MEMOIRS OF TEE QUEENSLAND MUSEUM. 
Habitat: Meerawa (Cairns), Queensland. 
Type: No. Hy 1591, Queensland Museum, the above specimen on a slide 
with the type of haecheli . 
This truly remarkable species, a striking example of the development of 
a similar wing pattern in unrelated genera, is respectfully dedicated to Sir Oliver 
W. Lodge for his part in the development of a difficult part of human psychology, 
namely, that relating to telepathy and prevision. 
17- POLYNEMA FRATER new species. 
Male : — Length, 0 -60 mm. 
Exactly like draperi Girault but the fore wings like those of nordaui ; also 
on the scutellum there is a pair of setigerous spots at proximal third or so which 
are closer together than are the straight parapsidal furrows at apex ; in draperi, 
a similar pair is as far apart as the curved furrows are at apex (caudal margin 
of scutum) ; in ' nordaui , the hind femur is black distad but more than this 
nordaui seems to differ in that there is a pair of minute setigerous dots at 
cephalic margin of scutellum at the meson which nearly touch each other. 
( Antenna? mi ssing. ) 
Described from one male taken by sweeping grass and sedges in a boggy 
meadow inhabited by Pandanus , July 17, 1912. 
Female: — The same. Second funicle joint much the longest, a third 
longer than joint 3, while 4 is very short, subequal to 1, distinctly shorter than 
5 or 6 which are distinctly shorter than 3 and the pedicel. 
From one specimen captured in the forest at Nelson, August 12, 1913 
(A. P. Dodd). 
Habitat: Ingham and Nelson, Queensland. 
Type: No. Hy 1592, Queensland Museum, the above specimen on a slide 
with a female of P. pax Girault ; a female with the type of zolai. 
18. POLYNEMA MENDELEEFI new species. 
Male : — Length, 1 *40 mm. 
Exactly similar to zolai but somewhat more robust and differing in the 
structure of the fore wings. Thus in this species these organs are more densely 
ciliate bearing about 20-22 lines of discal cilia, the latter are distinct (indistinct 
in zolai) and normal and extend plainly farther proximad, in fact three fourths 
the way from apex to venation (only about half way in zolai) ; also the marginal 
cilia of the fore wing are longer, somewhat more (the longest) than a fifth the 
greatest wing width. Cephalic tibice yellow. 
Female: — Not known.
