Kimsey — Loboscelidiinae from Malaysia 
69 
Loboscelidia australis Kimsey, new species 
(Fig. 1) 
Holotype male. Body length 2.5 mm. Frontal projection narrow, 
elongate and apically truncate in front view, forming an acute tooth 
in profile (fig. 1), and with smaller projection beneath antennal 
socket; frons smooth, with obtuse fold extending along ocular mar- 
gin from antennal socket; cervical projection strongly convex in 
profile; scape with small, short, transparent edge near base; F-I 
length 1.6X breadth; F-II length 1.3X breadth; pronotum as long as 
broad along transverse and longitudinal midlines; scutum without 
notauli, parapsides indicated by shallow lines; propodeal projec- 
tions angular, less than 1 MOD tall; femora and tibiae with few, fine 
macrochaetae; midtibial flange very narrow extending less than half 
tibial length; hindfemoral flange large, two-thirds femoral length; 
hindtibial posterior margin with 1 carina, flange two thirds tibial 
length; forewing R1 0.5X, cu-a 0.6X and Rs 1.3X as long as stigmal 
vein. Body reddish brown, somewhat darker on mesopleuron, meta- 
thorax and propodeum; wings maculate. 
Female unknown. 
Holotype male.— Australia: N.S.W., Spencer, 11-14 January 
(Gainesville). 
Discussion. The majority of Australian Loboscelidia, including 
australis, lack notauli on the scutum. The elongate and noselike 
subantennal projection of australis will immediately distinguish it 
from these. Additional diagnostic features include: cu-a slightly 
more than half as long and R1 half as long as stigmal vein, and 
hindtibial flange only extending about two-thirds of tibial length. 
Loboscelidia indica Kimsey, new species 
(Figs. 2, 6) 
Holotype male. Body length 4 mm. Frontal projection broadly 
bilobate, lower carina forming a narrow rectangle, broadly truncate 
in profile (fig. 2); frons smooth with sharp fold extending from 
frontal projection, along ocular margin to hindocellus; cervical pro- 
jection strongly convex in profile; scape with transparent flange 
along entire length; F-I and II length 2.2X breadth; pronotum as 
long as broad along transverse and longitudinal midlines; scutum
