Loboscelidia maculata Kimsey, new species 
(Fig. 5) 
Holotype male. Body length 3.5 mm. Frontal projection trilo- 
bate in front view with medial lobe elongate and apically truncate, 
sharply truncate in profile; frons smooth; vertex with short elevated 
welt on outer side of hindocellus; gena angular behind eye; cervical 
projection broadly convex in profile; scape with flange extending 
entire length; F-I-II lengths 1.8X breadths; pronotum broader than 
long along transverse and longitudinal midlines; scutum without 
notauli, parapsides indicated by broad grooves; propodeal projec- 
tion angulate, less than 1 MOD tall; femora with few macrochaetae; 
tibiae with numerous ones; midtibial flange extending two-thirds of 
length; hindfemoral flange extending most of femoral length; hind- 
tibial posterior margin bicarinate, flange extending two-thirds of 
tibial length; forewing (fig. 5), R1 0.6X, cu-a and Rs 2.2X as long as 
stigmal vein. Body dark brown, forewing with dark brown maculae. 
Female unknown. 
Holotype male. — Australia: Qld., Mulgrave R. Rd., 7 km sw 
Bellenden Ker, 2 April 1984, A. Calder and T. Weir (Canberra). 
Paratypes: 2 males, Mossman Gorge, 17-23 February 1984, 
L. Masner (Ottawa); 1 male, Kuranda, 17-24 February 1984, 
L. Masner (Ottawa); 1 male, Shiptons Flat, 16-18 May 1981, 
A. Calder and J. Feehan (Canberra). 
Discussion. The absence of notauli and wing venation indicate a 
close relationship with ora , and less so australis. L. maculata can be 
further distinguished from these species by the subantennal projec- 
tion acutely V-shaped, appearing blunt and truncate in profile, the 
vertex with a welt or fold on the outer side of the hindocellus, and 
the wings darkly maculate. 
Loboscelidia nigricephala Kimsey, new species 
Holotype male. Body length 3 mm. Frontal projection broadly 
V-shaped in front view, truncate in profile; frons with fine dense 
scratches or rugae, with short, obtuse lateral fold extending dorsad 
from frontal projection; cervical projection broadly curved in pro- 
file; scape with flange dark, forming large basal lobe; gena broad- 
ened behind eye; F-I and II lengths 1.8X breadths; pronotum 
broader than long along transverse and longitudinal midlines; scu- 
tum with parapsides and incomplete notauli; propodeal angles large 
and evenly rounded, about 1.8 MOD high; femora and tibiae with
