AUSTRALIAN EYMENOPTERA CHALCIDOIDEA, IV.— GIB AULT. 
279 
stout, longer than club joint I which is subequal to the pedicel. Mandibles about 7-dentate; 
funicle joints subpetiolate and with a nipple-like spine from each latero-distal angle. One spur 
of hind tibia; very short, stout. Grooves of scutellum near lateral margin and joined round 
apex. Axilla? not advanced. Thorax reticulate-punctate, the axilla? smooth, faintly reticulate. 
Propodeum glabrous. 
Male : — Not known. 
Described from one female captured by sweeping in heart of jungle, September 12, 
1913 (A. P. Dodd). 
Habitat: Kuranda, Queensland. 
Type: No. Hy 1920, Queensland Museum, the above specimen on a tag, the head and 
hind legs on a slide. 
Genus PARENTEDON Girault. 
Scutellum with two grooves. Antenna? 10-jointed with two ring-joints, the club 2-jointed. 
Body mostly metallic; abdomen subsessile, short, ovate; propodeum tricar inate; antenna? 
inserted below the ventral ends of the eyes; mandibles 13-dentate. Postmarginal vein some- 
what longer than the rather long stigmal. Ilind tibial spurs normal, the spur of the inter- 
mediate legs long and slender. Propodeai spiracle minute. This genus was removed from the 
Entedonini on suspicion because when compiling the portion of this manuscript on that tribe 
it was noticed in the description of the type species that the iatter was partly nonmetallie. 
Consequently, the type was re-examined with the result that the true position of the genus is 
ascertained. Occipital margin of vertex acute. 
1. PARENTEDON AUSTRALIS Girault. Female. Genotype. 
Dark metallic green, the abdomen (except distad, more or less, where it is metallic) 
and legs reddish brown. Eyes hairy. Thorax scaly, the axilla? smoother. Funicle 1 somewhat 
longer than the pedicel, the fourth joint a little longer than wide; scape pale, the flagellum 
dusky brownish. Fore wings indefinitely stained (yellowish). Inner eleven teeth of mandibles 
comblike, minute. 
Habitat: Capeville (Pentland), Queensland. 
Type: No. Hy 1921, Queensland Museum (altered now from that published originally: 
A thorax and two abdomens on one tag and a slide with three hind, one intermediate, legs 
and two antenna?). 
Genus OPHELIMINUS Girault. 
Like AlopJiomorpha Girault in antennal structure and otherwise but the scutellum 
simple, the propodeai median carina has not the short sulci on each side; also the abdomen 
is long pointed conic-ovate. Mandibles 5-dentate. 
1. OPHELIMINUS GROTIUSI Girault. Female. Genotype

pale yellowish, large subquadrate area centrally a short distance from base; this yellow area 
larger ventrad. Legs white except proximal part of hind coxa; scape white, dusky above, the 
flagellum black; funicle 1 about twice the length of the pedicel, joints 2 and 3 of funicle
