MEMOIRS OF THE QUEENSLAND MUSEUM. 
Genus GONATOCERUS Nees * 
1. GONATOCERUS CQMPTEI Girault. 
Fresh specimens of this species show a large arrow-shaped fuscous spot 
in the lateral aspect of the abdomen at distal half. The dark markings are 
variable. 
Proserpine, Queensland, November, 1912, by sweeping grass in forest. 
Males. Also at Quingilli in September, same conditions. 
2. GONATOCERUS SPINOZAI Girault. Male, 
Similar to the female but the abdomen transversely striped dorsad with 
six black stripes, the propodeum purplish black. Funicle joints 2-4 and 9-10 
subequal, longest, each about thrice longer than wide, joint 8 being shortest. 
Antemue 13-jointed. 
Habitat: Nelson (Cairns), Queensland. Forest. 
3. GONATOCERUS AU3TRALIENSIS (Perkins). Male and female. 
Ooctonus australiensis Perkins, 1905, pp. 191, 193, 194, 195, pi. xiii, fig. 2 (lowest two figs.). 
Gonatocerus australiensis (Perkins), 1912, p. 20. 
Differs from all the species known to me from Australia, all of the species 
so far described, in having varicoloured antennas in the female, joints 5-7 being 
white; the first funicle joint is longer than the pedicel; black. The thorax of 
this species should be carefully examined since the species has the facies some- 
what of Cosmocomoidea . 
4. GONATOCERUS AYRENSIS Girault. Female. 
Golden yellow, head dusky, tip of abdomen, and a narrow transverse band 
before it, black. Funicle and club black, all funicle joints long except the first 
and last, the first two-thirds the length of the slender second joint. Close to 
baconi Girault but the proximal tarsal joints are longer, the thorax is all yellow 
and the first two pairs of legs are lighter. 
Habitat: Ayr, Queensland. Forest. 
Type: No. Hy 1275, Queensland Museum. 
5. GONATOCERUS NOX Girault. Female. 
Similar to cingidatvs Perkins but the whole body uniformly sooty 
brownish, nearly black, coloured like most species of Anaphoidca. Also the 
fourth funicle joint is distinctly longer than the third. 
Habitat: Ayr, Queensland. Forest. 
Type: No. Hy 1276, Queensland Museum. 
Cosmocomoidea renani and C. grotiusi belong here.
