posterior wings; stiginal veiu forming a regular concave curve nitli the inner eilge of the 

 marginal vein at its apex, but the curve is not as deep as usual. Posterior wings moderately 

 broad, subequal in greatest width to their longest marginal cilia or slightly more or less than 

 subeqiial. Antennal club long and moderately stout, spindle-shaped, slightly over four times 

 longer than its greatest width which is near its middle, w itli no regiilarly grouped or prominent 

 longitudinal sulci." 



Jlahitat: Gordonvale (Cairns), Queenslaml. Two males, December 4 and 21, ISMl. 



Type: No. Hij77J. Queensland Jluseum, Brisbane, one male on a slide. 



A female at Mackay, Queenslaml, October U), 1911, and one at Gordonvale (Cairns), 

 January, l!n2. In the latter all tlie femora were dark. 



7. SIGNIPHORA RECTRIX new species. Female. 



Length, 0..')4 nun. Like aspiilidli Aslnnead but the antennal cluli wholly dusky, the 

 cejihalic two thirds of scutum dusky while the abdomen at proximal h;ilf is only obscurely 

 dusky, hardly noticeably so, not conspicuously as in (hipklioli. Also, the fore wings are 

 somewhat narrower, the longest marginal cilia slightly longer than the wing where widest. 

 Legs coneolorous. Discal bristle absent. 



Habitat: Kurauda, Queen.daud. Forest.

8. SIGNIPHORA PERPAUCA new species. Female. 



Length, 0.(!9 mm. 



Difl'ers from flavdUt Girault in having the jiedicel lung ami slender, al)Out four times 

 longer than wide at tiii and from flava Girault in having on'/ the abdomen suffused with 

 orange or pinkish, the club jiallid. distinctly capjied with dusky; and from botli in having 

 the cephalic fourth of the scutum dusky black, the fore wings only light brown ami solely so 

 under the marginal veiu. Discal bristle absent.

9. SIGNIPHORA THUSANOIDES new species. Female. 



Length. 0.9.J mm. 



Like dachjlopii Ashmead but the fuscous s!r-,ie across the fore wing is farther distad, 

 nearly half way between apex of venation and ajiex of blade but a little proximad of half way. 

 Marginal cilia around ajiex of fore wing a little shorter than the stigmal veiu. Proximal 

 joint of hind tarsus a little shorter than the same joint of intermediate tarsus (the two equal in 

 dactylopii). Cephalic tibise jiale ycilowisli. Mesonotum finely transversely lined. The stripe 

 across the fore wing is rather broT' its lateral margins broken. Discal bristle absent. Hind 

 wings very broad, over half the width of the fore wings. Mandibles bidentate. Four ring- 

 joints. Club thrice lor ;er than broad.

10. SIGNIPHORA BEETHOVENI new species. 



Female: — Length, 1.10 mm. Kather robust. 



Dark metallic green, the four proximal tarsal Joints pale yellow. In my talile of flu- 

 earth's species (Girault, 1913) runs to maxima Girault from wliich it differs in that the fore 

 wing bears a distinct smoky cross-stripe from whole of *.he marginal and stigmal veius, otherwise 

 hyaline. The distal margin of this cross-strij)e is nnu-e or less obscurely but deejdy incised 

 at middle and at the proxijiial margin at caudal half a hyaline indentation of rectangular 

 shape (longer than wide cephalo-caudad). Marginal cilia at apex of fore wing not (|uite twice
