AUSTEALIAN KYMENOPTEEA CnALCIDOlDEA, IV,—GIEAULT. 
289 
The hind margin of the pronotnm is yellow alsOj but otherwise the color is as described, 
the abdomen brownish coppery. The propodeum is short, the habitus somewhat as in 
ZagraMmosoma and Gyrolasella. Thorax fiat. One ring-joint. Type re-examined. 
The type was taken on March 3, 1912 and is on a tag, a wing and a ca;udal leg on a 
slide. 
2. GROTIUSELLA FASCIATIFRONS Girault. 
Antea, p. 283, line 5 of the description, femur read tibia* 
3. GROTIUSELLA FACIES new species. 
Female: — ^Length, 1.25 mm.; slender. 
Like fasciatifrons Girault but the whole of the face dorsad of the antennse is yellowish 
white, with a thin metallic green stripe across some distance above the antennae and a 
yellowish white one across just below them, the latter abbreviated laterad, not reaching the 
eyes. Also, the hind tibia is black nearly to tip (just below knees in the genotype), the 
band just below knees broad and distinct. Scutum distinctly rather finely scaly 
reticulate, the seutellum very finely sheened, subglazed and metallic blue. The genotype 
appears to have a similar sculpture. Propodeum with a thin median carina, the spiracle minute. 
The stigmal vein is a little shorter tlran in the wing of the genotype. Abdomen conical, 
longer than the rest of the body. iMandibles 6-dentate (probably the same in the genotype). 
Distal half of scape black. 
From one female captured in forest, January 7, 1914. 
Habitat: Gordonvale (Cairns), Queensland. 
Type: No: Ry^70S, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the specimen on a tag; hind legs 
and head on a slide. 
4. GROTIUSELLA ARGENTIFASCIATA new species. 
Female: — Length, about same as the other species. 
Characterised by bearing a silvery white stripe across abdomen a little distad of 
middle, this stripe not quite reaching the lateral margins, distinct but not broad. Legs silvery 
white, the caudal coxas concolorous or dark metallic green. Caudal margin of pronotum silvery 
white. Caudal and lateral margins of seutellum and caudal margin of axillae, golden yellow, 
also the vertex exeexfi the ocellar area. Occiput all metallic green. Lateral margin of axilla 
more narrowly golden yellow. W^ings hyaline. A line of three spots down face along eye 
margins, the middle a round spot, the ventral long, joining ventrad the metallic green cheeks 
and ventral border of face; face dull yellowish white otherwise excepting a cross-stripe of 
silvery from eye to eye, between the middle and ventral spot of the broken line down the 
eye margins and some distance above insertion of antenna or about the middle of the face. 
Scape white except at apex. Rest of antenna usual. Mandibles 5-dentate. Propodeum with 
a distinct median carina. 
From one female caught in forest, July 9, 1914. 
Habitat: Gordonvale (Caiins), Queensland. 
Type: lAo.Hy ^704, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the specimen on a tag with type of 
facies. 
The species cavendishi, thoreauini and facies have the median carina on propodeum 
and doubtless the others with the possible exception of the genotype.
