AUSTRALIAN HYMENOPTERA CHALCIDOIDEA, XI.—GIRAULT. 255 
as in sculptura, 7 very finely scaly, pubescent; tips of valves of ovipositor reddish brown; 
dorsad, segment 6 is nearly entirely scaly like its sides but 5 is so only at cephalic fourth. 
Propleurum scaly ventro-laterad. Funicle 1 about half the length of the scape. Wings 
hyaline. Otherwise about as in nigripes. 
From one female caught November 19, 1913 (H. Hacker). 
Habitat: Brisbane, Queensland. 
Type: No. Hy 3254, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the specimen on a tag; antenna 
on a Slide with slide type of picus Girault. 
52. EURYTOMA MULTIPUNCTUM new species. 
Like nympha but the distal margin of scutellum, three dots in a transverse line across 
caudal margin of scutum, one at the meson (the other two, one each at caudo-mesal angle 
of axilla), a dot at meson of caudal margin of pronotum and one on each side of meson, 
dorsal half of face of pronotum, reddish black; upper occiput centrally black. Funicle 1 
darker but not as dark as the pedicel, the tegule very dark red. Mesopleurum longitudinally 
rugulose. 
From one female caught in jungle, June 25, 1914. 
Habitat: Gordonvale (Cairns), Queensland. 
Type: No. Hy 3255, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the specimen on a tag with type 
nympha. 
538. EURYTOMA HAWTHORNEI new species. 
Female :—Length, 2.70 mm. Robust. 
Runs in my table to epicephale from the description of which it differs as follows: 
More robust; all of scape except at tip above and the first two pairs of coxe are reddish 
brown; also the tegule; the marginal vein is nearly twice the length of the stigmal, the 
postmarginal barely longer than the stigmal; funicle 1 is hardly a third the length of the 
scape but distinctly longer than 5 which is subquadrate, hardly shorter than joints 2-4; 
abdomen wholly black. Median channel of propodeum obclavate, its sides carinated and 
the channel with a median carina from base nearly to apex. Mesopleurum finely, transversely 
striate except dorso-caudad. Petiole of abdomen twice longer than wide, nearly as long as 
the hind coxe, finely longitudinally striate. Segment 5 of abdomen occupying about half 
the surface, twice the length of 4. Noticeable grayish pubescence on face, cheeks, dorsal 
thorax and hind cox. Hind tibial spurs double. Venation fuscous. 
From one female caught in forest, September 30, 1914. 
Habitat: Capeville (Pentland), Queensland. 
Type: No. Hy 3256, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the female in alcohol with type 
Atoposoma unguttatipes. 
Dedicated to Nathaniel Hawthorne. 
54. EURYTOMA BREVIPETIOLATA new species. 
Female :—Length, about 1 mm. 
In my table of species, ignoring the head, runs to abnormiclava from which it differs 
in being smaller, the abdomen (except the short petiole, segments 2-4 dorsad and laterad, 
segment 5 dorsad at proximal third and the apex distad of segment 6), legs (except hind 
coxe and sides slightly of cephalic ones) and the very short scape except at tip above, yellow- 
brown. Runs in reality to queenslandensis and allies, the head bearing a linear spot of yellow 
on each side of meson of clypeus from mouth to base of antenne and the propleurum with a 
roundish yellow spot cephalad centrally. Flagellum blackish, short and thick, the very small 
pedicel smaller than the funicle joints of which 1 is cupshaped, the following all plainly wider 
than long. Tegule# yellowish brown. Venation black, the wings hyaline, the marginal vein a 
little thickened, somewhat over twice longer than wide, distinctly somewhat longer than the
