2. CERATONEURONELLA ALIGHERINI new species. 
Female: — Length, 2 mm. 
Similar to rufohasalis excei)t that the thorax is uniform in color and the abdomen 
■wholly black except the white extreme tip and petiole. The black stripe down mesal side of 
caudal femur is longer than in nigriventris extending from the knee distinctly more than half 
way to base (not more than half way in the genotype). The light lufuscation of the fore 
•wing has straight margins (bulged proximad and distad in the genotype and much more 
distinct). The discal ciliation of tlie fore wing in all species is not dense but moderately 
scattered, the cilia numerous. Abdomen distad of segment 3 densely reticulated (much the 
same in rufobaealis), proximad glabrous. Propodeum very densely scaly; lateral carina 
present (also in mfohasalis) and the lateral margin earinated (or a carina at the lateral 
margin) . 
From one female captured by sweeping jungle along the Mulgrave River, April 12, 1914. 
Habitat: Gordonvalo (Cairns), Queensland. 
Type: No. HyS646, Queensland Miiseiim, Brisbane, the female on a tag; head, fore 
'v\ing and hind legs on a slide. 
Dedicated to Dante Alighere. 
PARACEEATONFURA new genus. 
Like Ceratoneuronella but the antennae bear four ring-joints. The abdominal petiole is- 
as long as the hind coxse. 
1. PARACERATONEURA GOETHEI new species. Genotype. 
Female: — Length, 1.85 mm. 
Similar to Ceraioncuronclla nigriventris Girault but the wings are hyaline, the thorax, 
uiiiforni in color, the hind femur without an elongate black spot nor the coxa. Chib and distal 
two funicle joints black, tlie rest of antennai dusky except the red scape. First two teeth of 
mandibles strong, acute, the third much shorter, broadly truncate. Funicle 3 distinctly shorter 
than 1, only somewhat longer than w’ide, 1 twice longer than wide; pedicel suhequal to funicle 
3. Second ring-joint shortest. Abdomen scaly after segment 3. Propodeum with a long 
median carina. Club ‘vvitliout a terminal spine. 
From one female caught by sweeping forest, May 27, 1914. 
Habitat: Gordonvale (Cairns), Queensland. 
Type: No. JJy2647, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the specimen on a tag; head and 
hind leg on a slide. 
Genus CERATONEURONOMVI A Girault. 
The genus bears foxir ring-joints. Tyx^es re-cxainined. 
1. CERATONEURONOMYIA ARNOLDI Girault. 
The type locality is Goondi (Iimisfail), Queensland. 
2. CERATONEURONOMYIA RUSKINI new species. 
Female: — Length, 1.25 mm. 
Like the original description of the genotype but tJie first ring-joint is large, the other 
three transverse-linear. Abdomen glabrous, finely scaly distad. Dark metallic green, the 
scutum and scntellum rosaceous coppery, the wings hyaline, the legs yellowish browm, the 
tibias and tarsi wliitish. Scape and distal two club joints whitish. Antennae as in 
Ceraioneuronomyia longiscapns Girault (actual comparison) but the pedicel is paler. Hind 
lateral angle of propodeum acute. Like longiscapns but differing as follows: The coxa} are 
wholly yellowish brown, the rosaceous tints are present, the hind lateral angle of propodeum
