beyond postmarginal vein hyaline; venation yellow; marginal 

 vein as long as the submarginal, the stigmal rather long, the 

 postmarginal vein twice as long as the stigmal. Antennae 

 inserted on a level with ventral ends of eyes and wide apart; 

 13-jointed, without a ring joint, the club 3-jointed; scape long 

 and slender, nearly as long as next four joints combined ; 

 pedicel nearly thrice as long as greatest width, over twice as 

 long as funicle 1; funicle 2 hardly longer than the pedicel, 

 3-8 shortening, 8 slightly longer than wide; club twice as 

 long as preceding joint; flagellum very gently incrassate. 



Hab. — Queensland: Townsville (four females labelled 

 "On tree-trunks, 1903, F. P. Dodd"). 



Type. — A female on a tag, antennae and forewings on a 

 slide. 



A fine distinct form. Differing from the other Australian 

 species, westwoodi, Girault, in colorational details, the wing 

 infuscation, the non-dilated scape which is not concolorous, 

 the pedicel being much longer than funicle 1, the axillae 

 distinctly not meeting at base, the longer oviposital valves, 

 the shorter postmarginal vein which is much shorter than the 

 marginal. In three females the length is about the same, but 

 in the fourth it is distinctly shorter, being but 3 mm. 



Family EURYTOMIDAE. 



Hexeurytoma, n. g. 



9 . Head normal, transverse ; face with a deep antennal 

 channel, the anterior ocellus not within this. Head and 

 thorax coarsely confidently umbilicately punctate; pronotum 

 large, quadrate; parapsidal furrows deep and complete; 

 scutellum large; propodeum short. Abdomen slender, com- 

 pressed laterally, one-half longer than the thorax; viewed 

 from the side much longer than high, not rising abruptly 

 from base,- gently convex above, straight beneath ; sessile ; 

 segment 2 (first body segment) carinate along anterior margin 

 and with a median carina to near posterior margin, on either 

 side of this carina with a wide shallow sulcus with obtusely 

 carinate lateral margins ; 3 and 4 combined hardly longer than 

 1, subequal ; 5 as long as 2-4 combined; 6 one-half as long as 

 5; 7 rather longer than 6; 8 short; pointed at apex. Hind 

 tibiae with two short stout spurs. Forewings ample, marginal 

 vein linear, a little longer than the postmarginal, which is 

 slightly longer than the stigmal. Antennae inserted in 

 middle of face; scape, pedicel, one ring, six funicle joints, 

 the club appearing 2-jointed but not truly divided and thus 

 subsolid; funicle 1 fully half as long as the scape, the funicle 

 moniliform.
