AUSTRALIAN HTMENOPTERA CHALCIDOIDEA, IV.—GIEAULT. 
21^ 
Genus SYNTOMOSPHYEUM Foerster. 
1. SYNTOMOSPHYRUM FLAVISCUTELLUM Girault. 
This species is a SeUtrichodes which see. 
Genus MFLITTOBIA Westwood. 
1. MELITTOBIA AUSTRALICA Girault. 
A widely distributed species in Eastern Australia. The male antennae bear four funicle 
joints, the fourth joint a little smaller than the first; the eyes are absent. The aiitenn® of the 
female bear three short ring-joints. The abdomen is subpetiolate, the petiole distinct in the 
male yet short. Types re-examined. Antea, p. 205, under this heading, line o, stained should 
read starred. 
The following additional specimens have been seen: Many specimens reared from the 
larvso of Scelipliron Icetmn at Gordonvale (Cairns), Queensland, January 20, 1914 and again 
in mid-February. Many females from the collections of the Queensland Museum at Brisbane, 
labelled ‘‘Reared from wasp’s nest, Brisbane, ISTovoraber 17, 1913. H. Hacker. Ho. 22.^^ 
The femora were darker in these specimens. One male, four females from the collections of 
the National Museum, Melbourne, labelled “ Bred out of old pupa case of muddauber wasp. 
20.12.07. Bred from pupa of ? Fsexidagena. ^ scarce, 200-1. F. P. Spry.’' The 
locality was near Melbourne, Victoria. Also a female captured by sweeping in forest, 
Gordonvale, Ajjril, 1914. 
Genus TETEASTICHODES Ashmead. 
1. TETRASTICHODES MORUM Girault. 
Antea, p. 207, line 8 is meaningless. The species was captured in forest, early January, 
1913. The species belongs to SeUtrichodes which see. 
2. TETRASTICHODES AUSTRALICUS Girault. 
A female at Gordonvale, Queensland, forest, April 16, 1913. Antea, p. 208, line 3, omit 
the word round. 
3. TETRASTICHODES (ZAGRAMMOSOMOIDES) MULTIFASCIATUS new name. 
Tetrasiicliodes fasciatus (Girault). 
This species was once referred to Teirastichus by misttike and has thus become confused 
with the species fasciatus Ashmead of that genus. Tctrasticliella fasciatella Girault was 
described as Teirastichus fasciatus. Accordingly, I propose the above name for this species. 
4. TETRASTICHODES MARGISCUTELLUM new species.

scutum not margined. Axillee very narrovdy so with yellowish (mesad and cephalad). Funicle 
3 is only slightly shorter than the other two while all are much wider than long. Caudal 
margin of scutellum laterad of first groove narroAvly yellow.
