11. GONATOCERUS CIRCUMVAGUS new species. 



Female: — Length. 2.-'^ mm. 



Like iiiirisshiuis but the abdomen and \h,' loud tibiai are black, tlie first funicle .joint 

 over twice longer than wide and slenderer, joints 1' and 3 longest, distinctly over twice the 

 length of the pedicel. More like ]ioiiiearei but the hind tibiie and the pedicel are black, the 

 longitudinal black stripe on the fore wing from immediate apex and is longer, abruptly fading 

 but the fainter jiortion continuous, not broken, leaving a faint, proximal spot in the mid- 

 longitudinal line. Thorax shining black, with no distinct sculpture, the pronotnm long and 

 quadrate and with either a groove or a carina along each side like parapsidal furrows; 

 niesoprajseutum absent. Scutellum very long. Hind Tibial s|iurs doulile. Fore wings somewhat 

 broader than those in poinearei.

12. GONATOCERUS HUMBOLDTI (iiiauh. Cleuotype of Agonatocerus. 

 ArjonatocrniK hiiinhold/.i (Jirault. 



This species was originally described erroneously, parts of the antenna! having been lost 

 while two pieces of them became so disposed in the mount of the single siiecimen as to make 

 these organs appear 1.3-jointed. Also, the median sulcus of the scutum is in reality a yellow 

 line down the meson; the lateral margins of tlie si'iitmn are also yellow. The species is valid 

 liut resembles hini/ilieii.-i and mcfsi'linilofp'. From the former it differs in the cidor of the 

 thorax and abdomen, its slemler Iniild and narrow fore wings; and from mi t>:ehiiikoffi in 

 having the yellow on the tlmrax. more yellow at base of aliilomen, in the color of the legs 

 and the more graceful body and apjiendages. .\lso. the distal half of the sca]ie is colored. 

 The four funicle distal joints are each about twice longer than wide. 



Compared with types of all Australian sjiecies. 



13. GONATOCERUS AUSTRALICA Cirault. Cein.typ.' of Oonatoreroid-s Girault. 

 Gonatoccmidcs aiistralica Cirault. 



This species ajipears to be valid but should be eom|)ared with the following from which 

 it seems to differ as follows: From iioelhei in that the legs are colored and all of thorax, 

 being otherwise the same as goethei; from hai-ekili in lacking the swollen hind femora present 

 in that species; from liKyiiheih^i in having funicle 4 louger than 6 and not longer than the 

 pedicel; from faseialiveiilris in not having pleurum or lateral line of abdomen yellow and there 

 is no regular discal ciliation under the marginal \ein but ■nil\ a V shaped Hue; from (hinriiii 

 in that the fore wings are as in liueeleli. 



In the species fuseiativeiilrix. tlie so-called yellow stripes across the abdomen are the 

 incisions between the segments.
