62 MEMOIRS OF THE QUEENSLAND MUSEUM. 
Described from one female captured from the foliage of gum in October, 1913 (A. P. 
Dodd). 
Habitat: Gordonvale (Cairns), Queensland. 
Type: No. Hy 2953, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the above specimen on a slide (with 
two females of Brachychrysocharella dubia Girault). 
8. ABLERUS BHZUSOIDES new species. 
Female :—Length, 0.50 mm. Very short and compact. 
Wholly dark blue-black except first four tarsal joints and joints 2 and 4 of the funicle. 
Fore wings deeply embrowned as in nympha but the fumation is very convex distad extending 
nearly to apex, leaving apical margin and the portion of cephalic margin around to stigmal 
vein, subhyaline. Hind wings more lightly stained and not as far distad. Discal cilia of 
fore wings very fine, barely visible, the marginal cilia short, longest around apex, very much 
as in clisiocampe Ashmead (both wings). Body finely lined, the mesopleurum coarser. Mandi- 
bles tridentate. Extruded portion of ovipositor valves short, white, black at tips. Antenne 
much as 1 figured for clisiocampe but funicle 4 is a little shorter than 2. Evidently closely 
allied with the North American clisiocampe but the tips of tibiw# are not silvery white, the 
club is uniformly dark, the extruded valves of the ovipositor are white except at tips and 
the wings are infuscated somewhat farther distad. The very short form (from dorsal aspect 
almost round without the head) is also characteristic. Of the Australian species closest to 
nympha from which it may be easily distinguished. 
From one female taken by sweeping in forest, September 2, 1913. 
Habitat: Gordonyale (Cairns), Queensland. 
Type: No. Hy 2954, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the specimen on a slide. 
9. ABLERUS SOCRUS new species. 
Female :—Length, 0.58 mm. 
In my table of species runs to hyalinus but much smaller, the funicle is wholly white 
(joints 1 and 3 in hyalinus dusky), funicle 4 is somewhat shorter, only slightly longer than 
wide; funicle 1 a little longer than 2 (a little shorter in hyalinus); the mandibles are smaller 
and the marginal fringes somewhat longer (in hyalinus somewhat less than-a third the greatest 
wing width). Otherwise the same except that the head is wholly white except lower margin 
of face and margins of occiput and the stripe across at antennw. There is a distinct narrow 
silvery cross-stripe just caudad of scutellum. Fringes of fore wing moderate, somewhat over 
a third the greatest wing width. Wings hyaline and apparently different from those of 
hyalinus in that there are not several lines of coarse cilia just proximad of stigmal vein. 
From two females taken in forest, April 16, 1914 (A. P. Dodd). 
Habitat: Cloncurry, Queensland. 
Type: No. Hy 2955, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, a specimen on a slide with type 
Archenonus albifemur Girault. 
10. ABLERUS HOWARDII new species. 
Female :—Length, 0.60 mm. 
In my table of species runs to pcincarei from which it differs in having the fore wings 
hyaline. Differs from piceipes in the clear wings and the shorter marginal fringes of the 
fore wing. Valves of ovipositor black at tip. Club somewhat stouter than usual. Vertex 
white. Funicle 1 a little longer than wide, shorter and narrower than the pedicel, 2 sub- 
quadrate, also 4 but the latter distinctly wider than the others. Longest marginal fringe of 
tore wing about a fourth the greatest wing width.
