2. ARTHROLYSIS TRILONGIFASCIATA new species. 



F( iindr: — Length, "l mm. 



Very similar indeed to //(ir/rrH/rw Girault .-iiid I lodd but somewhat more slender and all of 

 each leg is golden yellow; the median stripe of aliilomen extends distinctly distad of the distal 

 ends of the marginal stripes (tlic distal ends of the tliree stripes even in the first species) and 

 each end of it is about equally distant from base and apex (in the first sjiecies, the distal end 

 is farther from ajiex than the proximal is from base). Also, the club is distinctly longer than 

 funicle 1; funicles 1-4 subequal, about twice the length of the pedicel; fnniele G somewhat 

 longer than wide. Scape and pedicel golden yellow; rest of antenna black. Mandibles 4- and 

 5-dentate. Sculpture coarse, uniform scaly ]iunctation over the entire thorax (closer, denser, tlie 

 punctures small, roundish In flavivriitris) . Both s[iecies blue black with a saddlelike neck on 

 propodeum and with the parapsidal furrows obsolete or ne:nly. 



Described from one female captured by sweeping in the forest, May 8. 1IM4. 



Habitat: Gordonvale (Cairns), Queensland. 



Type: No. Hii-il76. Queensland Museum, Urisbane, the female on a tag with type 

 Jliirifiiilris; an antenna and a hind leg on a slide. 



3. ARTHROLYSIS MIRIFICUS new sijecies. 



l<'(iiiaU : — Similar to lUii-in iilns CJ. and I), but the marginal stripes of abdomen extend 

 from base nearly to apex, the median stripe is correspondingly longer, its apex even with the 

 ajiex of the marginal stripes and a little nearer to aiiex cjf abdomen than the proximal 

 end is to its base (distinctly the other way round in llnni-cntris). .Vlso, the three stripes are 

 more distinctly broken at each segmental incision, otherwise similar to the nameil species. 

 Antennal club not seen. 



Described from one female captnreil l>y sweeping in the forest. August 14, 11M4. 



Habitat: Gordonvale (Cairns), Queensland. 



Type: No. Hy.!177, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, tlie female on a tag. 



A second female was cajitnred September "Jtl, I'.llf by sweeping grass in forest, at 

 C'apeville (Pentland), Queensland. 



The three sjiecies greatly resemble Apiniir liniiiifn.ieiala Giranit with which they have 

 lieen comjiared.

 Pronotum short, distinctly separated. Scutum much wider than long, para]isidal furrows half 

 complete. Scuftlhim simple. Axilla* widely separated. rro[>odeum not long, with a sliort neck;
