AUSTRALIAN EYUENOFTERA CHALCIDOIDEA, III.—GIBAULT. 
179 
joints mncli •wider than long, the first shorter and narrower but much larger than the 
ring-joint. Mandibles tridentate, -weak. 
Male : — Unknown, 
From one si)eeimen from the Queensland Museum, unlabelled. 
Habitat : Brisbane, Queensland. 
Type: Xo. Hy^743, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the above specimen on a tag, the 
head and hind legs on a slide. 
All yellow species of Elasmus liave the peculiar arrangement of black spines on the caudal 
tibise; the arrangement does not seem to diifer specifically. The variation in the mandibles 
is a good specific character and species may differ only in this. Species of Elasmus and 
Euryischia do not shrivel upon drying but the head (which is punctate in all of my species 
■ of Elasmus) must be removed and crushed in balsam in order to see the mandibles. 
The following species of the family appear to be common in their respective habitats; 
Elasmus splendidnSj foimiosus, queenslandicus and margiscutcllum; Euryischia slialcespearei 
.and Euryischomyia icashlngtoni. 
ADDITIONAL STATEMENT ON MYMARIDAE. 
The following new species was described just too late to be included within the second 
. supplement to this family : 
Genus BAEAXAPIIOIDEA Girault. 
1. PARANAPHOIDEA NIGRICLAVA new species. 
Female: — Length, 0.92 mm. Ovipositor only slightly extruded. 
Jet, the antennm exce^jt the club and tlie legs, excei^t hind coxse and femora, 
whitish yellow; postscutelhim contrasting brilliant golden. Fore wings hyaline but distinctly 
infuscated from base out about to end of marginal vein, the stigmal vein as in Stethynium. 
'Scutum with a distinct median groove, the postscutellum with three, one median. Thorax 
not rudely sculptured, smooth or nearly. Fore -u-ings Avith about eighteen lines of cilia 
where Avidest, rather slender, rounded at apex, the diseal ciliation disappearing some distance 
distad of A'enatiou (over length of marginal A'ein distad), the longest marginal cilia only a 
third the greatest Aviug Avidth. Club of antenna contrasting in color with the fimicle (much 
more so than AA'ith caadaia). Fnnicles F.3 and 5 narrower than the other t\\^o, 2 and 3 
-SLibequal, each a little longer than wide, 1 subquadrate, 5 slightly longer and wider than 2; 
funicle 4 subeqnal to 6, longest, somcAvliat longer than Avlde, subequal in length to the 
pedicel. A^enation dusky black. Club divided about the middle. Hind wings Avith only a 
paired line of discal cilia along each margin, their caudal marginal cilia somewhat longer 
than the greatest width of the blade and a little longer than the longest marginal cilia of 
the fore wing. Club rather large. Hind tibial spur single, not especially long. 
From one female caught in forest, June, 1914 (A. P. Dodd). 
IJahitat: Bui-nett Heads, Southern Queensland. 
Type: Xo. ITyB739, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the specimen on a slide. 
In this genus, the axillso are normal, scutellum A\-ider than long, shorter than the 
postscutellum. 
These observations should be added; 
Enasms Enock differs from Erythmelus Enock in having all the funicle joints much 
Mnger than Avide and the scape longer and more slender. The groui>s must be considered valid 
until shown to the contrary. They differ in thoracic structures from allied genera, a fact 
-OA’erlooked in their original descriptions. 
Of the Australian species of Anaidies, as a consequence of the recognition of the 
Enockian genera, wallacei, lapacei and spinosai are En-asius; Icantii, and painei 
are Erythmelus. The sole species of Anaphes is thus saintpierrei.
