AUSTRALIAN HYMEN OPTEEA CHALCIDOIDEA, VI.— GIRAULT. 335 



Described from one female caught by sweeping in jungle, November 1, 1913 (A. P. 

 Dodd). 



Habitat: Gordonvale (Cairns), Queensland. 



Type: No. Hy 2804, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the specimen on a tag, the head on 

 & slide. 



2. ACROCLISOIDES LATICEPS new species of A. P. Dodd and A. A. Girault. 



Female: — Length, 1.75 mm. 



Very similar to megacephalus but the hind coxae also coneolorous, the fore wings hyaline, 

 the postmarginal vein no longer than the marginal, the pedicel only suffused with yellow, the 

 last three funicle joints yellow, ringed with black apically, the abdomen longer, oval, the 

 fourth segment occupying less than a half of the surface, the abdomen not squarely cut off 

 behind it as in megacephalus. All three species have very large, 4-dentate mandibles. 



Described from one female caught in forest, January 27, 1914 (A. P. Dodd). 



Habitat: Gordonvale (Cairns), Queensland. 



Type : No. Hy 2805, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the specimen on a tag, the head on 

 :& slide. 



3. ACROCLISOIDES MAJOR new species of A. P. Dodd and A. A. Girault. 



Female: — Length, 2.50 mm. 



Similar to the genotype but much larger, all coxae coneolorous, rest of legs and antennal 

 scape and pedicel lemon yellow, fore wings hyaline; head large but only a little wider than 

 the thorax, the vertex not narrow, mandibles very large, petiole of abdomen yellow, not longer 

 than hind coxae nor half as long as rest of abdomen, segments 2-4 subequal, the remaining 

 segments very short and hidden; stigmal vein somewhat longer than the marginal and a little 

 shorter than postmarginal; funicle joints longer. 



Described from one female caught by sweeping edge of jungle, December 20, 1912 

 (A. P. Dodd). 



Habitat: Kuranda, Queensland. 



Type: No. Hy2806, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the specimen on a tag, the head on 

 a slide. 



EPIPOLYCYSTUS new genus. 



Female : — Like Neopolycystus Girault but the club lacks the nipple-like fourth joint (or 

 at least it is barely indicated) and is only 2- jointed, the fourth segment of abdomen is a little 

 longer than the second, the third a little shorter, the three combined occupying two thirds of 

 the surface. Also the propodeum is quite different in shape, being conical, very short at the 

 spiracle (in Neopolycystus nearly as long from the spiracle as along the meson, the short 

 neck making the difference), long at meson. Segments 2 and 3 of abdomen caudad at meson 

 with very slight notches. Segment 5 of abdomen transverse sublinear, not half the length of 

 segment 4. Antennas 12-jointed with three ring-joints. 



1. EPIPOLYCYSTUS ASILUS new species. Genotype. 



Female: — Length, 1.30 mm. 



Dark metallic green, the wings hyaline; all of each leg and the scape yellow-brown, 

 also first two ring-joints which are smaller than the third. Funicle joints more or less equal, 

 enlarging slightly distad, each a little wider than long, the pedicel distinctly longer. Head
