17.54S 146. 06E, 13-14 May 1980, same collectors (Canberra, 
Davis); 1 male, Petford, 29 April 1976, R. I. Storey (Canberra). 
Non-type material: 9 females were seen from Bribie Is., Midstream 
Falls National Park, Slacks Creek, Toowomba and Shiptons Flat. 
These are not designated as paratypes due to the uncertainty in 
associating the sexes. 
Discussion. Diagnostic features of ora include: the absence of 
notauli, face smooth below frontal projection, frontal projection 
broadly V-shaped and nearly linear in front view, and head and 
thorax concolorous. The wing venation most closely resembles that 
of maculata and nigracephala. 
This is one of the few species with associated females. In this 
particular instance the females have the same wing venation, scutal 
sculpturing, hindleg flanges, and frontal projection as the males. 
Loboscelidia novoguineana Kimsey, new species 
Holotype male. Body length 2.5 mm. Frontal projection nearly 
linear in front view, triangular in profile; frons with fine dense rugae 
medially; cervical projection broadly curved in profile; scape with 
flange indicated as small, subbasal, dark lobe; gena not broaded 
behind eye; F-I and II lengths 2.3X breadths; pronotum broader 
than long along transverse and longitudinal midlines; scutum with 
parapsides and incomplete notauli; propodeal projection large and 
evenly rounded, about 1.4 MOD high; femora and tibiae with sparse 
macrochaetae; midtibial flange narrow, extending about 0.5 tibial 
length; hindfemoral flange extending along half femoral length; 
hindtibia weakly bicarinate along posterior margin, flange 0.75X 
tibial length; forewing Rs 2X, R1 0.5X and cu-a subequal to stigmal 
vein length. Body dark brown, forewing weakly maculate, with dark 
band across Rs and Rl. 
Female unknown. 
Holotype male. — NE New Guinea: East Highlands, Aiyura, 
1800-1900 m, 6 January 1965, J. and M. Sedlacek (Honolulu). 
Paratypes: 2 males (Honolulu); Karimui, 1080 m, 9 July 1963, M. 
Sedlacek, New Britain: Gazelle Pen., Mt. Sinewit, 900 m, 5-10 
November 1962, Sedlacek (Honolulu). 
Discussion. This species most closely resembles nigricephala in 
wing venation, and the incomplete notauli. The slender hindleg 
flanges, concolorous head and thorax, and linear frontal projection,
