8. POLYNEMA ALIGHERINI n. w species. 

 Female: — Length, 1 mm. 



In my table of Anstralian species runs to st'eiieeri and allies (auatraliense and 

 l-Ku:) bnt dift'ers from all <if them in bearing distinctly shorter marginal fringes on the 

 fore wing, the longest of these cilia being not a half of the greatest wing width but between 

 a third and a half of that distance. Black, legs aud antenna) pale golden yellow"; club black; 

 distal three funicle joints nH)re or less dnsky. Fuuicle 1 subelongate, distinctly longer than 

 the pedicel, 2 longest, a third longer than 1, ?> a little shorter than 2; next three funicle 

 joints each shortening, each widening distad, (i a little shorter than 1 but longer than the 

 pedicel. Ciliation of fore wing not disappearing pro.xiniad. Funicle 2 five times longer than 

 wide. Joint 1 of hind tarsus somewhat longer than funicle 2. somewhat less than half the 

 length of the hind tarsus. Compared with types of piLr. Jro/icri, :(iiu/iriUi, ronwiusi and 

 iionhnii. 



MdJt : — Xot kn(uvn. 



Described from one female captured in jungle. April ll>, HI14.

Ti/pt: No. Hy 2:171, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the specimen on a slide. 



Dedicated to Dante Alighere. 



9. POLYNEMA THOREAUINI new species. 



Female: — Length, 1.50 mm., excluding ovipositor which is extruded for somewhat more 

 than a fourth the length of the abdomen. 



In my table ruus to australiense and pax but may be separated at once because of the 

 distinctly extruded ovipositor. The wings are more densely ciliated than in aiistraliense and 

 the funicle joints are longer. Closest to poj- which has the ovipositor a little extruded but the 

 antenna) are all black .and also the legs (tlie tarsi and petiole of abdomen yellow) ; also the 

 fore wings are slightly different and the discal ciliation is continued to the venation only by 

 a single (sometimes paired) line of cilia. 



Pronotum large, with a. narrow median carina; parapsidal furrows distinct. Scutellum 

 with a curved cross-line of pin-punctures, the thorax with rather coarse longitudinal reticulation. 

 Segment 3 of abdomen large, occupying nearly a third of the surface, 2 a third shorter than it, 

 4 transverse. Propodeum and abdomen practically witliout sculpture, the former without 

 cariniB. Compared witli slide type of attfitraUensc and pax. 



From one female ca]:itnred by sweeping forest uplands, ilay 28, 1914 (A. P. Dodd). 



TlahHat: Maclean, Clarence Biver, New South Wales.

 of Go)ialnctiiis liumboldti (Girault).

10. POLYNEMA HEGELI new species. 

 Male: — Length, 1.80 mm. 



Shining; pronotum longer than the scutum, its lateral margin carinated, W'ith a distinct 

 neck. Parapsidal furrows complete. Scutellum plane, flat, the axillse very small, the
