AUSTRALIAN HYMENOPTERA CHALCIDOIDEA, XIV.—GIRAULT. 3 
is 
or 
~Il 
Nearly entire body finely punctate; most of mesal surface of hind femur glabrous. Meson 
of segment 2 of abdomen carinated. Scrobes deep, reaching cephalic ocellus. Stigmal vein 
unequally forked at apex, a little shorter than the marginal, the postmarginal vein elongate, 
five times the length of the marginal. Caudo-lateral angle of propodeum acute. Fourth or 
distal joint of maxillary palpus elongate. Incisions between segments 2 and 3 of abdomen 
deep. Lateral ocellus distant from eyes. Cephalic coxa long but only two thirds the length 
of cephalie femur. 
From one female captured January 28, 1913 (H. Hacker). 
Habitat: Brisbane, Queensland. 
Type: No. Hy 3435, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the specimen on a pin. 
EPEXOCLAINOIDES new genus. 
1. EPEXOCLZNOIDES BICINCTUS new species. Genotype. 
Female: 
Length, 9 mm. Differs from the genotype of Wxoclenoides in having the 
postscutellum simple, the caudal coxa above without a tooth, the small teeth on the caudal 
femur ventrad very minute and comblike, numerous; also, the cephalic coxa is a little shorter, 
the ovipositor much shorter, just reaching the dorsum from around the apex. Dark red, the 
following parts black: Head, cephalic margin of scutum rather narrowly, cephalo-lateral angle 
of same subquadrately and mesad of the lemon yellow lateral margin of scutum, a rounded 
spot on propodeum on each side of meson, lateral margin of propodeum (followed laterad by 
yellow), segment 4 of abdomen except ventro-laterad and on each side of the yellow band 
mentioned later, segment 5 of abdomen, valves of ovipositor, mesopleurum (except a rectangular 
yellow marking mentioned later); cephalic cox, proximal third or more of cephalic tibie 
caudad, middle coxe and center of middle femur caudo-ventrad; mesal face of caudal coxe, 
latero-cephalic face of same at base, latero-caudal face of same except at dorsal edge at base 
and whole of ventral edge, the red widening ventrad; a large subquadrate black area from 
ventral edge nearly to dorsal or mesal aspect of caudal femur commencing a little out from 
base and extending two thirds the way to apex; a round spot on lateral aspect of same near 
dorsal edge just out from base. The following parts lemon yellow: The short, stout scape, 
cephalic margin of pronotum, a narrow band across pronotum just before its caudal edge and 
abbreviated laterad, lateral margin of scutum, a longer (ventro-dorsad) than wide area on 
cephalic mesopleurum, its cephalic margin red, metapleurum except cephalic edge (red) and 
caudad (black which runs on to the propodeum), caudal margin rather broadly of the scutellum, 
two distinet encircling bands on abdomen, the first at apex of proximal third (segment 3, all 
of its dorsal aspect), the second at apex of proximal three fourths (just under apex of 
ovipositor and at distal fourth of segment 4), both ending ventro-laterad; apex on 
each side of ovipositor; distal third of cephalic and middle femora caudad, dorsal and 
cephalic aspects of cephalic tibiae, cephalic and middle knees, middle tibie; all tarsi; 
extreme dorsal corner of caudal coxa; dorsal aspect of caudal tibia except at base; distal 
two thirds of caudal femur along dorsal edge rather broadly. Caudal femur with one 
large tooth followed by many comblike ones. Densely punctate. Face and distal two thirds of 
abdomen fuzzy, rest of body less distinctly so. Fore wings smoky under distal two thirds of 
venation and distad to apex, broadly so distad of stigmal vein to and around apex. Also, a 
rather large, long-triangular (base distad) spot on caudal femur along ventral edge (lateral 
aspect) just out from base is lemon yellow. 
Pedicel short, a little shorter than funicle 1 which is narrower proximad than distad; 
funicle 2 slightly longer than 1, slightly longer than wide, the following joints gradually, 
slightly shortening; club 4 very short, 1 large, wider than long. 
From one female captured January 15, 1912 (H. Hacker).
