MEMOIRS OF THE QUEENSLAND MUSEUM. 
9. ABLERUS POINCAREI new species. 
Female: — Length, 0.7 5 mm., excluding ovipositor valves which are black and about a 
third the abdomen’s length. 
Like speciosus but the femora and tibia? are eoncolorous except toward tip, not distinctly 
ringed with the eoncolorous color, the stripe across the fore wing is fainter and nearly straight 
and the fore wings are a little narrower ; the diseal cilia under the marginal vein are more 
scattered and regular. Antennal joints somewhat shorter and stouter. 
Male : — Not known. 
Described from one female captured by sweeping in the forest along the banks of Cape 
River, January 6, 1913. 
Halitat: Capevillc (Pentland), Queensland. 
Type: No. Hy 1740, Queensland Museum, the above specimen on a slide (with the type 
female of Parufens argentipes Girault). 
10. ABLERUS LONGFELLOWI new species. 
Female: — Length, 1.25 mm., excluding the ovipositor. 
Closely resembling both speciosus and sainipierrei. Prom the former it may be recognized, 
at once because the band across the fore wing from the apex of the marginal vein is incomplete,, 
fading out before reaching the caudal margin of the blade, the femora and tibia? are wholly 
black except at tip and at the knees, the fore wings are broader, more densely ciliated and the 
marginal cilia quite short. From sainipierrei, it differs distinctly in having the black femora 
and tibia), in having only three or four coarser lines of diseal cilia under the marginal vein 
(this ciliation finer in saint, pierrei and in about seven or eight lines), in the incomplete stripe 
across the fore wing and in the fact that this stripe is nearly wholly under the apex of the 
marginal vein (in the other species — sainipierrei — this stripe is somewhat narrower and is from 
the middle of the stigrnal vein which is more colored than in longfellowi). Differing from all 
species known to me in bearing long antenna?, the first funiele joint longer than usual, nearly 
twice the length of the pedicel, the second thrice the length of the short third. Valves of 
ovipositor whitish at tip. 
Male : — Unknown. 
Described from one female captured by sweeping in the forest, April 18, 1912. This 
truly remarkable species is respectfully dedicated to Henry W. Longfellow, the poet. 
Hatitat: Nelson (Cairns), Queensland. 
Type: No. Hy 1741, Queensland Museum. 
11. ABLERUS ELEGANTISSIMUS new species. 
Female: — Length, LOO mm., excluding ovipositor. 
Like grotiusi and pulehriceps in wing pattern and more like the latter but differing as 
follows: — The clear and naked spot under the marginal vein is smaller being much narrower 
and shorter, the pattern is darker and more clear; the short third funiele joint is longer, 
plainly longer than wide (not a little wider than long) and the extreme tip of the valves of the 
ovipositor are not white. Vertex along margins of eyes silvery white, also a stripe across 
ventral ends of eyes bordered ventrad by a black cross-stripe. May be distinguished at once 
from grotiusi in having the second funiele joint plainly longer than the third not short and 
subequal to it.
