be infuseated to a greater or less extent in the middle. There is no distinct club on the 
antennz in the female, all the joints being of equal width to the base of the last. The 
abdomen is distinctly shorter than the thorax; it is almost sessile, the petiole being very short.’’ 
9. EURYTOMA CLELANDI Cameron. Female. 
Length, 2 mm. 
Black; oral region, underside of antennal scape, lower half of the upper inner orbits, 
the upper part gradually narrowed, malar space, mandibles, palpi and propleure entirely, rufo- 
testaceous; legs of a paler testaceous color, 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. 
The second joint of the antenne is longer than wide and is distinctly narrower thar 
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 pubescence is white and dense; it is 
much longer on the metanotum. Head and thorax coriaceous, the pro- and mesonotum more 
or less transversely striated; the mesopleure finely, closely, obliquely striated; the metapleure: 
much more closely 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 side are testaceous. 
Habitat: West Australia. 
Type: Query. 
This species belongs properly to Xanthosoma. 
10. EURYTOMA TASMANICA Cameron. Male and female. 
‘* Black; flagellum of antenna, including the pedicel, testaceous; legs yellowish 
testaceous, paler than the antennze; coxw and hinder femora (more broadly in male than in 
female) black; wings hyaline, the nervures pale testaceous. Mandibles in both sexes rufo- 
testaceous, their teeth black; in the female there is a longish conical mark on either side of 
the clypeus; in the male this mark extends slightly obliquely up on either side of the centre 
of the face to near the antenne, the clypeus being entirely rufo-testaceous. The antenne in 
the male are black, except the pedicel and the narrowed parts of the flagellar joints are 
testaceous; the hairs are stiff, black and longer than the joints. Pubescence of head, thorax 
and legs white, moderately dense. Abdominal petiole in male as long as hind coxe. Male and 
female, length, 2 mm. 
Launceston, Tasmania (F. M. Littler). 
Head above opaque, the face more shining. Thorax aciculated, pronotum sparsely, 
umbilicately punctate. Basal third of mesonotum finely, closely, transversely striated; the 
rest strongly aciculated, sparsely punctured, the scutellum finely, closely punctured and with 
some scattered punctures. Pro- and base of mesopleure opaque, alutaceous; the apex of the 
latter finely, closely reticulated. Metapleure finely rugose, opaque. Pedicel of antennze in 
female twice longer than wide, the second joint roundly narrowed at base, as long as wide, 
the others to the club wider than long. Abdomen very smooth and polished, the petiole in 
female short; fifth segment much longer than the others, fully one-half the total length of the 
body. Stigmal branch with the knob longish, semicircular, projecting at the apex above.’’ 
11. EURYTOMA XANTHERELLA new species. Female. 
Length, 2.20 mm. 
Honey yellow, the wings hyaline, the venation nearly black; the abdominal petiole, base 
of abdomen rather broadly along the meson for some distance and tip of ovipositor (valves) 
fuscous, the flagellum dusky yellowish; scape and legs concolorous. Marginal vein nearly twice
