and mexicana, Crawford, by having two spines at the hind angle 
of the prothorax, and from both manicatus, Bagnall, and similis, 
Bagnall (if these two are really distinct and not forms of 
the same variable species), by the more slender antenne and 
relatively longer prothorax.

A NEW SPECIES. OF EURYTOMA FROM QUEENS- 
LAND, WHICH LIVES IN THE STEMS OF 
KUCALYPTUS. 
By A. A. Grravutt. 
Tue following species seems phytophagous, since I found it 
inhabiting short grooves or channels under the bark of young 
Eucalyptus trees, somewhat after the manner of Scolytide. 
Where occurring, the stems of the trees were somewhat swollen. 
When one thinks of it, this species does not seem to differ greatly 
in habit from the other members of its tribe, which seem to live 
on galls rather than upon gall-makers. Has the parasitic habit 
of the Eurytomini been proved ? The genus Bruchophagus would 
incline one to doubt. 
Genus Hurytoma, Illiger. 
Eurytoma picus, n. sp. 
Black, the legs, tegule and scape rich reddish brown, the hind 
cox black, the wings hyaline; flagellum brownish yellow, knees 
and tips of tibie yellow. Propodeum with a rather broad median 
groove. Venation pale; postmarginal and stigmal veins subequal. 
Scape obclavate; pedicel a little shorter than funicle 1, which is 
longest of the funicles, much longer than wide, about twice the 
length of funicle 5, which is somewhat wider than long, funicle 4 
a little longer than wide, funicle 2 subequal to the pedicel. Club 
with three distinct joints, the antennze 11-jointed. Mandibles tri- 
dentate. Hind tibie with two spurs. Pronotum with a more 
or less distinct, obtuse median carina. Punctuation not quite 
as dense as usual, the cephalic part of scutum densely, transversely 
lineolated. 
Male.—Not known. 
Described from two females taken from short grooves under 
the bark of young eucalypt trees in the forest, October 16th, 1913. 
Habitat.—Nelson (Cairns), Queensland. 
T'ype.-—One of the above specimens on a tag, the head and a 
hind leg on a slide. In the Queensland Museum, Brisbane. 
: Magnification 3-inch objective, 1-inch optic, Bausch and 
iomb.
