New Chalcidoid Genera and Species from 
Paraguay.*) 
By 
A. A. Girault (University of Illinois, Urbana, Illinois, U. $. A.). 
Early in March, 1911 I received a second consignment of 
Chalcidoidea from the director of the Königl. Zoologisches Museum 
at Berlin, a first consignment having already been reported upon 
by me (Girault, 1911). As time allowed I have worked at this 
larger consignment and submit the following paper on about a 
third of the specimens included within it, for the reason that 
much delay has already resulted and also because this much of 
a second report had been completed for some time and was in 
more or less danger of becoming lost or destroyed. The specimens 
also are in more or less danger from mould and consequently I 
am anxious to have them returned to their place of deposit as 
soon as possible. It is hoped that a report on the remaining 
specimens can be made within a month or two. 
When described, all of the specimens were taken as being 
in normal position (as designated by Comstock). 
Family Chaleididae. 
Subfamily Chalcidinae. 
Tribe Chaleidini. 
Thaumateliana new genus. 
Female: — Body large, long, the abdomen produced into a 
long stylus as in T’haumatelia Kirby and Megalocolus Kirby. 
Head normal, the antennal scrobes deeply excavated, forming 
a continuous scabrous conical cavity, with the cephalic ocellus at 
its extreme apex, its sides acute or carinate and the bulbs separated 
at the base of the cavity by a short median carina. Antennae 
inserted slightly below the ventral ends of the eyes, much below 
the middle of the face, filiform, 13-jointed with one ring-joint, 
the club 3-jointed, the apical joint very short, the proximal funicle 
joint longest, one and a quarter times longer than wide at apex, 
the pedicel wider than long or nearly, small; the proximal club

proofsheets to the Author (now in Australia), I myself have undertaken 
to read the proofs. For misprints which may have escaped notice I 
thus only am responsible, the Author is it in no way.
