AUSTRALIAN EYMENOPTERA CHALCIDOIDEA, IV.—GIRAULT. 
277 
2, PSEUDIGLYPHUS SPADICIVENTRIS new species. 
Female: — Length, 1.30 inm. 
Differing from grotiusi Girault in having the abdomen chestnut brown, the median 
■Carina of propodeum solid (in grotiusi of the same shape exactly!) and a broad depression 
in the place of the lateral earina (apparently), in the center of which is the minute spiracle, 
the propodeum apparently the same as in grotiim. The ovipositor is barely exserted (so in 
the genotype). The legs (except coxm) are white, washed slightly but distinctly with dusky, 
the antennae white, the two fuuicle joints subequal (1 slightly longer than 2 -which is quadrate) ; 
scape and pedicel dusky. Mandibles tridentate. Abdomen not densely reticulated as in grotiusi, 
the sealines less distinct. Compared with an authoiitie specimen of grotiusi and the two are 
alike excepting the colorational differences in the abdomen and legs. 
From one female caught sweeping in forest, along mountain foothills, July 9, 1913 
(A. P. Dodd). 
Habitat: Gordonvale (Cairns) , Queensland. 
Type: No. HyS679, Queensland Museum, Brisbane. 
In this genus the scutum is short, the axillm much advanced, reaching a little over half 
way to cephalic margin of scutum, the short, complete parapsidal furrows meeting them. 
Mandibles 3-dentate. There appears to be a earina laterad and mesad of the spiracle, converging 
caudad, forming an oblique V whose arms inclose the spiracle. 
Genus MESTOCHAHELLA Girault 
1. MESTOCHARELLA FERALIS Girault. 
Slender. Mandibles tridentate, the third tooth truncate. Club terminating in a little 
spur. Postmarginal vein shorter than the stigmal. Funicles 1-3 longer than wide, cylindrical. 
The type is on a tag, the head on a slide. Wings ample. Jungle, April 4, 1913. 
In antea, p. 264, line 4, AtoposomoideTla ebanningi is a naked name. Gyrolasella 
clianningi is referred to. 
Tribe EUPLECTEINI. 
Genus PAGHYSCAPHA Howard. 
A male specimen with enormously dilated scape but otherwise like Euplectrus in every 
•detail was taken in jungle at Tweed Heads (Tweed Eiver), New South Wales, May 3, 1914 
(A. P. Dodd). The stigmal vein -was distinctly shorter than the postmarginal. 
Genus EUPLECTRUS Westwood. 
Antea, p. 273, line 1, ^-jointed should read solid. The mandibles are absent in this 
genus and there are two ring-joints. The antenna} are inserted ventrad of the middle of the 
face, near the clypeus. The species described by Girault from Australia agree in these 
particulars and the descriptions should be understood accordingly. 
1. EUPLECTRUS XANTHOCEPHALUS Girault. 
Antea, p. 274, line 3, one read two and S-jointed read solid. 
Length, 2.10 mm. The type female is on a tag, the head on a slide. It was captured 
April 15, 1912. 
2. EUPLECTRUS CAIRNSENSIS Girault. Female, male. 
Length, 2.15 mm. Male about the same. The types consist of a single pair on a tag. 
’The female type was captured October 25, 1911 (Cairns), the male May 11, 1913 at Gordonvale, 
A female at Kuranda, Queensland, jungle, May 14, 1913.
