14. GONATOCERUS TRICOLOR Girault. 



Antea, first suppleiiieut. p. llo, omit laM senteuce in liue 2-3 as irrelevant. 



What apjicared to be the female was captured May 20, 1914. by sweeping in forest,, 

 type locality. Distal half of abdomen and hind tibi» (only) in this specimen dusky black. 

 The antenna! are similar to those of hicolor and ti'irolor may be but a variety of hicolor but 

 very doubtfully so. 



15. GONATOCERUS GREGI new species. 



Mdh : — Lenfjth, 1.7.'5 uuii. 



.Tet black; first two pairs of knees, tarsi (hind tarsi darker) and cephalic tibia? yellowish. 

 Fore wing with two broad cross-stripes of dusky, the first across a little distad of venation 

 (longer cephalo-caiulad than proximo-distad). the second at apex, wider than the first, occupying 

 about a fonrtli of the wing surface and separated from the first by a space narrower than the 

 width of the latter. Thus, very similar to renani except that the cephalic femora are black, the 

 first band of the fore wing is very distinctly much less than its own width distad of apex of 

 venation and there is no infuscation under the marginal vein. Also, there is no median grooved 

 line on the scutum: the proximal margin of second stripe of wing is less convex and the hind 

 wings are dusky at tip. ('ejihalic tibia? armed with scattered ])rickle-like setio (renani also). 

 Funicle joints nearly twice longer than wide. 1 shorter, all distinctly longer than the pedicel. 

 The discal cilia of fore wing nearly reaches venation in this species (some distance distad of 

 it in renani). Hind tibial spurs double. 



From one male caught by miscellaneous s\vee|iing. May 11, 1914 (A. P. Dodd). 



Habitat: Murwillumbah, New South Wales.

16. GONATOCERUS FLOSCULUS new species. 



Female: — Of tlie same build aud so on of .thatespearei but black, the venter of prothorax 

 and under sides of mesouotum yellowish, the last two pairs of tibia; and scape dusk.y, the caudal 

 femur dark like their tibia?. Knees, femora, tips of tibia? and the tarsi pale yellowish. AntenniB 

 about as in the named species but the scape is more compressed, the distal four funicle joints 

 somewhat longer, also the club. Fore wings as in slial'espearei but the marginal vein is a little 

 longer. The ovijiositor is a little shorter. Scutum with an obscure median sulcus centrall.y. 

 Thorax rather coarsely coriaceous, the propodeum smooth, nonearinate. Scutellum simple. 

 Otherwise as in slial'e.ipearei. Colored much like nonsulcatus but that species has no obscure 

 median groove on scutmn, the jn'opodeum bears a median carina and the fore wings bear 

 extremel.v fine discal ciliation which is very faint. Moreover, non.iulcatn.i has a normal abdomen 

 (as probably all males of the species with females of the peculiar habitus of this species do). 

 In nmisulcatiis, the cephalic tibia is no longer than the combined lengths of the first three joints 

 of the tarsus; in this species it is longer than the three joints taken together. In this species 

 grooves on each side of the meson of propodeum a.^ in anfinsiir< ntris Girault and Dodd are 

 faintl,v indicated.

1~. GONATOCERUS COMPTEI Girault. 



Female: — The dislal half of the .■ibdonu-u sometimes jet. th" scutellum with a large 

 round black spot at base centrally and the fnniclc joints all a little longer. Base of abdomen 

 sometimes not stri]ied.
