shorter than 4 or 5* C'iub rather long. Longest marginal cilia of fore wing between a fourth

E'emale: — Length, 2.25 mm. 
Like but the abdomen and the hind tibiio arc black, the first ftinicle joint 
over twice longer than wide and slenderer, joints 2 and 3 longest, distinctly over twice the 
length of the pedicel. IMore like poincani but the hiiul tibim and the pedicel are black, the 
longitudinal black stripe on the fore wing^from immediate apex and is longer, abruptly fading 
but the fainter portion continuous, not broken, leaving a faint. ])roximal spot in the mid- 
longitudinal line. Tliorax shining black, with no distinct scul])ture. the ])ronotuiii long and 
quadrate and with (‘it her a groove or a earina along each side like parapsidal furrows; 
mesopra^scutuni absmit. Seutellum very long. Hind tibial spurs double. Fore wings somewhat 
broader than those in poincarcL 
Described from one female captinvd by sw'eeping in jungle, fleptember 15, 1913

the type of G. carhjlei). 
12. GONATOCERUS HUMBOLDTI Girault. Genotype of Agonatocerus. 
AgoaatocpvKS liumholdti Girault. 
This species wms originally described erroneously, ]>arts of tlie antenna? having been lost 
Avbile two pieces of them became so disposed in the mount of the single specimen as to make 
these organs ajq'ear 13-Joiriterl. Also, the median sulcus of the scutum is in reality a yellow’ 
line down the meson; the lateral margins of the scutum are also yellow. Tiie sjiecies is valid 
but resembles Juiyybeasi and nietsr]u)ikoJ)i. Prom the former it differs in the color of the 
thorax and abdomen, it.s slender build and narrow fore wings; and from inetschnih-ojfi' in 
having the yellow on the tliornx, more yellow at base of abdomen, in the color of the legs 
and the more graceful body and n])pendages. Also, the distal half of the scaj»e is colored. 
The four fuuicle distal joints are eacli about twice longer than wide. 
Compared with types of all Australian s])ecies. 
13. GONATOCERUS AUSTRALICA Girault. Genotype of GonatocerouLs Girault. 
Gonatoccroidef^ aufitralica Girault. 
This species appears to be valid but should l)e compared with the Hdlowing from which 
it seems to differ as follows: From goeihei in that the legs are colored and all of thorax, 
being otherwise the same as goethei; from haeclicli in lacking the swollen hind femora present 
in that species; from liinjghen.si in having fiinicle 4 longer than ij and not longer than the 
pedicel; from faj^dativentri.s in not having jileiirum or lateral line of abdomen yellow and tliere 
is no regular discal ciliation under the marginal vein but only a Y-shaped line; from darivini 
in that the fore wings are as in haeckeli. 
In the species fasciaiivciitriH, the so-called yellow stripes across the abdomen are the 
incisions bet\;ecn the segments.
