AUSTRALIAN HYMEN OTTLBA CHALCIDOIVEA, III.—GIBAULT. 
177 
Gexus EURYISCiriA Koebele. 
This genus is accredited to Eiley hy de Dalla Torre (1898) and others Avith the remark 
that it was not described. Later, Koebelo figured the type S2)eeies (lestophoni) which rvas- 
apparently named by Howard. Hence Euryiscliia Icfitoplioni Howard a ')iomen nudimi becomes 
Euryvichia lestophoni Koebele. The genus not becoming valid until its genotype was described 
must be accredited to Koebele (1890). There arc two ring-joints in the antennas. 
1. EURYISCHIA SHAKESPEAREI Girault. 
This si)ecies differs from indaucliolica Girault in the beainng of a longitudinal patch 
of discal cilia under the distal halt and base of the submarginal vein sejAarated from the 
rest of the cilia by an oblique hairless line; in having but three long bristles from the 
break of the same vein (iji mclancholica there are two in a row longitudinally, two on the 
spur of the submarginal vein besides three small seta) of Avhich tw'o are on the vein spur, one 
isolated on the blade) ; and in the characteristic infuscation of the fore wing. It is also 
less robust, the pedicel longer. There are two ring-joints. Head sculptured like the thorax. 
Types of both species re-examined. IVJr. G. F. Hill has sent me several females from Port 
Darwin, Korthern Territory, labelled “ Ko, HO. Oct. 10, 1913 and one male, five females, 
same data and No. 24. From same species of coccid as No. 15.’’ The male is like the 
female. 
The species was reared with Aneristus fumosipennis G. and D. 
2. EURYISCHIA UNFASCIATIPENNIS new species. 
Female: — Length, 1.30 mm. 
Dark metallic blue, the Avings clear but with a distinct .sooty cross-stripe nearly as in 
inopinata Masi except that the stripe is lu'oader being from all of the marginal and stigmal 
veins (and slightly distad of the latter, its proximal margin straight but oblique and coter- 
minous with the discal ciliation, the distal margin couA'ex) ; bristles as in inopinata. Thorax 
and abdomen finely scaly, the abdomen conic-ovate, somewhat longer than the rest of the 
body. Scutum with sparse bristles, the scutellum with only about four of them. Propodeum 
sculptured like the rest of the thorax (finely lined). Mandibles bidentate, the second tooth 
truncate. Club whitish; pedicel much longer than any of the funicle joints, twice the length 
of 3 which is quadrate, 1 shortest, a little wider than long, 2 longest, somewhat longer than 
wdde, 3 widest, next longest; proximal club joint longest. Second ring-joint partly hidden. 
Anteunaj inserted just below the ventral ends of the eyes. Head finely reticulated like the 
thorax. Knees, tibim and lAroximal three tarsal joints white. Hind tibial spur single; hind 
coxa long and conical, not fiat and circular as in sumneri, nigra and melancliolica. 
Male : — Not known. 
Described from one female captured by SAveeping in forest, December 10, 1913. 
Ralntat: Gordonvale (Cairns), Queensland. 
Type: No. Hy ^740, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the specimen on a tag, the head 
and hind leg on a slide. 
3. EURYISCHIA UNMACULATA now species. Female. 
Length, 1.40 mm. Like 'Unmiiciilafipenni.‘^ Girault but the round fuscous spot against 
the stigmal A^ein is somewhat larger, the fore wings are narrower, the first funicle joint is 
a little longer than wide and the luaudibles are bidentate, the second tooth truncate, not 
with three distinct teeth as in the other species. The coxa» in both species are as in Elasmus. 
Head finely circularly striate. Wing bristles as in inopinata Musi. Fore wings somewhat 
infiiscated distad of venation to apex. Scutum densely hairy, the scutellum nearly naked. 
Distal two funicle joints AA’ider than long. 
Habitat: Gordonvale (Cairns), Queensland. Forest. NoA^ember 1, 1913. 
Type: No. Hy2741, Queensland Museum, Brisl)ane. Tag and slide.
