AUSTRALIAN HFMENOPTERA CHALCIDOIDEA, IV.—GIBAULT. 227 



-valves black. A long cuneate piece adjoining the axilla and distinctly caudad of it extending 

 -along each side of scutellum to the latter 's middle is concolorous with the axilla. Funicle 3 

 longer than pedicel by a little. 



From one female captured in forest, January 2, 1913 (A. P. Dodd). 



Habitat: Gordonvale (Cairns), Queensland. 



Type: JSTo. Hy 3566, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the female on a tag. 



10. OOTETRASTICHUS SUBFASCIATIVENTRIS new species. 



Female : — Length, 1.17 mm. 



Very similar to fasciativentris but the abdomen bears three cross-stripes (and an 

 obscure fourth at apex) on somewhat over distal third, preceded by three marginal spots, 

 the proximal pair at base; also the general coloration is golden yellow and the black valves 

 of the ovipositor are distinctly extruded. Mandibles tridentate. 



From one female captured in foirest, January 14, 1912. 



Habitat: Capeville (Pentland), Queensland. 



Type : Xo. Hy 2567 , Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the female on a slide. 



11. OOTETRASTICHUS SEPTEMGUTTATUS new species. 

 Female: — Length, 1.20 mm. 



Pale lemon yellow, the wings hyaline, the body marked with dark metallic green as 

 follows: A subcordate marking on cephalic third of scutum, a diamond-shaped spot on 

 lateral angle of pronotum, axilla? and a large area just latero-caudad of it, propodeum 

 except along the meson, three wedgeshaped marginal spots on abdomen (increasing in size 

 distad, the third at distal two thirds, their acute apices pointing mesad), a round spot at 

 the meson at distal three fourths and opposite to this at the margin a very minute dot. 

 Yalves of ovipositor black. Funicle 1 distinctly much longer than 2 or 3 which are subequal 

 and somewhat shorter than the pedicel. Mandibles tridentate. Stigmal vein long. Propo- 

 deum with a median carina and no others excepting a very narrow carina just laterad of the 

 spiracle. 



From one female captured by sweeping forest, March 28, 1914. 



Habitat: Gordonvale (Cairns), Queensland. 



Type : Xo. Hy 2568, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the specimen on a slide. 



12. OOTETRASTICHUS PULCHRINOTATUS new species. 

 Female: — Length, 1.30 mm. 



Bright golden yellow, the wings hyaline, the antenna? dusky black. Marked with 

 dark metallic green as follows: A peltate area on face just ventrad of insertion of antennae, 

 ocellar area, pronotum, parapsides, axilla?, a subcordate area on cephalic scutum along about 

 cephalic third and not reaching laterad to margins, scutellum between first grooves, distal 

 two thirds of scutellum between first and second grooves, hind coxa and propodeum; 

 abdomen wirh a spot at center of base, lateral margins from base a short distance, then five 

 large marginal spots between end of lateral marginal green and apex, these spots in the 

 shape of an elbow, parallel with and along the margin a short distance then proximad 

 turned mesad a short distance, the mesal arm slight on first pair, increasing distad, long 

 on fifth pair and approaching each other (as regards the fifth pair), forming an interrupted 

 (at meson) cross-stripe. A narrow cross-stripe between fifth marginal spot and apex. Valves 

 of ovipositor black at tip. Distal two funicle joints nearly equal, a little longer than the 

 pedicel, 1 much longer, over twice longer than wide. Third tooth of mandible obliquely 

 truncate. Propodeum with a median carina and, apparently, a lateral carina directly from 

 spiracle. Distal half of mesopleurum metallic green. 



From one female captured by sweeping forest, April, 20, 1914. 



Habitat: Gordonvale (Cairns), Queensland. 



Type: Xo. By 2569, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the female on a slide.
