GENERIC TABLE OF THE AUSTRALIAN SPHEGIGASTERINI. 
The Australian genera seem characterised, as in most Eulophidaa, by a greater number 
of ring-joints in the antenna), the European and North American genera usually bearing two, 
the Australian genera usually three. 
1. Antenna) without ring-joints, 12-jointed. 
Wings vestigial but perfect, the marginal vein long. Parapsidal furrows nearly 
meeting caudad. Antennae 12-jointed. Scutellum with a cross-furrow before 
apex. Mandibles tridentate. Nonmetallic. 
Parurios Girault (Type: P. australiana Girault). 
2. Antennae with but one ring- joint, 13- jointed. 
Parapsidal furrows complete. Mandibles bidentate. Nonmetallic. Petiole of 
abdomen shorter than the hind coxa, the second segment not occupying more 
than a third of the surface, its caudal margin incised at meson. 
Sphegigasieroides Girault (Type: S. rufinotum Girault). 
3. Antennae with two ring- joints. 
Antennal club solid; antenna? 11- jointed. 
Parapsidal furrows incomplete; petiole of abdomen short and stout; median 
carina of propodeum intersected by a transverse carina, the propodeum 
with a distinct neck and spiracular sulci. Mandibles tridentate. Scutellum 
with a faint cross-suture before apex. 
Polycystoides Girault (Type: P. tennysoni Girault). 
Antennal club 3-jointed ; antenna) 13-jointed. 
Parapsidal furrows complete. 
Petiole of abdomen slender, distinctly longer than the hind coxa). 
Segment 2 of abdomen very large, occupying full two thirds of the 
surface, the following very short; pronotum large quadrate; vertex 
narrow. Syntomopus Walker (Type: S. tlioracicus Walker.) 
Segment 2 of abdomen occupying less than a fourth of the surface, 
segment 3 half as long, 4 longest, twice the length of 2 and 
occupy big nearly half the surface; pronotum transverse; mandibles 
4- dentate. Paracroclisis Girault (Type: P. washingtoni Girault). 
Petiole of abdomen no longer than the hind coxa). 
Scutellum with a cross- furrow before apex; petiole of abdomen nearly 
as long as the hind coxa); segments 3 and 4 of abdomen notched 
at meson of caudal margin, segments 2 and 3 subequal, combined 
occupying not quite half of the surface. Propodeum without a 
median carina. 
Sphegipterosema Girault (Type: S. feralis Girault).
