fovea on each side of the median line at about distal 

 two thirds. Propodeum smooth, without carinae or 

 sulci, the spiracle small. 



(From 11 specimens, the same magnification.) 



Male: Not known. 



Described from- eleven females obtained e n 

 massée from one of the same galls as those in 

 which Mestocharis cyanea lives. Nelson, N. Q. Decem- 

 ber 2, 1912. 



Habitat: Australia-Nelson (Cairns), Queens- 

 land. 



Types: In the Queensland Museum, Brisbane, 

 two females mounted on a slide in xylol -balsam. 



Achrysocharis new genus. 



Female: Similar to Chrysocharis Foerster, but 

 the postmarginal vein slightly shorter than the stig- 

 mal, the antennae with the funicle 2-jointed, the club 

 3-jointed, the thü-d joint terminating in a spinelike 

 seta, the pedicel subequal to or slightly longer than, 

 the moderately long, cylindrical funicle joints, the 

 single ring- joint minute ; flagellum filiform. Parapsidal 

 furrows distinct only for cephalic two thirds. Wings 

 hyaline. Propodeum very short, its spiracle minute, 

 round, carinae absent. Yellow marked with brilliant 

 metallic green. Abdomen long, conic-ovate, pointed. 



Male: Not known. 



Type: The following species. 



1. Achrysocharis magnifica new species. 



Female: Length, 1,75 mm. 



Pale cadinium yellow marked with deep metallic 

 green as follows: The head excej)t the face ventrad 

 of the antennal bulbs; the pronotum, all of raesoscu- 

 tum except latero-caudal halves of each parapside, 

 base of abdomen in the dorsal aspect, the propodeum 

 except laterad, a narrow line down the median line 

 of the scutellum for about proximal two-thirds and 

 the cephalic third of the axillae. A dark round spot 

 (dorsal aspect) on each side of the abdomen about 

 the middle, the space between them darkened (across 

 the meson). Tip of abdomen dusky laterad. Scape 

 pale, the antennae yellow. Legs whitish, including 

 the coxae. Body densely polygonally reticulated, the 

 mesoscutum more roughly, being almost punctate. 

 A more or less obscure brownish area laterad of the 

 scutellum, cephalad of the propodeal spiracle. Pedicel 

 subequal in length to the proximal funicle joint, the 

 proximal club joint distinctly wider than long. Tip 

 of o\'ipositor valves black. 



(From one specimen, similarly magnified.) 



Male: Not known. 



Described from a single female specimen captured 

 by sweeping in a forest at Nelson, N. Q., December 3, 

 1912 (Alan P. Dodd). 



Habitat: Australia-Nelson (Cairns), Queens- 

 land. 



Type: In the Queensland Museum, Brisbane, 

 the above specimen on a tag. Later, four females 

 were reared from a lot of miscellaneous galls 

 from forest trees. Nelson, December 12, 1912. In 

 these specimens the green line of the scutellum was 

 barely indicated, the axillae not at all colored, the 

 basal stripe of the abdomen very thin. The propodeum 



was also with no green. I designate this form as the 

 variety varicolor. 



2. Achrysocharis fulchra new species. 



Female: Length, 1,90 mm. 'Like the tjrpical 

 species but the metallic green on the scutellum does 

 not form a straight line down the median line but 

 is much broader and ovate in shape, variable in size ; 

 the metallic green stripe across the base of the ab- 

 domen is longer and the tip of the abdomen black. 

 Moreover, the pedicel is longer, longer than the pro- 

 ximal funicle joint, the proximal club joint shorter 

 but still longer than wide. 



(From two specimens.) 

 Male: Not known. 



Described from two females captured with mag- 

 nifica. This species has the same color pattern 

 as magnifica and is probably but a variety 

 of that species since it is scarcely different structurally. 



Habitat: Austraha-Nelson (Cairns) , Queens- 

 land. 



Types: In the Queensland Museum, Brisbane, 

 the two females mentioned, on tags (2 pins).

Stimmt im Geäder mit der Gattung Brachychira 

 Auriv. '^) überein; der Rippenverlauf ist aber ge- 

 drängter, nicht gebogen, was wohl von der veränder- 

 ten Flügelform abhängig sein dürfte. Flügelform 

 gestreckt, Vorderrand nahe der Spitze gebogen, 

 Hinterrand fast gewinkelt, nicht abgerundet wie bei 

 Brachychira Auriv. Seiteirrand statt konvex konkav. 



Da von Brachychira Auriv. bis nun nur zwei $ 

 bekannt sind, so wäre es auch denkbar, daß dem 

 männlichen Charakter der Gattung Brachychira eine 

 heteromorphe Flügelform eigen wäre. So langp aber 

 keine ^ von Brachychira elegans Auriv. oder ferru- 

 ginea Auriv. ^) bekannt sind, ist diese Vermutung hin- 

 fällig; die Aufstellung der Gattung Harpandrya er- 

 scheint uns daher vom kritischen Standpunkte für 

 berechtigt. 



Harpandrya aeola m. nov. sp. (Textfigur). 

 Die sichelförmigen Vorderflügel sind an der Basis 

 schmal, der Vorderrand dem Apex zu stark gebogen; 

 der konvexe Seitenrand verläuft schräge, vorne 

 spitzig, hinten gewinkelt. Vorderflügelfarbe rot-
