2. Gonatocerus lomonosoffi new species. 



Fe male: Length, 0.70 mm. Small for the genus. 



Jet black and thus distinguished from all species of the genus 

 in Australia excepting nox, from which it differs as follows: It is 

 smaller, the fore wings are distinctly not so slender but rather of 

 the broader type (yet not wide, only about fifteen lines of discal 

 cilia), the antennae have the first three funicle joints short and 

 subequal, the fourth only a little longer than the third, the latter 

 not longer than the second as in nox, the fifth is plainly twice the 

 length of the third, not so in nox; in the fore wings the discal 

 ciliation absent for the most part under the marginal vein and the 

 body is somewhat darker. Wings hyaline. 



Male: Not known. 



Described from a single female specimen captured by sweeping 

 the the jungle, May 18, 1913 (A. P. Dodd). 



Habitat: Australia — Kuranda, Queensland.

Genus Polynema Haliday. 



1. Polynema rousseaui new species. 

 Female: Length, 1.05 mm. 



Like sieboldi Girault but the third funicle joint is longer, 

 subequal to the second and the hind femur is black, the hind tibia 

 black at distal half, the intermediate tibia with a dusky ring 

 around it just before tip. Also the large spot on the fore wing is 

 blacker and somewhat farther distad, farther from the marginal 

 vein; and the second funicle joint is black like the rest of the 

 funicle. The distal three funicle joints are all decidedly shorter, 

 each distinctly shorter than one (each subequal to or longer than 1 

 in sieboldi). In sieboldi, the flagellum beyond 1 is dusky brownish. 



Male: Not known. 



From one female captured by sweeping in a jungle pocket, 

 May 26, 1913 (A. P. Dodd). 



Habitat: Australia — Nelson (Cairns), Queensland.
