160 MEMOIRS OF THE QUEENSLAND MUSEUM. 



14. GONATOCERUS TRICOLOR Girault. 



Antea, first supplement, p. 113, omit last sentence in line 2-3 as irrelevant. 



What appeared to be the female was captured May 20, 1914, by sweeping in forest,, 

 type locality. Distal half of abdomen and hind tibia? (only) in this specimen dusky black.. 

 The antenna? are similar to those of bicolor and tricolor may be but a variety of bicolor but. 

 very doubtfully so. 



15. GONATOCERUS GREGI new species. 



Male: — Length, 1.75 mm. 



Jet black; first two pairs of knees, tarsi (kind tarsi darker) and cephalic tibia? yellowish. 

 Fore wing with two broad cross-stripes of dusky, the first across a little distad of venation 

 (longer eephalo-caudad than proximo-distad), the second at apex, wider than the first, occupying 

 about a fourth of the wing surface and separated from the first by a space narrower than the 

 width of the latter. Thus, very similar to renani except that the cephalic femora are black, the 

 first band of the fore wing is very distinctly much less than its own width distad of apex of 

 venation aud there is no infuscation under the marginal vein. Also, there is no median grooved 

 line on the scutum ; the proximal margin of second stripe of wing is less convex and the hind 

 wings are dusky at tip. Cephalic tibia? armed with scattered prickle-like seta? {renani also). 

 Fnnicle joints nearly twice longer than wide, 1 shorter, all distinctly longer than the pedicel. 

 The discal cilia of fore wing nearly reaches venation in this species (some distance distad of 

 it in renani). Hind tibial spurs double. 



From one male caught by miscellaneous sweeping, May 11, 1914 (A. P. Dodd). 



Habitat : Murwillumbah, New South Wales. 



Type : No. Hy 2456, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the specimen on a slide. 



16. GONATOCERUS FLOSCULUS new species. 



Female: — Of the same build and so on of sliakespearei but black, the venter of prothorax 

 and under sides of mesonotum yellowish, the last two pairs of tibia? and scape dusky, the caudal 

 femur dark like their tibia?. Knees, femora, tips of tibia? and the tarsi pale yellowish. Antenna? 

 about as in the named species but the scape is more compressed, the distal four funicle joints 

 somewhat longer, also the club. Fore wings as in shahespearei but the marginal vein is a little 

 longer. The ovipositor is a little shorter. Scutum with an obscure median sulcus centrally. 

 Thorax rather coarsely coriaceous, the propodeum smooth, noncarinate. Scutellum simple. 

 Otherwise as in slialcespearei. Colored much like nonsulcatus but that species has no obscure 

 median groove on scutum, the propodeum bears a median carina and the fore wings bear 

 extremely fine discal ciliation which is very faint. Moreover, nonsulcatus has a normal abdomen 

 (as probably all males of the species with females of the peculiar habitus of this species do). 

 In nonsulcatus, the cephalic tibia is no longer than the combined lengths of the first three joints 

 of the tarsus; in this species it is longer than the three joints taken together. In this species 

 grooves on each side of the meson of propodeum as in angustiventris Girault and Dodd are 

 faintly indicated. 



From one female caught in forest, Tweed River, May 4, 1914 (A. P. Dodd). 



Habitat: Tweed Heads, New South Wales. 



Type: No. Hy 245? ', Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the specimen on a slide with male 

 type of Jiaecl'eli. 



17. GONATOCERUS COMPTEI Girault. 



Female: — The distal half of the abdomen sometimes jet, the scutellum with a large 

 round black spot at base centrally and the funicle joints all a little longer. Base of abdomen 

 sometimes not striped. 



A female, forest. May 27, 1914, type locality.
