256 MEMOIRS OF THE QUEENSLAND MUSEUM. 
stigmal, the latter slightly shorter than the postmarginal. Segment 5 of abdomen oceupying 
not quite half the surface, much longer than 4. Propodeum with a median channel. Meso- 
pleurum very finely sculptured. 
From one female caught in forest, September 30, 1914. 
Habitat: Capeville (Pentland), Queensland. 
Type: No. Hy 3257, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the specimen in aleohol with type 
of B. hawthorne Girault. 
55. EURYTOMA SOROR new species. 
Like queenslandensis but the abdomen black above at base only on segments 2 and 3, 
the venation is very pale yellow, the antenne are yellow except scape at tip above, pedicel 
and first two or three funicle joints; the hind coxe are all yellow-brown like the legs; axille 
black; lower half of occiput yellow. Funicle 1 a little wider than long, the following joints 
still shorter. Otherwise apparently the same. Marginal vein about twice longer than wide- 
Hind tibial spurs double. 
From one female caught in forest, September 27, 1914. 
Habitat: Capeville (Pentland), Queensland. 
Type: No. Hy 3258, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the specimen in alcohol with type 
of preceding. 
My genus Bephratella was founded on the length of the first funicle joint in relation 
to the scape (two thirds or more the length of the scape), a character used in Ashmead’s table 
but I found later that the joint in question varies very much and is not a true generic 
differential. The original description of pyrrhocerus Crawford was inadvertently omitted but 
the place of the species is indicated in the table of species. The species clelandi Cameron 
should more properly be referred to Xanthosoma Ashmead but perhaps this is not a valid genus 
being founded on rather variable sculptural peculiarities. This genus is really an enormous 
one. 
TABLE TO THE AUSTRALIAN SPECIES OF EURYTOMA ILLIGER. 
FEMALES. 
All the species described by me have a 2-jointed club, except picus which has three 
distinct apparent joints and abnormiclava which has a solid club. Most of my types have 
been re-examined. 
I. Yellowish species. Funicle 1 long (except xantherella), the marginal vein black and 
thickened. Uniformly punctate on dorsal thorax. 
Yellow; abdominal petiole, base of abdomen dorsad along meson for a short distance 
(proximal third) and tip of ovipositor valves dark fuscous; venation black, the 
marginal vein nearly twice the length of the stigmal. Propodeum with a median 
channel. Petiole of abdomen over twice longer than wide. The median stripe of 
abdomen forms two rather large triangular areas like nodes. Funicle 1 not quite half 
the length of the scape .. bug ae aE ae us .. xantherella Girault. 
Yellow orange; dorsum of abdomen with four conspicuous cross-stripes of black, the fourth 
bow-shaped and caudad of it a very short transverse black dash; ocellar area black. 
Propodeum concave, at base with a short groove, Pedicel black dorsad. Funicle 1 two 
thirds the length of the scape (excluding bulla). Abdomen dorsad not concave (lateral 
aspect ) is a mn mie Se nympha Girault; see multipunctum Girault. 
The same but the centre of vertex, upper occiput, median line of pronotum mesad, somewhat 
over cephalic third of scutum except lateral margins, the meso-caudal and meso- 
cephalic corners of each parapside, the axille, caudal and cephalic margins of seutellum 
rather broadly and the meson of propodeum broadly black. Otherwise as in nymph. 
The seutum with an inverted triangular spot at apex mesad connecting narrowly along 
meson with the black cephalad... a oe ae ie ..  pulchra Girault.
