From a single female captured with Gonatocerus saintpierrei. 
A jungle species. 
Habitat : Australia — Kuranda, Queensland. 
Type: In the Queensland Museum with that of Gonatocerus

Genus Gonatocerus Nees. 
1. Gonatocerus dies new species. 
$ : Length, 1.05 mm. 
Jet black. Face, parts of scutum and knees obscure golden yellow. 
Wings hyaline. Base of abdomen more or legs obscurely yellowish; also 
the scape up each side. Belongs to the group of broad-winged species and 
is nearest to helmholtzii and the following species but the wings are notice- 
ably less densely ciliate, the ciliation coarser and the ovipositor is plainly 
exserted for a length equal to a fourth that of the abdomen, the latter as 
in the North American rivalis. Marginal cilia of fore wing short, the mar- 
ginal vein short. 
From one specimen, the same magnification. 
c? : Not known. 
Described from a single female captured with Polynema austra- 
liense described above. 
Habitat: Australia — Capeville (Pentland), Queensland. 
Type: The above specimen mounted with the type female of 
Polynema australiense. • 
2. Gonatocerus saintpierrei new species. 
c? : Length, 1.80 mm. Very large for the family. 
Jet black, the abdomen suffused with brownish; legs reddish brown, the 
coxae and posterior tibiae darker, the tarsi lighter; scape and pedicel 
reddish brown to orange, the remainder of antenna black. Fore wings with 
a midlongitudinal, subcylindrical fuscous stripe extending from near apex 
proximad a little more than half way to the marginal vein, the latter very 
long. Marginal cilia of fore wing short, the longest not more than between 
a sixth and seventh of the greatest wing width, across the latter about thirty- 
five lines of moderately coarse discal ciliation. Fore wings about as broad 
as those of the Hawaiian Polynema rubriventris and of Gonatocerus spin- 
ozai of Australia. Much larger than Gonatocerus ater Foerster. 
From one specimen, similarly magnified.
