398 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 



occurs near Lucca. S. analoga, Foerst., seems to be indentical 

 with Eurytoma platyptera, a species that was first placed with 

 Systole, but afterwards transferred to Eurytoma. 



The first of the two following species of Eurytoma was 

 found near Bellagio, by the lake of Como ; the second is a 

 native of Japan ; as is also the Haltichella, which is next 

 described. 



Eurytoma (Bqualis. — Foem. Nigra ; longiuscula, non gib- 

 bosa; caput et prothorax aspere scabra; caput prothorace 

 paullo latius ; antennae subclavatae, thorace breviores ; petiolus 

 brevis ; abdomen lanceolatum, subcompressum, thorace paullo 

 longius ; tarsi fiavi ; alae diaphanae, nigro venosae. 



Female. Black, elongate. Head and thorax roughly 

 scabrous. Head a little broader than the prothorax. Antennae 

 subclavate, shorter than the thorax. Prothorax quadrate, 

 well developed. Mesothorax not gibbous. Metathorax fully 

 developed. Petiole short. Abdomen lanceolate, slightly 

 compressed, a little longer than the thorax. Tarsi yellow. 

 Wings pellucid; veins black; ulna slender, inuch shorter 

 than the humerus; radius much longer than the cubitus; 

 stigma very small. Length of the body If — 2 lines. 



The longer abdomen distinguishes it from E. nodularis, to 

 which species it has most affinity. 



Eurytoma Japonica. — Foem. Nigra, gibbosa ; caput et 

 thorax subtiliter punctata ; caput prothorace paullo latius ; 

 antennae subclavatae ; petiolus brevis, crassus ; abdomen 

 compressum, altum, subcaudatum, thorace aequilongum ; 

 genua tarsique fulva; alae diaphanae, albido venosae. 



Female. Blacky stout. Head and thorax finely punctured. 

 Head a little broader than the prothorax. Antennae sub- 

 clavate, wholly black, a little shorter than the thorax. 

 Prothorax and metathorax well developed. Mesothorax 

 short. Petiole short, thick. Abdomen compressed, much 

 deeper than the thorax, and equal to it in length. Sheath of 

 the oviduct forming a lanceolate tube. Knees and tarsi 

 tawny. Wings pellucid ; veins whitish ; ulna less than half 

 as long as the humerus, not longer than the cubitus; stigma 

 small. Length of the body 1|- line. 



It agrees with E. squamea in the paleness of the wing- 

 veins, but the thorax is a little shorter, the abdomen is 

 deeper, the sheath of the oviduct is longer, and the tibiae 

 are black to their tips.
