Appendix 

 Species Not Included in the Revision 



The species listed below have not been included in the revision for 

 one or more of the follo\ving reasons: Types not checked by the 

 author; types inadequate to make a satisfactory judgment; types 

 lost; the original description too brief or general to allow a definite 

 decision; inclusion in the genus Eurytoma, as limited by the generic 

 description, doubtful. 



The types of the six species Eurytoma abatos, E. cretheis, E. hecale, 

 E. pythes, and E. teredon, described by Walker (1843) and E. iphis 

 Walker (1846), are located in the British Museum and I have not 

 been able to check them personally. Letters from M, F. Claridge, 

 Department of Zoology, University College, Cardiff, England, and 

 G. J. Kerrich of the British Museum, London, give their impres- 

 sions of the Walker types. They seem to agree that E. iphis, E. 

 cretheis, and E. pythes are probably not true Eurytoma. The British 

 Museum did loan me a single cotype male of E. teredon, and it is a 

 good Eurytoma, but the single male specimen is insufficient to de- 

 termine the status of the species. 



E. abnormicomis Walsh (1870). This species was described from a 

 single female captured at large that seems to be lost. The three 

 males in the U.S. National Museum collection under this species 

 are not adequate to determine the position of the species, 



E. albipes (Ashmead). Transferred to the genus Tenuipetiolus 

 (Bugbee, 1951). 



E. albitarsis Ashmead, nomen nudum (Bugbee, 1956). 



E. ashmeadi (Ashmead). Ashmead (1894, page 327) described 

 Eurytomocharis minuta and designated it as the genotype. Minuta 

 was preoccupied by Walker (1832), and so the new name was proposed 

 by Peck (1951, page 575) who, at the same time, placed Eurytomocharis 

 as a synonym of Eurytoma. Until the genera of the family Euryto- 

 midae are revised, I would exclude ashmeadi from the genus Eurytoma. 



E. aulacis Ashmead, nomen nudum (Bugbee, 1956). 



E. brachypterum (Ashmead). This species was orginally described 

 as Systole brachyptera by Ashmead in 1886 (page 126). In 1894 

 (page 328) he transferred the species to Evoxysoma and in 1951 (page 

 574) Peck placed the genus as a synonym of Eurytoma. The very 

 elongate abdomen is not typical of the genus Eurytoma, so the species 

 is not mcluded in the rcAasion.
