AVSTBALlAN HYMENOPTEBA CHALCIDOIBEA, YI.—GIBAULf. 345 



PSEUDIPABA new genus. 



Female: — Differs from Epilelaps in lacking the cross-suture on the scutelhun, in having 

 the marginal fringes of the fore wing of nearly normal length, the postniarginal vein elongate 

 and the parapsidal furrows convergent caudad, meeting just before apex and incomplete. 

 Differs from Panstenon and Dipara in having seven funicle joints and only one ring-joint 

 which is large. Petiole of abdomen a little longer than the hind coxa?. Otherwise like Epilelaps. 

 Postniarginal vein over thrice the length of the stigmal. Club solid, the antenna? inserted on 

 the middle of the face. 



1. PSEUDIPARA ALBICLAVA new species. Genotype. 



Female: — Length, about 2 mm. Slender. 



Dark metallic purplish, the legs and scape yellow, wings uniformly slightly dusky; club 

 white; funicle and pedicel black. Pedicel slightly longer than funicle 1 which is longest and 

 somewhat over twice longer than wide, 2-4 subequal, each a little shorter than 1, 5 and 6 

 subequal, a little shorter, 7 a little shorter than 6, distinctly longer than wide. Third tooth 

 of mandible obtuse, the other two acute. Ocelli nearly in a straight line, distant from the 

 eyes. Marginal fringes of fore wing a little longer than usual, about a seventh of the greatest 

 wing width, not as long as some of the bristles from the venation. Marginal vein twice or 

 more the length of the submarginal. Parapsidal furrows not attaining pronotum, running off 

 laterad. Thorax delicately scaly; scutellum subglabrous but with longitudinal stria? laterad. 

 Abdomen glabrous, the petiole with strong longitudinal carina?; second segment occupying two 

 thirds of the surface. Propodeum with a distinct neck and with a few interlacing cross and 

 longitudinal carina? which form very large fovea-like areas; no true median and lateral carina?. 

 Abdomen conic-ovate. Axilla? widely separated. Pronotum not especially large. Hind wings 

 dusky; both wings clearer toward base. 



Described from one female captured in forest, sweeping at a height from 2,500 to 3,000 

 feet (Mt. Pyramid), June 3, 1913 (A. P. Dodd). 



Habitat: Gordonvale (Cairns), Queensland. 



Type: No. SyS8S4, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the specimen on a tag; head, pair 

 of wings and two hind tibia? on a slide. 



Subfamily SPALANGIIN^]. 

 SPALANGIOMOEPHA new genus. 

 1. SPALANGIOMORPHA FASCIATIPENNIS new species. 

 For diagnosis, see antea, pp. 333-334. 



Male: — Antennae filiform, 11-jointed, with one ring-joint, the distal funicle joint a 

 little longer than wide, a little longer than the pedicel; funicle 1 distinctly longer than wide; 

 club solid. Club and distal two joints of funicle black; rest of antenna pale yellowish. Club 

 much longer than the funicle joints. Mandibles 4-dentate. Abdomen, lateral aspect, globular, 

 the petiole longer than the caudal coxa. Postniarginal and stigmal veins more or less equal, 

 the marginal cilia rather short, not as long as the stigmal vein. 



Described from one male taken from the window of a grocery store, Port Douglas, 

 Queensland, October 30, 3911. A female also, captured in a similar situation at Halifax 

 (Ingham), Queensland, February 25, 1913. 



The head resembles that of an ant, the antenna? inserted far down hear the clypeus. 

 Abdominal petiole moderate. The female genotype measures 1.35 mm. and was captured at 

 Port Douglas, October 30, 1911 from the window of a grocery store. Its type is the female 

 on a tag, the head, hind legs and a fore leg on a slide with the type appendages of Chalcitelloidt s 

 nigrithorax io Girault.
