Some New Parasitic Hymenoptera from Australia. 



177 



Described from a single $ specimen caught while sweeping 

 foliage in a jungle, Nelson, N. Q., 16th June, 13 (Alan P. Dodd). 



Habitat: North Queensland (Nelson, near Cairns). 



Type: South Australian Museum, a <J tagmounted plus a 

 slide bearing head, antennae and forewing. 



Genus Paridris Kieffer. 



4. Paridris dubiosus sp. nov. 

 Male: Length, 1.50 mm. 



Color as in rufinotum Dodd. I have not the type of rufinotum, 

 but only specimens identified as such from the description of the 

 type. Whether the subsequent specimens are identical with 

 rufinotum I cannot say. Dubiosus may be the opposite sex of 

 rufinotum (allowing all the specimens to be that species) , but I do 

 not think it probable. Again if the subsequent specimens of rufi- 

 notum are not identical with the type, then dubiosus will probably 

 be the opposite sex of the type of rufinotum. Dubiosus differs 

 from the specimens identified as rufinotum in the much lighter 

 color of the thorax; the parapsidal furrows of rufinotum are se- 

 parated at the posterior edge of the mesonotum by two-thirds 

 their own length, while in dubiosus they are separated by only 

 one-third their own length. This does not appear to be a sexual 

 difference; mandibles of both species tridentate. 



Antennae as in tridentata Dodd but the scape alone yellow, 

 remaining joints more or less suffused with black. 



(From 1 specimen, etc.) 



Female: Unknown. 



Described from a single <J specimen caught while sweeping 

 foliage in a jungle, Upper Mulgrave River, Nelson, N. Q., lOth 

 June, 13 (Alan P. Dodd). 



Habitat: North Queensland (Upper Mulgrave River, near 

 Cairns). 



Type: South Australian Museum, a $ tagmounted plus a slide 

 bearing $ head with a $ head of (?) rufinotum. 



Genus Mallateleia Dodd. 



2. Mullateleia kiefferi sp. nov. 

 Fe male: Length, 2.75 mm. 



Black; legs (except the coxae), reddish yellow, the femora 

 more or less black; antennal scape black, somewhat suffused 

 with red; next 5-joints reddish yellow. 



Head and thorax coarsely reticulately rugulose; parapsidal 

 furrows not visible. Abdomen petiolate; as long as the head and 

 thorax united; distinctly wider than the thorax; scarcely longer 

 than wide; Ist segment as long as wide, striate; remaining segments 

 smooth, shining; 3rd segment equal to one-half the abdominal 

 length.
