 pedicel. Wings hyaline, the venation yellow, the stigmal vein black. Knees, tips of tibia? and 

 the tarsi silvery white. Fnnicle 1 somewhat longer than wide, 2 a little wider than long, 

 1 being nearly as long as the pedicel; clnb somewhat longer than the rest of the flagellum. 

 Fore wings with about 16 regular lines of diseal cilia, the oblique line from the stigmal vein- 

 long (about nine seta?). Hind wings broad, with a pair of distinct lines of diseal cilia cephalad 

 and a very faint pair of lines caudad, the caudal marginal fringes shorter than the greatest 

 width of the blade, the cephalic cilia very short and uniform. Sculpture of thorax very fine,, 

 nearly glazed. Tarsal joints rather long. Middle tibial spur long and slender.

Habitat: Gordonvale (Cairns), Queensland. 



Type : No. Hy 2432, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the specimen on a slide. 



PSEUDBBACHYGBAMMA new genus. 



Female: — Like BrachygrammateUa Girault but the club is solid and the thick marginal 

 vein is shorter, not quite twice longer than wide. Also, there is no hairless line from the- 

 venation. 



Male: — Not known. 



Type: The following species. 



1. PSEUDBRACHYGRAMMA PERPLEXA new species. Genotype. 



Female: — Length, 0.90 mm. 



Agrees in every detail with ApJielinodea speciosissima Girault with which it is congeneric 

 but differing from the original description of that species as follows: The caudal wings are 

 dusky at tip and bear four lines of diseal cilia, the third line disappearing caudad; the comet- 

 shaped cross-stripe on fore wing from apex of the venation is practically all of the infuscation 

 under the venation; the scutellum is contrasting lemon yellow. 



Male: — Not known. 



Described from one female captured in forest, April 15, 1914 (A. P. Dodd). 



H all it at : Cloncurry, Queensland. 



Type: No. Hy2433, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the specimen on a slide with the 

 type of Neocasca multiguttata Girault.

 Aphelinoidea speciosissima Girault, antea. 

 Female: — See antea, pp. 105-107. 



3. PSEUDBRACHYGRAMMA DUBIA new species. 



Male: — Like the female speciosissima; the club enlarged and short, the two joints not 

 greatly differing in length, the pedicel flattened. The two club joints deeply divided, the distal 

 joint short and conical without a terminal seta, the proximal one somewhat wider than long. 

 Agreeing with the description of speciosissima but the head all yellow, the abdomen all black,. 

 the hind wings with six rows of diseal cilia. Middle tibia? with stiff black bristles dorsad. 



A male, December 3, 1913 by sweeping in forest.
