent, venation black. 
Head and thorax strongly, umbilicately punctate, less strongly and more sparsely on 
sides of vertex and in middle of occiput, lateral lobes of mesonotum less strongly and more 
sparsely than the middle one; scutellum as strongly, but not so closely, its apex broadly rounded, 
and with a distinct margin. Propleure with two punctures above and two below. Mesopleure, 
at the top apical part, with a squarish, smooth space, having one fovea in middle of base and 
three below; apical basal part closely, finely, longitudinally striated, more strongly and less 
closely at top; the rest strongly punctured, with the punctures clearly separated. Metanotum
