NEW CHALCID FLIES FROM AUSTRALIA. 207 



•Costal cell entirely ciliated. Club | funicle. Scutum with white, 

 loose lying-down pubescence. 



A female south-east Queensland. 



7. Trichogramma minim, sp. nov. — Trichogramma australicum 

 in Girault, ' Memoirs Queensland Museum,' vol. hi, 1915, p. 153. 



Specific character the minute bladder-like appendages on 

 antennas. From eggs of Chilo, Java. Form ought to be named 

 until its characteristic is known to be trilling, foreign or acci- 

 dental. 



AustralomphalE; gen. nov. Omphalini. 

 As Closteromphale, but stigmal nearly perpendicular to mar- 

 ginal, a bit shorter than postmarginal, a short slender neck, a 

 moderately large knob studded with short seta? ; abdomen dis- 

 tinctly compressed, ovipositor extruded ^ abdomen's length, 

 above it a compressed stylus over | its length. Prothorax conical. 

 Scape coarsely serrate on one edge. Jaw 3 truncate. Setae 

 from venation gross. 



8. A. auriceps, sp. nov. — Genotype. Blue, wings clear, a deep 

 cross-stripe from stigmal knob ; head, legs save coxae, the femur 3, 

 the tibia 3 at basal |, golden. A wide coppery median stripe on 

 dorsal thorax (save propodeum). Funicle H longer than wide or than 

 pedicel, 4 quadrate. Club with no terminal armature. 



Nelson, A. P. Dodd, August. 



9. Australomphale varicomis, sp. nov. — Same, but dorsal thorax 

 of one colour, head concolorous, wings clear, scape save slightly at 

 apex, nearly proximal f of funicles 2-4 white (club not seen). Coxae, 

 femur 3, femur 1 or 2 beneath and above more or less, tibiae 1 or 2 

 at apex, above and below on each side of middle and near base above, 

 dusky ; tibia 3 save apex, white. Stigmal knob and base of mar- 

 ginal jet, with a cluster of short jet hairs (that base marginal absent 

 in genotype). Funicle 1 nearly 3 times longer than wide. 



Nelson, November, 1920, A. P. Dodd. 



Australoodera, gen. nov. Eupelmiui. 

 As Eupelmus, but scutellum with a tuft of bristles near apex, 

 a smaller, looser one at base of the thickening of submarginal. 

 Ovipositor equal abdomen. 



10. A. varicomis, sp. nov. — Orange, purple as follows : Scape 

 above at distal | and a spot at basal J, beneath to middle from basal 

 J ; pedicel, funicles 1-2, 7-8, 3 above widely ; 'cheeks centrally ; ab- 

 domen except beneath at base rather widely, scutum at distal | 

 between the ridges, base coxa 3, propodeum, 2 cincti on tibia, 2 on 

 basal | ; ovipositor valves save basal ^ of distal 1. Silvery as follows : 

 Scape," funicles 3-4 save as noted, funicles 5-6, space between 

 cincti of tibia 2, coxa 3. Fore wings embrowned from the tuft to 

 apex, 4 eye-spots, 1-2 opposed to each other and at margins. Post- 

 marginal £ longer than the short stigmal. Scape clavate ; pedicel 

 elongate, equal funicle 3 which is longest, 3 larger than wide, 1
