ADDITIONS TO THE MYMARID^ AND TRICHO- 

 GRAMMATID.E OF AUSTRALIA. 



By a. a. Girault. 



Since my treatment of these families as they occur in 

 Australia, I have gathered some additional material, which is 

 recorded in the following pages. 



1. A New Subgenus of Mymarid^. 

 Belonging to the subfamily Gonatocerinae, the following new 

 subgenus : — 



Gonatoceroides, n. subg. 



Female. —The same as female Gonatoceriis in all structures, but 

 the antennae only 10-jointed, the third funicle joint nearly as long as 

 the pedicel, decidedly longer than either of the proximal two. Tarsi 

 5-jointed, abdomen subsessile. 



Male. — Unknown. 



Type. — The following species. 



Gonatoceroides australica, n. sp. (normal position). 

 ■ Female. — Length, 0'80 mm. General colour dusky brown, the 

 knees and proximal three tarsal joints, together with the cephalic 

 femora and tibiae, pallid yellowish, the cephaHc femora dusky beneath 

 proximad. Venation dark brown, the wings hyaline. Fore wings 

 with a straight margin at extreme apex, moderately broad, bearing 

 about thirty-three lines of fine discal cilia, the latter absent under the 

 venation, excepting a line or two just under the marginal vein, and 

 a fine, stiff, straight line along the caudal margin, running distad for 

 some distance. Marginal cilia of fore wing short ; posterior wings 

 narrow, not as wide as their longest marginal cilia, the extreme 

 discal cilia confined to a few scattered ones at apex. Fourth funicle 

 joint longest. (From one specimen, f-inch objective, 1-inch optic, 

 Bausch and Lomb.) 

 Male. — Not known. 



Described from a single female captured by sweeping in a 

 forest near Ayr, Queensland, Novernber 7th, 1912. The species 

 resembles closely Gonatocerus clarwini, Girault.
