the stigmal short, perpendicular; no radial cell; basal vein 

 a distinct brown line, the median and recurrent very faint 

 ones. Hindwings'Vithout a closed cell. Antennae 15-jointed r 

 scape slender ; nagellum without a distinct club, the apical 

 joints feebly thickened. 



The structure of the abdominal segments, in conjunction 

 with the wing venation, readily separates the genus. Allied 

 with Stylaclista, Dodd, but differs in the form of the 

 abdomen. 



Type. — The following species. 



ACLISTOIDES RETRACTUS, 11. Sp. 



9. Black, the apical abdominal segment ferruginous; 

 coxae fuscous, the legs brownish-yellow, the femora and 

 posterior tibiae more or less dusky ; antennae black, the 

 apical joint pale lemon-yellow. Head, scutum, and scufcellum 

 smooth, shining, also the abdomen, the segments after 2 with 

 scattered, long, fine setae. Forewings long and broad ; sub- 

 hyaline ; discal cilia coarse and dense ; venation fuscous ; 

 stigmal vein boot-shaped, with the apex pointing distad. 

 Scape slender, barely as long as the three following joints 

 united ; pedicel nearly twice as long as wide ; first funicle 

 joint one-half longer than pedicel, second about as long as 

 pedicel, the others shortening, the penultimate as wide as 

 long, the last joint almost twice as long as preceding. Length, 

 2-50 mm. 



Hab. — Queensland: Cairns district. One female, low- 

 land jungle, October, 1915 (A. P. Dodd). 



Type. — I. 5406, South Australian Museum. A female 

 on a tag, antennae and forewincrs on a slide. 



Pantolytoidea pseudoclavata, n. sp. 



9 . Black, the thorax and petiole very deep-red : legs 

 golden-yellow ; first seven antennal joints red, the next five 

 black, the last three contrasting intense lemon-yellow. With 

 the general structure of the other species of the genus. Head 

 much more transverse than in the other species : perpendicular 

 from ocelli to antennal prominence, the latter thus much less 

 distinct from dorsal aspect. Abdomen rather more than 

 twice as long as greatest width. Forewings uniformly lightly 

 infuscate ; stigmal vein fully one-half as long as the marginal.* 

 Antennae without a distinct club, the last eight joints only 

 slightly thickened : pedicel twice as long as wide : first funicle 

 joint much longer, four times as long as wide, 2-5 shortening, 

 the fifth not twice as long as wide : 6-12 very gradually 

 shortening, the twelfth quadrate. Length, 2'40 mm.
