MEMOmS OF TEE QVEEKSLANE UVSEVE. 
perfectly simple, no cross-line of foveie before tip; propodeiim perfectly plane, polished; 
no pubescence. Thorax jet black, also distal one or t^Yo funiele joints. Otherwise in color 
like the type forms. Petiole longer than the long hind eoxa3. 
Cajitured September 13, 1913 at Knranda (A. P. Dodd). 
Eahitai : Knranda, Queensland. 
Type: Ko. Ey2469, Queensland ^Insenni, Brisbane, the above female on a slide. 
2. POLYNEMA FRANKLINI Girault. 
This species also differs from ronsseaui in haying no disto-ceplialic spot on the fore 
wing. 
3. POLYNEMA SAPPHO Girault. 
The color of the legs given in the table of species is correct. 
4. POLYNEMA LODGEI Girault. • 
Anted, first supplement, p. 123, fourth line from bottom seond read second. 
5. POLYNEMA FRATER Girault. 
The type is a male, the type locality Ingham, Queensland. 
6. POLYNEMA ROMANESI Girault. 
In the table of species (first supplement, p. 127), this species should be included within 
the group containing draperi and allies. Jt differs from draperi in its greater size and 
longer antennal joints. Thus, funiele 2 is only about twice the length of the pedicel in male 
draperi, plainly thrice its length in male romancsi. The tarsal joints are much longer. From 
nordaui female, romancsi differs in the greater slenderness as with draperi and the hind legs 
are wholly orange yellow. The first joint of caudal tarsus is distinctly less than half the 
length of the caudal tibia in nordaui (somewhat less so in draperi) but in romanc.n it is 
about half the length of the caud.al tibia or a little inore. In romonesi, joint 1 of the caudal 
tarsus is distinctly longer than any of the funiele joints while in male draperi it is about 
as long as the longest joints of the funiele in that species. In female nordaui the ta^rsal 
joint is a little shorter than funiele joint 2, Types of the species named re-examined. 
7. POLYNEMA WALLACEI new species. 
Female: — Length, 2 mm. 
Characterised by bearing on the fore wing lougitudinally a large subovate fuscoits 
marking which fills over the distal third of the blade and thus running to lodyei Girault 
from which it differs in tluit the longitudinal marking in that species is uniform and central, 
columnar; also in Jodyei the club is .short and stout while in this ucav species it is long and 
slender; in lodfjei, also, tlie distal funiele joints are shorter. The wings are about the same 
otliorAcise. Anteniue black except the first three joints Avhich together with the first two j)aii'3 
of legs (except coxie and a ring around first femur at l)asG), the petiole except distal half 
and the liiiid tarsi, are chrome yellow. ITind legs somewhat darker. Funiele joint 6 over 
twice longer than Avide, shorfest, somcAAduit longer than the pedicel. Ovipositor just tipping 
the abdomen. In lodyei the fore Avings are a little broader and funiele joint 6 is not twice 
longer than Avide but subetjual to the pedicel. Difl’ers from grotiusi in being smaller, the 
nonexserted OA’ipositor, the different color ami somewhat longer antennal club. First two or 
three abdominal segments long, the others transverse. Short carinm inclose the prox}odeal 
spiracle. Cross-groove of scutellum finely ]>unctate. Scutellum, XAronotum, scutum, axilloB, 
parapsides (cxcei:)t laterad centrally) polished; vertex faintly sculptured; scutellum Avith 
indication of a median groove at base (a longer tl)aTi wide fovea) ; abdomen jiolished. 
Propodeimi with a distinct median carina, AA’hicli forks at a])ex; its spiracle minute.
