AUSTRALIAN HYMEXOPTESA CHALCIDOIDEA, LF.—GIBAULT. 185 



2. PSEUDACRIAS CHALYBS Girauit. 



Antea, p. 150, most of the generic diagnosis (exceptionally) refers to this species and 

 not to the genotype which was included later. 



Pronotum polished except along cephalic margin; there is a broad smooth path down 

 the meson of scutellum but laterad on this sclerite there are long polygons formed by 

 reticulation. Abdominal petiole a little wider than long. 



3. PSEUDACRIAS SALVUS new species. 



Female: — Length, 1.25 mm. 



Black, the wings hyaline, the tips of the tibiae and the tarsi white ; segment 2 of abdomen 

 occupying about half the surface, the abdomen slender, flat. Propodeum tricarinate at the 

 meson. Pro- and mesonotum polygonally reticulated, the scutellum longitudinally striate. 

 Cephalic half of parapsidal furrows obsolete or nearly, caudad plainly indicated by depressions 

 just mesad of each axilla. Joints 2 and 3 of funicle plainly wider than long, the first club 

 joint slightly so, funicle 1 globular. Antennas wholly black. Abdomen dorsad finely reticulated. 

 Mandibles with two distinct outer teeth. Spur on club prominent. 



Male : — Unknown. 



Described from one female captured from the foliage of an imported citron tree in a 

 clearing near the jungle, October 29, 1912. 



Habitat: E'abinda, Queensland. 



Type: Xo. Hy3458, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the above specimen on a tag. 



EXTEDONOMYIA new genus. 



Female: — Head normal, the vertex broad, the antennas 9-jointed with two ring-joints, 

 tbe club solid, the funicle 4- jointed, the joints petiolate. Pronotum distinct, transverse, the 

 parapsidal furrows complete. The scutellum simple, the propodeum with lateral carinas and 

 two median carinas which diverge somewhat and which are rather widely separated. Post- 

 marginal and stigmal veins very short. Petiole of abdomen distinctly longer than wide, the 

 second abdominal segment occupying about half the surface, the others short. Hind tibial 

 spur single, long and stout. 



Male: — Xot known. 



1. ENTEDONOMYIA PLATONI new species. Genotype. 



Female: — Length, 1.'15 mm. 



Dark metallic green, the abdomen blue, the wings hyaline; tibias and tarsi pale yellowish. 

 Second abdominal segment and propodeum glabrous; rest of abdomen scaly, the petiole densely 

 so. Thorax coarsely polygonally scaly, a small triangular area at meson of base of scutellum 

 glabrous; on each side of this there is an appearance of longitudinal converging striation which 

 distad farther gives way to the scaliness. Scutum with long yellowish hairs (six or so). 

 Pedicel small, oval, much smaller than any of the funicle joints, of which the first is longest, 

 somewhat longer than wide, stout, 4 a little wider than long, somewhat longer than the pedicel. 



From one female caught by sweeping in jungle, May 20, 1913. 



Habitat: Gordonvale (Cairns), Queensland. 



Type: Xo. Hy 2484, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the specimen on a tag; head and 

 hind leg on a slide. 



" A female sweeping in forest near Cairns, December 24, 1911 (A.A.G.). Parapsidal 

 furrows distinct." (A. P. Dodd.)
