AUSTRALIAN HYMENOPTERA CHALCIDOIDEA, XIV.—GIRAULT. 359 
All of my own descriptions were made from the normal position as described by Comstock 
and they are from single specimens unless otherwise stated. 
Glossarial.—Certain terms need explaining. The term forest has been used to designate 
the major floral grouping of the Australian Continent usually termed bush and characterized 
by the open-spaced arrangement of the trees and much grass; such trees as the various gums 
and wattles are characteristic. By jungle is meant an entirely different flora like that of the 
forests of the American continents, characterized by density and the presence of much moisture; 
the various species of fig form examples of this flora. Forest streamlets are usually fringed 
with jungle and these fringes when broadened form jungle pockets. The chalcidoid fauna of 
the two flora is quite distinct. 
Anatomically, my term parapsides means the true sculwm while my term scutwm is 
anatomically the true prescutum. My term propodeum means the entire dorsal region of the 
thorax caudad of the mesopostscutellum. In counting the abdominal segments, the first body 
segment is counted as segment 2. The ovipositor is said to be exserted only when its valves 
are also. The term legs includes the coxe. By the comparative terms a little, somewhat and 
distinctly, I express degrees in the order given. Funiecle 1 is a little longer than wide when it 
is just perceptibly so; it is somewhat longer than wide when the fact is obvious and it is 
distinctly longer when the obviousness is very patent and distinct. The lateral carina on the 
propodeum is taken to mean a carina between the meson and the spiracle but always nearer 
the latter than to the meson. 
Anomalous Genera.—Attention is especially directed to those genera whose relation- 
ships are doubtful. The following should be noted: Huryischomyia Girault of the Elasmide ; 
Diparellomyia and Hetreulophus of the Eulophide; the gallmaking genera of the Perilampide.* 
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS. 
The individual collector of specimens has been acknowledged throughout. The Directors 
of the following museums have very kindly loaned collections for study: The Queensland 
Museum at Brisbane, the National Museum at Melbourne and the South Australian 
Museum at Adelaide. Mr. A. P. Dodd and myself have made extensive collections for over a 
period of two and a half years but these were necessarily confined to certain sections of 
Queensland only; 30,000 or more specimens were obtained, mostly by use of the sweeping net. 
To Dr. R. Hamlyn-Harris, who edited the series, I owe very much, more especially for 
his personal efforts in having Parts VII to XIV printed. My greatest obligations, however, 
are to my wife, who bore patiently and willingly the drudgery connected with copying out the 
rough descriptions and arranging them in the form of legible manuscript. 
ADDITIONS. 
After the manuscripts had been copied out I have been able to add the following species. 
Famity MYMARID AH. 
1. GONATOCERUS PACHYSCAPHA new species. 
Female :—Length, about 2 mm. Belongs to the renani group. 
Jet, the following parts bright golden yellow: The slender bulla of the scape, pronotum, 
propleurum and proventer excepting a faint central, dusky, longitudinal line on the pleurum, 
legs except the jet hind tibie and last two pairs of coxe, the dark brown middle tibia and 
three distal joints of hind tarsi; face and margins of eyes all around; also more obscurely, 
* Also Cameron’s eurytomid genera. Walker’s species need careful revision.
