 May 11, 1913 (A. A. G.).

Family Chalcididae. 

 Chalcitellini. 



Chalcitella Westwood. 



Female: Allied with Chalcitella Westwood from which it 

 differs apparently in having one more funicle joint, the club being 

 indistinctly 2- or 3-jointed, the funicle being 7-jointed and there 

 being no ring-joint. Posterior femora beneath with eight teeth, 

 the last one minute, the others large. Posterior tibiae simple. 

 Post marginal and stigmal veins absent. 



1. Chalcitella australiensis new species. 



Female: Length, 2.75 mm. 



Black, the abdomen except petiole and above centrally, dark 

 reddish; posterior femur also dark reddish except a large black 

 blotch in center of ventral margin (lateral aspect); tegulae, all of 

 other legs and the hind tibiae and tarsi dark red; also the scape, 

 pedicel and one or two funicle joints. Wings subhyaline. Umbili- 

 cately punctate but not densely, smooth between the punctures. 

 Propodeum with median carinae bounding sulci, the latter crossed 

 by ridges. Funicle joints enlarging distad; pedical short, cupshaped. 



Male: Unknown. 



Described from one female captured by sweeping in a forest. 

 Habit at: Australia — Nelson (Cairns), Queensland. 

 Type: In the Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the above

Haitie hellini. 



Genus Stomatoceroides Girault. 

 1. Stomatoceroides fuscipennis new species. 

 Male: Length, 2.85 mm. 



Nearest to bicolor and nigricornis but at once distinguished 

 by having the forewings deeply, nearly uniformly infuscated (sooty) 

 from a little before the marginal vein distad to apex; the legs are 

 black except knees, tips of tibiae, base of posterior femur and the 

 tarsi which are dark red; tegulae dark red. Propodeum rugose, 

 with a deep longitudinal basin or trough down the meson but 

 not quite to apex, the edges of this triangle carinated and its bottom
