Evidently rare, but probably often overlooked owing to the 

 remarkable similarity between it and the commoner Pseudayrion 

 australasice. I have named it minietes because of this resemblance.

T have received, from Mr. H. Elgner, a good series of this 

 insect from Cape York, and also from Banks' Island, Torres 

 Straits, the captures ranging from October, 1909, to March, 1910. 

 This is the first record of a T'elehasis occurring in Australia. The 

 appendages of the male (figured in Plate xlviii., figs.33, 34) agree 

 almost exactly with iSelys' description; length 0'5 mm.
