258 Rev. F. D. Morice's Notes on Australian Sawflies. 



$$ in B.M. Coll. referred by Mr. Rohwer to his " deceplus, 

 11. sp." two have them 10-jointed, and I am almost certain 

 that the two $<$ with 11-jointed antennae (the Types of 

 n ilcns, W. F. Kirby, and bella, Rohwer) on which Kirby 

 founded his " new genus " Euryopsis, are really the 

 unidentified <$$ of two Eurys spp. of which $$ only have 

 been described — probably of laetus, Westw., and nitidus, 

 W. F. Kirby respectively. I venture therefore to sink 

 the name Euryopsis as a synonym of the earlier Eurys. 

 (The so-called " Eurys " inconspicua, W. F. Kirby, is, 

 in my opinion, a Clarissa.)

— In the fore-wing the apex of the simply acuminate radial cell 

 is close to the margin of the wing, with at most a very narrow 

 (linear) space, bul no real appendicular " coll," separating it 

 from the latter 18. 



18. Legs (especially the hind coxae and tarsi) very slender and 

 elongate, the tarsi evidently longer than the tibiae. Antennae 

 also long and slender, almost filiform as a whole, most of 

 their joints considerably longer than broad. According to 

 Mr. Rohwer the antennae should be 14-jointed, but in speci- 

 mens examined by me in B.M. Coll. the number of joints 

 varies from 12 to 15. 



Generally the coloration of the body is thoroughly metallic, 

 much as in Eurys. But in the $$ of one species the abdomen 

 beneath is testaceous. 



18. Neoeurys, Rohw.

— Legs and also antennae somewhat shorter and stouter than in 

 Neoeurys. The antennae can hardly be called filiform; 

 they are rather mondial e, and the intermediate joints are 

 only a little longer than broad. The tarsi seem never to be 

 longer than the tibiae, in most cases they are evidently shorter. 

 The general coloration of the four species seen by me is not 

 metallic, bul testaceous and black, except in atrata, which is 

 black with white markings. The number of joints in the 

 antennae varies extremely — from 9 in inconspicua to 14 in 

 thoracica. Of divergent 1 have seen specimens with 10, 11, 

 12, and 13 joints (all from Queensland). The most usual 

 number of joints in this species (and also in atrata) seems to 

 be 11 !!»• Clarissa. W. F. Kirby.
