Head and thorax marked distinctly with yellow. 
Head marked with yellow. 
Oral region, ventral aspect of scape, lower half of upper inner orbits, malar space and 
propleura, rufo-testaceous; legs yellow except caudal femora which are black, 
other femora slightly blackish; marginal vein distinctly longer than the post- 
marginal; funicle 1 twice longer than wide. Venter and ventral half of sides of 
abdomen testaceous; scutellum with a median aciculated line 
(Xanthosoma) sane Caneeam 
Abdomen reddish except above at proximal third (segments (2-4); face, cheeks and 
propleurum lemon yellow, also occiput except dorsad; legs yellowish brown, the 
caudal coxa black laterad except at tip and the abdominal petiole; scape lemon 
yellow, black at tip; funicle 1 a half longer than broad. Petiole a little longer 
than wide. Prepectus glabrous; mesopleurum cephalad punctate (the greater part), 
caudad longitudinally striate. Median channel of propodeum with carinated sides. 
and a distinct median ruga. Propodeum coarsely punctate 
queenslandensis Girault; see soror and predpenamae Girault. 
The same but caudal coxa yellow .. aa ae is ed .. patruelis Girault. 
The same but the yellow of propleurum advances on to the notum; two orange yellow 
dots mesad on upper occiput and a dot on each side of propodeum between meson 
and lateral margin .. sk .. quadriguttatus Girault; see rostandi Girault. 
Face beneath antenne and cephalic margin of propleurum triangularly, lemon yellow; 
ventum and middle of side of abdomen yellowish brown; caudal coxe and scape 
black. Prepectus finely scaly. Mesopleurum about as in queenslandensis, also 
propodeum and other characters... ..  nigrella Girault, maeterlincki Girault. 
Head all black. 
Club solid. Abdomen mostly red, also the legs and scape .. abnormiclava Girault. 
GENUS CHROMEURYTOMA Cameron. 
‘* Antenne short, clavate, apparently* 13-jointed, placed over the mouth, the last joints 
forming a club. Apex of clypeus rounded. Face roundly convex, clearly separated laterally, 
below separated from the clypeus by a furrow. Head distinctly wider than the thorax. Eyes. 
large, widely separated above, not converging. Temples short. Prothorax large, quadrate, as 
long as the mesothorax, which has distinct furrows; these are straight and converge toward 
the apex. Scutellum large, longer than it is wide at apex; that is broadly rounded and 
margined. Postscutellum large, narrowed gradually behind. Metanotum short, little developed, 
the centre depressed narrowly, the sides broadly rounded, the slope oblique. There is an 
oblique furrow across the mesopleure. Abdomen shorter than thorax, longish oval, distinctly 
narrowed at base and apex, not petiolated. Marginal nervure long, the postmarginal longer 
than it; stigmal fully one-half the length of the marginal. Legs stout, pilose. Body metallic- 
green; its sculpture fine. 
I can refer this genus only to the Eurytomine, but it is certainly not typical of that 
group. The marginal nervure, for example, is much longer, the sculpture much finer, and the 
antenne shorter and more clavate. I cannot place it in any other group. The metallic color 
is not unique for the Eurytomine, for it is found in Chryseida. In habits, the type of the 
genus agrees with most Eurytominw, the species of the tribe being mostly parasitic on gall- 
insects. Probably the discovery of the male may throw light on the systematic position.’’ 
* This is a word which should be used as little as possible in such connections as this; it is. 
obscure where it should be clear.
