648 PARASITIC HYMEXOPTERA, ii., 



EuRYTOMA Clelandi, sp.n. 



Black ; oral region, underside of antennal scape, lower half 

 of the upper inner orbits broadly, outer orbits, the upper 

 part gradually narrowed, malar space, mandibles, palpi and 

 propleurae entirely, rufo-testaceous ; legs of a paler testaceous 

 colour, the four anterior femora slightly, posterior broadly 

 black above; wings hyaline, nervures black behind, testaceous 

 in front ; marginal vein distinctly longer and thicker than 

 the postmarginal ; the stigmal as long as the latter, its 

 thickened apex obliquely narrowed from the base and apex 

 to the centre, the two parts being of equal size ; it has no 



projection. ^-I^^'ig^^^) - "^^^i- 



West Australia; bred from Coccid galls (Apiomorpha sp.) 

 in January, (Dr. J. B. Cleland). 



The second joint of the antennae is longer than wide, and is 

 distinctly narrower than the third, which is almost twice its 

 length and distinctly wider than it ; it is twice longer than 

 wide ; the other joints shorter, wider than long. The pubes- 

 cence is white and dense ; it is much longer on the metano- 

 tum. Head and thorax coriaceous, the pro- and mesonotum 

 more or less transversely striated; the mesopleurse finely, closely, 

 obliquely striated; the metapleurse much more coarsely striated. 

 Parapsidal furrows straight, oblique, distinct. There is an 

 aciculated line down the middle of the scutellum. The ventral 

 surface of abdomen and the lower half of its sides are testaceous. 



A coccid is a new host for the Eurytoi?iidce. They have 

 been bred from Hi/menoptera, Coleoptera, and Dipt era, and 

 one group feeds on the eggs of Orthoptera. 



Chromeurytoma, gen. nov. 



Antennae short, clavate, apparently 13-jointed, placed over 

 the mouth, the last joints forming a club. Apex of clypeus 

 rounded. Face roundly convex, clearly separated laterally, 

 below separated from the clypeus by a furrow. Head dis 

 tinctly wider than the thorax. Eyes large, widely separated
