1. PARANAPHOIDEA CAUDATA new species. 



Female: — Length, 1 mm. 



Very similar to cfircgia Uirault l)Ut tlie foiisjiimunis black line along each side of the 

 ]iostscutellinn absent, this sclerito wholly j'ellow; the so-called V-shaped yellow marking on 

 the scutum (in reality, two acute, long, black wedges from cephalad on a yellow ground and 

 extending about to caudal margin) is absent siuee the black areas from cephalic margin on 

 each side are rectangular, somewhat longer than wide but extending ouly half way to the 

 caudal margin leaving the meson and lateral margins of cephalic half of scutum narrowly 

 yellow. The legs are wholly yellow and tlie antenna! excej.t the club. Puuicle 1 is somewhat 

 larger. Otherwise identical. 



Male : — Unknown. 



Described from female taken from a window, February ?., 1912, 



Ildbiliil: Cooktown, Queensland. 



Type: No, Hii2J5f>, Queensland Museum. Brisbane, the s|ieciinen ou a slide with the 

 type of cgrcfiiu. 



2. PARANAPHOIDEA INTERMEDIA new species. 



Ffiiinle: — Length. l.lU mm. 



Exactly similar to earcijiii but distinctly Larger and characterised by having finer discal 

 citation ou the fore wing (about 'A'l lines) and the head is all yellow, together with the legs. 

 The funicle .ioiuts arc all somewhat longer, the cephalic tibia} bear strigils. In both species, 

 (here is a triangular black spot laterad ou postscutelliun. Li all four species of the genus, the 

 .axilla? are margined with yidlow caudad and laterad.

Froui one fenuile cajitured cpu A|]ril (i. 1014. by sweeping grass in forest. 



Tfdliitnl: Gordonv.ale (Cairns). Queensland. 



Type: No. Sy24(i0, Queensland Museum, Brisliane, the s|ieciinen ou a slide. 



A male of a species of this genus collected by Mr. A. P. Dodd at CloncuiTy, Queensland, 

 April, 1014, resembled closely the genotype. The male antenna' are as in Slelliyniiiin. The 

 color jiattern of the thorax appears to be a generic characteristic. 



Genus POLYNEirOIDKA Girault. 

 This genus dilfers fundamentally from Slrlli i/iiiinii Enoi-k in lacking the thoracic phragma.

Female: — Length. O.SO mm. 



With the habitus of Anaphes. P.Iack. the abdomen ^\ilh a broad band of silvery white 

 around its base which occupies nearly a third of the surface; legs white or nearly, the antenna- 

 black, the first three fnnicle joints cylindrical, the second longest, 1 and S more or less equal, 

 a third sliorter than 2; fi snbglobniar. a third shorter than ."i while 4 is a fourth shorter than .5; 

 proximal club joint nearly half of the club. Pore wings rather narrow and graceful, with about 

 fourteen lines of discal cilia across the widest jiart of the blade, the longest marginal cilia 

 about half the greatest width. Hind wings rather narrow and curved, with five lines of fine 

 discal cilia toward tip, the third and fourth lines soon disapjiearing. Scutum more or less 

 pallid especially at caudal half, the ]iarapsides and scutellum white. Strigil present. Scutellum
