206 AUSTRALIAN NEUROPTERA, iii., 



Glenoleon INDECISUS. 



Banks, Trans. Amer. Ent. Soc, xxxix., p. 225, 1913. 



One specimen from New South Wales, 12/2/1910 (Froggatt 

 leg.). 



Tribe Distoleonini. 



In this Tribus, a rather large number of Australian genera 

 must be placed, as Tillyard has already pointed out. Here I 

 may propose a new generic name for the Australian species 

 hitherto attributed to the genus Gymnociie'niia Schn. T have 

 examined the European species, Gymn. variegata Schn., which 

 species is the genotype: and, as will be seen in the photo 

 (Plate X., fig.2), the Australian species necessarily must be 

 referred to a new genus. In Gynm. variegata, the legs are long 

 and slender, the first tarsal joint much longer than any of the 

 others. In the forewing, Rs arises at a level much further out 

 than that of the cubital fork. No Banksian or intercubital line. 

 The antennae are as long as the head and the thorax united, and 

 distinctly clavate. 



AusTROGYMNOCNEMiA, n.gen 

 Body rather stout. Antennae clavate. Abdomen shorter 

 than the wings. Legs rather short, strongly haired; tarsi almost 

 as long as tibiae. Fifth tarsal joint the longest; first as long as 

 second and third united; fourth the shortest. No spurs. Wings 

 rather long and narrow, the hindwing shorter than the forewing. 

 In the forewing, Rs arises at the same level as that of the 

 cubital fork; in the hindwing, nearer to the base (only one cross- 

 vein before the origin of Rs). Banksian line present, and the 

 intercubital line, as a rule, also more or less distinct. Veins 

 2A and 3A are separate, but united by cross-veins. 

 Genotype, Gymiiocnemia hipunctata Esb.-Peters. 

 To this genus I would refer also four other known species from 

 Australia — G. tipiilaria Gerst., G. pentagramma Gerst., G. 

 inter rupta Esb.-Peters., and G. maculata Till.
