New Chalcid parasites from Malaya
This is a short taxonomic note by A.A. Girault describing new Chalcid parasites from Malaya, based on specimens collected by C.F. Baker, with types deposited in the Raffles Museum, Singapore (p. 165).
Summary
Girault names five taxa from a collection sent by Baker, noting that the material showed marked affinities to Australian forms and that novel genera were rare (p. 165). The described taxa comprise a new variety (Leptomastix guttatipennis io var. nov.), a new species (Leptomastix penangi sp. nov.), two new genera (Rhynchentedon in Entedonini and Lutheria in Encyrtidae), and a further new species (Systolomorphella lyra sp. nov.) (pp. 165–167). Each entry provides brief morphological diagnoses and locality data (Singapore or Penang), with the new genera receiving more extended descriptions of head, thoracic, and abdominal characters.
