on each side of the meson each reaching somewhat three fourths the way to apex. Thorax 
distinctly longitudinally Uneolated. Hind tibia' more or less dusky just below knees. Marginal 
vein subequal to stigmal. Scape white, antenna black. 
From one female caught on a native grass in forest, April 4, 1914. 
llahiiai: Gordonvale (Cairns), Queensland. 
Type: No. Jly 34^28, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the specimen on a slide. 
A second female taken 'S\ny 13, same place, had the base of abdomen yellow transversely. 
Gekus 1‘AKUFFNS Girault. 
The antenino l>ear two ring-joints. Removed from Vfens. 
1. PARUFENS ARGENTITIBIiE new species. 
Female: — Length, 0.70 nun. 
Jet black, the vertex more or less yellowish, the trochanters, tibia*, knees and tarsi 
silvery white, the wings hyaline. Pedicel nearly twice the length of the funiele joint which is 
ciipshaped, its greatest width (apex) a little more than its length; club acuminate-ovate, longer 
than the scape, without a terminal seta, its three Joints longer than wide. Pedicel apparently 
with a coarse scal.y sculpture. Fore wings moderate in widtli, witli about 15 regular lines of 
(liscal cilia and a curved line from the stigmal vein with about four cilia. Stigmal vein long, 
the marginal longer than it but not much more so. Hind wings short, moderately broad, 
obtusely pointed at apex, bearing four lines of discal cilia, two ce])halad and distinct, two 
enudad and faint; caudal marginal fringes al)out ns long as the greatest width. Marginal 
fringes of fore wing very short. 
Differs from the genotvqie only in having the tibijo silvery besides the tarsi, the funiele 
joint cupshaped and a])parently in having one more line of discal cilia in tlie hind wing. 
Male : — Not known. 
Described from one f(*malc captured December 24, 1912 in forest. 
llahital : Capevilie (l^entland), Queensland. 
Type: No. Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the specimen on a slide with the 
ty])e of Aproslocclii.'i salirnsis Girault. 
2. PARUFENS ARGENTIPES Girault. 
A male of this species was cufftured January 4, 1913 at Capevilie ( Peutland). Queens- 
land, by swee])ing in forest, ft differs from the female in bearing a distinctly 2-jointed funiele, 
the antennse as in the female of P/Vons* Girault. Tlius the female Ufe)is is like the male of 
Panifciis exce]>t that there are two ring-joints in the latter. In the female of arf/entipes, 
tlie pedicel is coarsely sculptured into scales, wliilc the funiele is mucli wider thau long and 
apparently solid while in tlu' male the jiedicel seems simpJe, the funiele plainly 2-Jointed and 
only somewhat wider I ban long, the division transverse. The male genitalia are extruded 
distinctly for some Icngtli (lialf tliat of the al)dt)meii) and resemble an ovii>osi{-or. The 
mandibles arc tridentat'c in both sexes, tlie hind wings with three rows of discal cilia, two 
ce])haJic. The ring-joints in the male are distinct but tlio second one adheres closely to the 
funiele. 
Gexus ABBKLLA Girault. 
1. ABBELLA SEXGUTTATA new species. 
Female : — Very similar to mira Girault but the two distal spots on the abdomen do not 
form cross-stripes but are AvideJy separated, the second spot widest, all wider than long. The 
substigmal spot is very pronounced ns in mira and the club is dusky, its first joint black as 
in mira. 
Male : — Not known. 
From one female taken in forest. March 31, 1914.
