AUSTRALIAN ETMENOPTEBA CHALCIDOIDEA, IV.—GIfiAULT. 293 



broken marginal stripe of abdomen extends not qnite to tip. Funicle 1 a little over twice longer 

 than -wide, 2 and 3 each a little shorter than 1, 4 ovate, distinctly shorter than 1. Antennas 

 inserted somewhat below the middle of the face, the latter smoother ventrad of antennas. Club 1 

 the longer. Postmarginal vein somewhat longer than the stigmal. Scutum with some silvery 

 pubescence. Type re-examined. 



2. NOTANISOMORPHOMYIA PERSIMILIS new species of A. P. Dodd and Girault. 



Female: — Length, 1.80 mm. 



Very similar to the genotype but dark metallic purplish, the legs golden yellow; scutum 

 and scutellum with rather weaker reticulation, the reticulation cephalad on the scutum (in 

 ■albicoxa Girault the scutum and scutellum are wholly densely reticulated) ; wings stained 

 yellowish; cross-earina of propodeum joining the median carina at cephalic fourth (in the 

 middle in al~bicoxa) ; mandibles with 6 teeth. 



From one female captured by sweeping grass and foliage on edge of jungle, December 19, 

 1912 (A. P. Dodd). 



Habitat: Kuranda, Queensland. 



Type: No. Hy 2710, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the specimen on a tag, the head on 

 :a slide. 



• The reticulation is similar in both species (coarse, raised lines) but in persimilis some- 

 what less prominent and gradually disappears cephalad on the scutum. (A. A. Girault.) 



Genus ALOPHOMOEPHA Girault. 



Synonym: Diaulomyia Girault. 27 



1. ALOPHOMORPHA PULCHRA Girault. 



Length, 2 mm. In the original description, line 6, scutellum should read scutum. Head 

 sculptured like the axillse. Scape white, rest of antenna black. Abdomen sculptured like the 

 propodeum (except segment 2). The type was captured May 26, 1913 and is on a tag, an 

 antenna and hind leg on a slide. 



Segment 2 of abdomen a sixth or less the length of the abdomen, a little the longest; 

 stigmal vein a third the length of the marginal. The scutellum is sculptured as is usual for the 

 body sculpture in the Tetrastichini. A large fovea at caudal margin of propodeum, caudo-mesad 

 of spiracle. Caudal femur compressed. Type re-examined. 



EULOPHOMOEPHA new genus of A. P. Dodd. 



Female : — Head, cephalic aspect, not much wider than long ; viewed from above no wider 

 than thorax. Mandibles with about nine or ten small teeth ; . antennas inserted near the mouth, 

 10-jointed, with two ring, three funicle and three club joints; funicle joints not compressed; 

 club wider than funicle. Marginal vein as long as submarginal, many times longer than the 

 short stigmal, the latter as long as the postmarginal. Posterior tibia? with two rather long apical 

 spurs. Pronotum short, scutum rather long; axilla? much advanced, scutellum simple; pro- 

 podeum with a distinct median carina, no lateral carinas but there are rather delicate spiracular 

 sulci and caudo-laterad of the spiracle there are some blackish bristles. Abdomen sessile, convex 

 above, straight beneath, no longer than the head and thorax united and no wider than thorax, 

 second segment the longest, occupying scarcely a third of the surface; ovipositor somewhat 

 exserted. 



27 This is not true. Diaulomyia is characterized by the compressed funicle and club but otherwise closely 

 TPsembles Alophomorphella asperitergum. The smoky blotch on the fore wing of the genotype is separated a little 

 from the marginal vein. A female of the genotype at Tweed Heads (Tweed River), New South Wales, 500 feet, 

 May 3, 1914 (A. P. Dodd).
