AUSTRALIAN HYMENOPTEBA CHALCIDOIDEA, IV.—GIRAULT. 203- 



12. ACHRYSOCHARIS MAYRI new species. 



Female: — Length, 1.20 mm. 



Like magnified but smaller and the axillae and the propodeum (except at immediate- 

 meson) are yellow; the meson of scutellum is metallic only to middle from base and the tip 

 of the abdomen is somewhat more broadly metallic but not as much as with pulclira. 

 Funicle 2 longer than 1 which is subequal to the pedicel. Mandibles with a weak third 

 tooth. Hind wings with a half dozen lines of discal cilia where widest. Fore wings sub- 

 truncate at apex. Scutum roughly scaly. Parapsidal furrows about half complete. Green 

 stripe across base of abdomen distinctly abbreviated laterad. Two marginal spots of 

 abdomen more obscurely joined. 



From one female labelled "10.10.13. Sweeping forest. G. F. Hill." 



Habitat: Port Darwin, Northern Territory. 



Type: No. Hy 2516, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the specimen on a slide. 



Dedicated to Gustav Mayr. 



13. ACHRYSOCHARIS NOVIMACULATIPENNIS new species. 



Female: — Length, 0.S0 mm. 



Exactly similar to maculatipennis except that the spot on the fore wing extends all 

 the way across the blade and all the femora are dusky, also the tibiae just below the knee?. 

 The first club joint is a little shorter while the second funicle joint is subquadrate. Mandibles 

 tridentate, the third tooth much shorter than the other two. 



From one female captured by sweeping edges of jungle, January 15, 1914 (A. P. Dodd). 



Habitat: Gordonvale (Cairns), Queensland. 



Type: No. Hy2517, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the specimen on a slide. 



This species differs from Achrysocliarella dubia Girault in having the cross-stripe- 

 of fore wing uniform, not accented under the stigmal vein and the fore wings are narrower. 



14. ACHRYSOCHARIS ZAOMMOMOMORPHA new species. 



Female: — Length, 1.80 mm. 



With the habitus of Zaommomyiella. Dark metallic blue green, the abdomen dull 

 brown except within broadly across base, the wings hyaline, the legs (except coxae) and 

 scape, pallid dusky. Eest of antenna black. Pedicel longer than any of the following 

 joints. Funicle 1 shortest of the flagellum (except distal club joint), about half the length 

 of the pedicel, longer than wide; funicle 2 and club 1 subequal, much longer than wide, 

 each a fourth shorter than the pedicel. Club 3 with its body conic-ovate and subequal in 

 length to the terminal spine which is prominent. Scape dusky toward tip. Mandibles 

 short, tridentate, the two inner teeth paired, shallowly separated, the outer tooth stouter 

 and deeply, broadly separated from the others. Parapsidal furrows complete. Pronotum 

 mesad glabrous rather broadly. Scutum coarsely reticulated, the lines raised; scutellum finer, 

 mesad Avith the lines longitudinal, there the polygons elongate. Propodeum snbglabrous, with 

 a short neck which is brown and several irregular earing) along the meson (a pair of separated 

 median carinae and a half carina from caudad laterad of these, apparently). Apex of scutellum 

 mesad smooth. Postmarginal vein longer than the short stigmal, the marginal very long, the 

 fore wings very broad. Abdomen conic-ovate, longer than the rest of the body, its proximal 

 fifth dark metallic green. Axillae barely advanced. Caudo-mesal corner of each parapside 

 glabrous broadly. Propodeum with a semicircular half lateral carina from caudad and a com- 

 plete sulcus just laterad of spiracle.
