Genus SELITRICHODELIA Girault. 13 

 1. SELITEICHODELIA AURIOS Girault. 

 The type locality is Brisbane, Queensland. 



2. SELITRICHODELIA TRIM ACULOS A Girault. 



A synonym of SyntomospTiyrella quadrimaculata Girault. 



3. SELITRICHODELIA QUADRIMACULATA Girault. 

 Antea, p. 247, line 2 of the description, trimaculata read trimaculosa. 



4. SELITRICHODELIA CULEX new species. 



Female: — Length. 1 nun. 



Differing from the genotype in having a glazed sculpture or nearly glazed. Black, the 

 wings hyaline, the head, antenna} and legs except coxae, lemon yellow; also dorsum of abdomen 

 at meson near apes, more or less so. Mandibles tridentate. Postscutellnm somewhat yellowish, 

 nearly reaching the abdomen, the propodenm very short at the meson, the median carina 

 extremely short, no true lateral carina? but a short carina leading directly from the spiracle, 

 curved to caudal margin then reascending cephalo-laterad. Funicle joints all distinctly shorter 

 than the pedicel, 2 a little the largest, all somewhat wider than long. Club without a terminal 

 spine, ovate, somewhat longer than the funicle. 



From one female captured in forest, December 24, 1911. 

 Habitat: Double island (mainland) near Cairns, Queensland.- 



Type: So. Hy 3637, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the specimen on a tag, the head on a 

 slide. 



5. SELITRICHODELIA MESMERI new species. 



/■ - mah : — Length. 1 mm. Abdomen conic ovate, longer than the thorax. 



Agrees with the description of trimaculosa but there is no dusky spot on the scutellum 

 ami the spot at apex of each axilla is a little smaller. There is a minute black dot at the 

 extreme latero-caudal apex of the pronotnm in both species. Mandibles tridentate. Propodeum 

 very short. 



From one female captured in forest, April 16, 1914 (A. P. Dodd). 



Habitat : (loncurry, Queensland. 



Type: Xo. Hy ?6S8, Queensland Museum. Brisbane, the specimen on a slide.

Dedicated to Franz Anton Mesrner. 



6. SELITRICHODELIA TRANSVERSIFASCIATUS new species. 



Female: — Length, 1.45 mm. 



Like Tetrastichus Haliday but the club is solid and the scape eonvexly compressed 



ath as in many encyrtine genera but not really foliaceousiy dilated but rather broadly 



compressed; two distinct, rather large ring-joints. Abdomen conic-ovate. Wings normal. 



Mandibles tridentate. Propodeum hidden at the meson by the postscutellum, without lateral 



carina-. Median sulcus of scutum faint. 



Honey yellow, the wings hyaline, the venation dusky, the body marked with black as
