is distinctly longer than the third, the two not subequal, as is 

 frequent with cingulatus. Thus, a very dark brownish species with 

 narrow fore wings. 



(From one specimen, similarly magnified.) 



Male. — Not known. 



Described from a female taken from windows in a blacksmith's 

 shop in the town of Ayr, Queensland, November 7th, 1912. 



Habitat. — Australia : Ayr, Queensland. 



Type.— No. Hy 1276, Queensland Museum, Brisbane; the 

 above specimen in xylol-balsam (mounted with the type of 

 Gonatocerus fulgor, described below, and two other specimens). 



8. Seventeenth Species of Gonatocekus from Australia. 

 Genus Gonatocerus, Nees. 

 Gonatocerus fulgor, n. sp. 



Male. — Length, 0-90 mm. 



Like brunoi, Girault, but the fore wings differ in that they are 

 somewhat broader and shaped differently ; thus they are not so 

 regularly rounded at apex, flatter there ; the discal ciliation is 

 noticeably denser (finer and shorter), and there are about thirty-three 

 lines ; also the marginal cilia of both wings are somewhat shorter. 

 The antennae are different from those of brunoi in that the funicle 

 joints are shorter, thus the proximal ones are barely twice longer 

 than wide and the distal ones not more than two and a half times 

 longer than wide. The pedicel is black, and the legs darker than 

 those of brunoi, more especially the posterior tibiae. Discal ciliation 

 near apex of posterior wing moderately dense. 



(From one specimen, similarly magnified.) 



Female. — Not known. 



Described from one male taken from a window in a smithy 

 at Ayr, Queensland, November 7th, 1912. The fore wings of 

 this species approach in shape those of the broader-winged and 

 (usually) brown members of the genus. 



Habitat. — Australia : Ayr, Queensland. 



Type.— No. Hy 1277, Queensland Museum, Brisbane ; the 

 foregoing specimen (mounted in balsam with the type of Gonato- 

 cerus nox and two other specimens).

ON THE ICHNEUMONIDjE OF THE DUBLIN MUSEUM. 



By Claude Morley, F.Z.S. 



Some slight account of the Ichneumonidae contained in the 

 Dublin Museum, so little visited by specialists, may be of use to 

 future students of this family, more especially in respect of the 

 Haliday types therein contained; the types of the species
