AUSTBALIAN HYMENOPTEBA CHALCIDOIDEA, I.—GIBAULT. 149 



APSEUDOGRAMMA new genus. 



Female: — Differs from Pseudogramma Girault in that the funiele is 1-jointed and the 

 stigmal vein elongate, nearly as long as the marginal, the latter about half the length of the 

 submarginal. Ovipositor inserted at about the middle of the abdomen. Mandibles tridentate. 

 Abdomen no longer than the thorax, obliquely truncate. Hind tibial spur single, short. 



1. APSEUDOGRAMMA POPEI new species. Genotype. 



Female: — Length, 0.58 mm. 



Jet black, the proximal two joints of the tarsi, tips of tibia? narrowly and the scape 

 pallid. Scutum simple, retieulately scaly. Fore wing dusky from base to distad a little over 

 half from apex of stigmal vein to the apex of the blade; venation blackish. Diseal cilia of 

 fore wing moderately dense, subnormal, a line from apex of stigmal vein to apex of wing being 

 about the only one complete and regular; about sixteen lines of diseal cilia across widest part 

 ■of blade but no oblique line from the stigmal vein. Marginal cilia of fore wing short but not 

 extremely short. Caudal wings short, moderate in width, with three complete lines of diseal 

 cilia, two along cephalic margin, the third caudal. Longest (caudal) marginal cilia of hind 

 ■wing subequal to those wings' greatest width, distinctly longer than the longest marginal cilia 

 of the fore wing. Scape short, subequal to club, a little longer than the pedicel, funiele and 

 ring-joint combined. Pedicel longer than the funiele which is a little wider than long. Eing- 

 joint distinct. Club with long, white streaks, funiele with a transverse oblique one proximad. 

 Club blunt at apex. 



From one female captured by sweeping secondary forest growth, May 22, 1914. 



Habitat: Gordonvale (Cairns), Queensland. 



Type: ISTo. Hy2435, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the specimen on a slide with type 

 •of Oligosita inermiclava.

XEOCENTROBIELLA new genus. 



Female: — Differs from CentroMella in bearing two distinct ring and funiele joints and 

 the fore wing lacks the oblique line of cilia from the stigmal vein. 

 Male: — Not known. 

 Type: The following species. 



1. NEOCENTROBIELLA RARA new species. 



Female: — Length, 0.75 mm., excluding the ovipositor which is extruded for a length 

 ■equal to two thirds that of the abdomen. 



Black; median line of scutum and scutellum and lateral margins of scutum, all narrowly 

 golden yellow; head golden yellow; occiput dusky; antennae and legs wholly concolorous; fore 

 wings lightly infuscated from base to apex of venation. Antennas 9-jointed, the funiele 

 distinctly 2-jointed, the first joint one and a half times longer than wide, the second oval, 

 barely longer than wide; two distinct ring-joints; pedicel longer than funiele 1, two thirds 

 the length of the scape which is much shorter than the long, rather loosely jointed club; club 

 2 longest, nearly twice the length of 1, longer than the pedicel; club 1 a little longer than 

 wide; club 3 a little shorter than club 2. Fore wings with about a dozen lines of diseal cilia 

 most of them regular and distinct, the longest marginal cilia not quite half the greatest wing- 

 width; the diseal ciliation is irregular opposite the stigmal ' vein. Caudal wings slender, acute, 

 with two distinct lines of diseal cilia, the caudal marginal cilia barely shorter than the longest 

 marginal cilia of the fore wing. Tarsi slender. Club without a terminal spine but with 

 several short, thick setse from sides of apex. 



Described from one female taken in forest, May 13, 1914. 



Habitat: Gordonvale (Cairns), Queensland. 



Type: No. Hy 2436, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the specimen on a slide.
