AUSTFiALIAN JIYMENOTTEUA CHALCIDOIDEA, IV.—GIEAULT. 
189' 
the latter at caudal end, the pair forming an oblate sphere T^hose axis is the median carina; 
this Carina originates ceplialad some distance from the median curina and is thin there and 
more or less broken. True lateral carina present but running oppositely, thus caudo-laterad; 
the latter carina is narrowly connected with the curved carina of the mesa! area by a cross- 
carina at about ('e])halic third. Spiracle minute, round. Scutellum with a foveate median 
groove, torminating at apex as a carina. Parapsidal furrows coinjdete. Pronotum transverse 
linear. Caudal tibial spur single, normal. Postmarginal vein twice the length of the very 
small stigmal. AxillfO only very sliglitly advanced. Abdomen (in death) with its dorsal 
surface apidied to the dorsal surface of the thorax. Scutum shorter than the scutellum, 
wider than long. 
1. PARAHORISMENUS SPISSIPUNCTATUS now species. Ge7iotype. 
Female: — Length, 1.70 mm. 
Dark metallic blue, the thorax with a trace of coppery; proximal three tarsal joints 
white; fore wings deejtly smoky from base distad nearly to apex of marginal vein, distad 
the infiunation suffused, not clearly delimited; hind wings smoky for nearly proximal two 
thirds. Marginal vein about twice the length of the submargiual. Scape slender, longest; 
pedicel rather long, subequal to funkde 3; funiele 1 longest of the flagellum, nearly twice 
longer than wide, rather stout, slightly longer than 2; club 1 longer than 2, the latter with a 
distinct terminal spine. Caudal and intermediate tilna with stiff bristles dorsad. Abdomen 
flat, dorsal aspect rounded oval, segment 2 longest, occupying somewhat less than half the 
surface. Abdomen and propodeum glabrous, the head and thorax umbilicately punctate, the 
parapsides finely shagreened except along all margins, Parapsidal furrows fovea, te. Petiole 
very short, wider than long, glalo’ous. Jlind coxa glabrous. Mandibles with at least two 
outer acute teetli. Tliorax covered with rather thick black-brown pilosity. Punctures on head 
smaller and less dense. 
Prom one female caught in jungle, May 3, 1914 (A. P. Dodd). 
Ilahitat: Tweed Heads (Tweed Diver), New South AVales (see below). 
Type: No. RyS490, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the specimen on a tag; head and a 
caudal leg on a slide. 
Also one female, Grafton (Clarence River), New South Wales, June 3, 1914 (A. P. Dodd). 
TTORTSMENELLA new genus. 
Female: — In my table of genera runs to Fleurotropopseiis Girault but differs in having- 
the postmarginal vein elongate; the lateral carina of propodeum is not V-shaped but entire 
and a short curved carina just mesad of spiracle originates laterad of the cephalic end of the 
lateral carina. The median groove of scutum is along distal two thirds or somewhat more. 
Caudal tibial spur long, stout and curved, longer Dian the first tarsal joint of caudal legs. 
Postmarginal vein over thrice the length of the stigmal, the latter subsessile; marginal vein 
over twice the length of the siibmarginal. Otherwivse the same as originally described for the 
named genus. Segment 2 of abdomen occupying a little less than a fourth of the surface, 
over twice the length of 3; strigils absent. Three ring-joints; really runs to Pleurotropomyia. 
1. HORISMENELLA CLARIVIRIDIS new s]3ecies. Genotype. 
Female: — Length, 1.90 mm. 
Bright metallic green, the abdomen dark blue except segments 2 and 3; legs, scape and 
abdominal petiole silvery white, the coxm and petiole suffused with orange. Fore wings with 
an obscure dusky spot in the center of the blade opposite the stigmal vein. Funiele 1 longest, 
2 and 3 each shortening a little, 3 longer than the pedicel, over twice longer than wide, longer 
than club 1 ; club 2 somewhat shorter than the pedicel, with a distinct but not very long
