220 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST 



and third funicle joints are long and subequal. Very much Hke 

 draperi in wing structure, but the legs are brighter and orange. 

 Funicle joint 1 longer than the pedicel, joints 2 and 3 longest, sub- 

 equal, elongate, one and a half times longer than 1, joint 4 a fourth 

 shorter, 5 shorter, somewhat enlarged, somewhat longer than 1. 

 Scape moderate in length. 



(From one specimen, enlarged as in preceding.) 



Male: Not known. 



Described from one female, captured with the preceding 

 species. 



Habitat: Australia — Nelson (Cairns), Queensland. 



Type: No. Hy 1298, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the 

 above female in balsam (mounted with Gonatocerus spinozai and 

 the type of Polynema mendeli). 



Respectfully dedicated to Max Nordau. 



This species may be the female of draperi, which it resembles 

 closely, but there are differences which make me doubt it, especially 

 in the shape of the fore wings, the relative length of the cephalic 

 marginal cilia of those wings and the differences in colour.

TEROUS FAMILIES EURYTOMID^, PERILAMPID^, 



ELCHARID^ AND CLEONYMID^. 



BY A. A. GIRAULT, NELSON (CAIRNS) N. QUEENSLAND. 



Family Eurytomidse, 



Eurytomini. 



Xanthosomoides , new genus. 



Female. — Non-metallic, yellow, body not umbilicately punc- 

 tate, fore wing with a stigmate spot at the stigmal vein. Head 

 normal, the antenna inserted in the middle of the face, ll-jointed, 

 the club solid, the funicle 7-jointed, cylindrical, its joints not much 

 longer than wide, the single ring-joint rather stout, the pedicel 

 nearly as long as the first funicle joint, the scape rather long, 

 simple. Wings large, the marginal vein long and slender, at least 

 two-thirds the length of the long submarginal vein, thrice or more 

 the length of the rather short stigmal vein, the postmarginal vein 

 also very long, nearly as long as the marginal or quite equal to it
