AUSTRALIAN HYMEN OPTEBA CHALCIEOIDEA, II. — GIBAULT. 
123 
Described from a single female captured by sweeping forest growths, 
November 3, 1912. 
Habitat: Proserpine, Queensland. 
Type: No. Hy 1589, Queensland Museum, the above specimen on a slide 
with the type female of P. grotiusi Girault. 
Dedicated to Charles Darwin. 
15. POLYNEMA HAECKELI new species. 
Male: — Length, 1 -50 mm. 
Like franklini and sieboldi but differing in that the stripe across the fore 
wing is deeper than in the former and the hind femora and tibiae black, the 
intermediate tibiae dusky. Legs otherwise orange yellow. Scape and pedicel 
dusky pallid, the rest of the antenna black. Funicle joints over thrice the 
length of the pedicel, thus longer than with the specimen described as the male 
of sieboldi (which has the hind femur blackish at tip). 
Female : — Not known. 
Described from one male captured by sweeping jungle in a gorge, July 
26, 1913. 
Dedicated to Ernst Haeckel. 
Habitat: Meerawa (Cairns), Queensland. 
Type: No. Hy 1590, Queensland Museum, the above specimen on a slide 
with the type of lodgei , described next. 
16. POLYNEMA LODGEI new species. 
Female: — Length, 2-00 mm. 
Black, the legs brown, black at tip of hind tibia?; pedicel and joints 1, 4 
and 5 of funicle yellowish, the scape darker, joints 2 and 3 of funicle brownish 
black, joint 6 and the club jet black. Of the build of grotiusi but at once 
distinguished from all the species of the genus in bearing fore wings like those 
of Oonatocerus mirissimus Girault but the broad, longitudinal black stripe does 
not extend half way to the venation. Discal ciliation arranged in about from 
28-30 lines, disappearing some distance out from the venation, the longest 
marginal cilia short, only about a fifth or sixth the greatest wing width. Second 
funicle joint longest, a fourth or more longer (that is distinctly longer) than the 
third, the first distinctly longer than any of the three distal funicle joints, longer 
than the pedicel, a little over half the length of the scond joint. 
Male : — Not known. 
Described from one female captured by sweeping in jungle bordering a 
stream in forest country gradually verging to jungle, July 26, 1913.
