AUSTRALIAN UYMENOPTERA CEALCIDOIDEA, III— GIB AULT. 137 
4. EURYISCHIA SHAKESPEAREI new species. 
Female.: — Length, 1 *10 mm. 
At once differing from the preceding species in having a distinct fumated 
area on the fore wing somewhat as in inopinata Masi but differing in its shape ; 
fore wing otherwise as figured for that species. Ant enn ae with one (possibly two) 
ring-joints and at least three funicle joints, the rest missing. The marking on 
the fore wing is a conspicuous globular sooty brown area appended from the 
stigma] vein and distal half or more of the marginal, extending nearly across to 
the caudal margin but fading somewhat before reaching it; its proximal margin 
is V- or inverted caret-shaped and the discal ciliation proximad is coterminous 
with that margin ; the wing distad of the marking is fumated as usual (as in the 
preceding species) but just distad of the distal margin of the more deeply infus- 
cated marking there is a more or less subhyaline path across the wing. At the 
base of the marginal vein, there are one or two very large cilia or bristles in an 
oblique eaudo-proximal line : close against the venation, the discal ciliation 
extends proximad same distance nearly to the middle of the submarginal vein 
and less densely nearly to the base. Pedicel rather long, longer than the three 
funicle joints which are subquadrate. Mandibles bidentate, the second tooth 
large, broadly truncate at apex. Costal cell with discal ciliation. 
Mole : — Not known. 
Described from a female captured by sweeping in forest, May 26, 1912. 
Habitat: Nelson (Cairns), Queensland. 
Type: No. Hy 1622, Queensland Museum, the above specimen on a tag, 
the head on a slide. 
5. EURYISCHIA LESTOPHONI Howard. 
This species has been recorded from Sydney, New South Wales, as a 
parasite of leery a rose? on the plant Grevillea. 
6. EURYISCHIA MELANCHOLICA new species. 
Female: — Length, 1*50 mm. 
Like nigra but the scutellum as in nigrella . Distal third or more of fore 
wing embrowned, darker about the stigmal vein, there the proximal margin of the 
fumatior. accented to form a rather narrow cross-stripe from the stigmal vein. 
Scape and pedicel dusky, rest of antenna yellowish; one ring-joint. 
Male : — Not known.
