From two females eaptnred in jungle, February 4, 1914 (A. P. Dodd). 
Dedicated to A. F. Wallace. 
Eahiiat : Babinda, Queensland. 
Type: Ko. Hy2470, Queensland iluseum, Brisbane, one female on a slide with a 
female of 'inendcli. 
8. POLYNEMA ALIGHERINI new species. 
Female: — Length, 1 mm. 
In my table of Australian species runs to spoiccri and allies (austraUeyise and 
pax) but differs from all of them in bearing distinctly shorter marginal fringes on the 
fore wing, the longest of these cilia being not a half of the greatest wing width but between 
a third and a half of that distance. Black, legs and antenum pale golden yellowy club black; 
distal three fimicle joints more or less dusky. Funicle 1 subelongate, distinctly longer than 
the pedicel, 2 longest, a third longer than 1, a little shorter than 2; next three funicle 
joints each shortening, each widening distad. (> a little shorter than 1 but longer than the 
pedicel. Ciliation of fore wing not disappearing proxiinad. Funicle 2 five times longer than 
wide. Joint 1 of hind tarsus somewhat longer tlian funicle 2, somewhat less than half the 
length of the hind tarsus. Compared with types of pax, draperi, ^angieilli, romanesi and 
nordaui. 
Male: — Xot known. 
Described from one female captured in jungle, April 13, 1914. 
Uahilat : Gordonvale (Cairns), Queensland. 
Type: No. UySi71, Queensland iluseum, Brisbane, the specimen on a slide. 
Dedicated to Dante Alighere. 
9. POLYNEMA THOREAUINI new species. 
Female: — Length, 1.50 mm., excluding ovipositor which is extruded for somewhat more 
than a fourth the length of the abdomen. 
In my table runs to attsiralicasc and pax but may be separated at ouce because of the 
distinctly extruded ovipositor. The wings are more densely ciliated than in austraUense and 
the funicle joints are longer. Closest to pax Avhicli has the ovipositor a little extruded but the 
antennaj are all black and also the legs (the tarsi and petiole of abdomen yellow) ; also the 
fore wings are sliglitly different and the distal ciliation is continued to the venation only by 
a single (sometiuics paired) line of cilia. 
Prouotum large, witlv a narrow median carina ; parapsidal tnrrows distinct. Seiitellum 
with a curved crossdine of piu-puncturcs, the thorax with rather coarse longitudinal reticulation. 
Segment 3 of abdomen large, occupying nearly a third of the surface, 2 a third shorter than it, 
4 transverse. Propodeum and abdomen practically without sculpture, the former without 
carinm. Compared with slide type of ausixaUeu.se and pax. 
From one female captured by sweeping forest ujdands, May 28, 1914 (A. P. Dodd). 
Jiahitat: Maclean, Clarence River, New South Wales. 
Type: No. Hy;$47S, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the female on a slide with type 
of Go7iatocerus liumholdti (Girault). 
Dedicated to Henry David Thoreau. 
10. POLYNEMA HEGELI new species. 
Male: — Length, 1.80 mm. 
Shining; pronotum longer than the scutum, its lateral margin carinated, with a distinct 
neck. Parapsidal furrows complete. Scutellum plane, flat, the axilla) very small, the
