Some Chalcidoid Hymenoptera from North Queensland. 77 



white (coxae not distinctly seen), also the scape, the flagellum 

 dusky. Pedicel longer than either of the funicle joints which are 

 longer than wide and subequal; club slightly wider than the funicle. 

 Male: Unknown. 



Described from a single female taken from a bottle of mis- 

 cellaneous insects without data. 



Habitat: Australia — Nelson, North Queensland. 



Type : In the Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the above 

 specimen on a tag (wings destroyed) and a slide with the head. 



Atoposoma Masi. 



1. Atoposoma zolai new species. 

 Female: Length, 1.10 mm. 



Lemon yellow, variegated with dark metallic green as follows : 

 Pronotum, all of scutum except (broadly) each lateral margin; 

 the meson of scutellum broadly and conically nearly to tip, 7 or 8 

 narrow stripes across the abdomen (4 — 6 broadly jointed along 

 the meson, the following narrowly, by a longitudinal stripe), two 

 wavy stripes across the face, all of the propodeum and parapsides 

 and two diamond-shaped spots on each axilla. Fore wings with 

 a fuscous spot below (against) the stigmal spot and somewhat 

 dusky around the tip. Antennae 9-jointed with two ring-joints, 

 agreeing with those of variegatum but the two funicle joints are 

 subequal. Mandibles with about six teeth. 



Male: Not known. 



Described from a single female captured by sweeping along 

 the banks of Cape River, in forests, January 4, 1913. This magni- 

 ficent species I dedicate with great respect to Emile Zola for 

 his work La Debacle. 



Habitat: Australia — Capeville (Pentland), Queensland. 



Type: In the Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the above 

 specimen on a slide. 



Entedonini. 



Apleurotropis new genus. 



Female: Like Pleurotropis Foerster but the antennae with 

 two very short ring-joints, the propodeum with lateral carinae and 

 a median sulcus whose margins are carinated, the scutellum without 

 grooves, sculptured but the scutum with a median groove along 

 distal third or more. Petiole distinct, not long, the second abdo- 

 minal segment only about a sixth the length of the abdomen, the 

 seventh segment longer than it. Propodeum apparently glabrous 

 but very delicately reticulated, Segments 2 and 3 of abdomen 

 glabrous, the following segments with setigerous pin-punctures 

 which are dense on 7. Thorax coarsely polygonally scaly. Mandibles 

 tridentate. Post marginal and stigmal veins short, subequal. (At 

 least three funicle joints; rest missing).
