 hyaline the leos, scape and pedicel yellowish, the coxas and hind tibia} and femora more or 

 less concolorons; fiinicle joints all distinctly shorter than the pedicel, the first two subequal, 

 barely lonf>er than wide, the third plainly longer than them but only slightly longer than any 

 of the fuliowing joints of the funicle; club short, wider than the filiform funicle, its distal 

 joint plainly longer than the other, somewhat longer than any of the funicle joints.

1. GONATOCERUS TOLSTOH Oiranlt. Female. 



Length, 0.80 mm. 



.Jet black and thus in the group of species including nnj- and lomoiiosoM with which 

 it is more closely allied. It differs from the latter in the inequality of the funicle joints, the 

 first four joints all short l>ut unequal, 1 and 2 equal (1 sometimes longer), globular, small, 

 3 and 4 e(|ual (4 a little larger) globular but about twice larger. 4 less than half the length of 5 

 which is longest; joint <) distinctly shortest of the distal four funicle joints, while 7 and 8 are 

 subequal or nearly to 5. Pedicel as long as distal funicle joint. In lomonosoffi, joint C 

 subequal to o. Fore wings slightly broader in this species biit otherwise the two cannot be 

 distinguished.

2. GONATOCERUS LOMONOSOFFI Girault. Female. 



Length, 0.70 nun. .Small for the genus. 



.Jet black and tlius distinguished from all sjiecies of the genus in Australia excepting 

 ii(i.r from which it differs as follows: Smaller, fore wings distinctly not so slender but 

 rather of the broader type (yet not wide, only about fifteen lines of discal cilia), the first 

 three funicle joints short and sulieijual. fourth only a little longer than third, the latter not 

 longer than second as iu noi, 5 plainly twice the length of 3, not so in nox; discal eiliation of 

 fore wings absent under marginal vein and the body sonienhat darker. Wings hyaline.
