AUSTRALIAN HYMENOFTEEA CHALCIDOIDEA, V.—GIMAULT. 301 



green. Sculpture of abdomen distributed as in cairnsensis, the third dorsal segment sculptured 

 across proximal half. Club with an apparent fourth joint near tip. Funicle joints wider than 

 long, the first more or less subquadrate. Parapsides uniformly punctate. Head striate. At 

 least one mandible 3 -dentate. 

 Female: — Not known. 



From three males labelled " 42. From Pamong, S. Austr. 8-3-12. S. W. Fulton " ; 

 " 43. From Kirney, S. Austr. S. W. Fulton " ; and " 44. From Pamong, S. Austr. S. W. 

 Fulton. ' ; All minutien-mounted. 



Habitat: South Australia (Pamong?). 



Type: In the National Museum, Melbourne, the specimen labelled " 44 " with a slide 

 bearing the head. 



5. PERILAMPUS LEVIFACIES new species (Girault and A. P. Dodd). 



Male: — Length, 2.50 mm. 



Similar to queenslandensis but the ocelli are nearly in a straight line (distinctly disposed 

 in a triangle in queenslandensis), the vertex caudad of the ocelli is transversely striated (only 

 the occiput in the other species, the sculpture not crossing the occipital margin), the size is 

 much larger, the inner margin of the parapside more broadly glabrous. Propodeum with a pair 

 of f oveate lines down the meson, the f ovesa large, followed laterad, centrally, by a large, smooth, 

 reticulated area. The median foveate lines are separated by a sharp carina and a sharp, curved 

 carina bounds the caudal margin of the smooth area (same in queenslandensis but the smooth 

 area is smaller, its reticulation faint). The species cairnsensis is much stouter, its head is 

 striate, the abdomen minutely, deeply punctured and the metallic tibiae suffused more or less 

 with brownish and the mesal margin of each parapside is punctured like the rest of the meso- 

 thorax. The species is separated from queenslandensis mainly on the difference in the position 

 of the ocelli. 



Female: — Not known. 



Described from one male captured by Mr. F. P. Dodd in October. 



Habitat: Kuranda, Queensland. 



Type: No. HyS748, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the above specimen on a tag. 



6. PERILAMPUS BRISBANENSIS new species. 



Female: — Length, 3 mm. 



This species may be distinguished at once because it bears a short, obtuse tooth-like 

 spine from the center of scutum. Similar to queenslandensis but the ocelli are in a straight line, 

 the face bears scattered pin-punctures, especially ventro-mesad of the eyes (in the other species 

 few and very minute there, less conspicuous), from the cephalic ocellus there runs to the occipital 

 margin a sort of sulcus (rather a depression) and on each side of this there are a few wrinkles. 

 Also in general coloration, the body being deep Prussian blue, the abdomen green distad, the 

 antenna light reddish yellow (not very dark brown as in the other species), the head, scape and 

 pedicel bronze. The abdomen bears fine, faint pin-punctures along the cephalic margin of 

 segment 3 and the distal third of segment 2 as seen from caudal aspect (in queenslandensis the 

 second segment is smooth from caudal aspect) ; segment 3 is absent. The smooth area on the 

 propodeum (in reality, finely scaly) on each side of the median carina is larger and has a much 

 less pronounced fovea just beside the median carina. The stigmal vein is a little shorter in 

 relation to the marginal. Differs from levifacies in the same particulars excepting the 

 characteristics of that species. The male type of levifacies has only two segments on the
