MEMOIRS OF THE QUEENSLAND MUSEUM. 
The form and sculpture of this species is so clear-cut as to appear to have been chiselled 
out hj a sculptor. The head is large. 
Described from one female caught in jungle July 31, 1913 by sweeping (A. P. Dodd). 
Habitat: Gordonvale (Cairns), Queensland. 
Type: No. HyB815. Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the specimen on a tag; head and 
hind leg on a slide. 
A second female same place, August 20, 1914 (A.A.G.). 
2. PARAPOLYCYSTUS CLAVICORNIS new species of A. P. Dodd. 
Female: — ^Length, 3 mm. 
Similar to the genotype, pulchricornis, but the abdomen is bright burnished coppery, all 
the legs (except the coxse) are blood red, antenneo rather darker, the third ring-joint is much 
larger, distinctly longer than wide and the raised reticulation of the thorax is coarser, segments 
2-4 of abdomen excised at meson of caudal margin (only second and third in pulclirico'niis) . 
Described from one female labelled Stradbroke Island, H. Hacker, November 5, 
Habitat: Stradbroke Island, Southern Queensland. 
Type: No. Hy^SlB, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the specimen on a tag, the head 
and hind legs on a slide. 
In this genus the antennee are clavate, the club much enlarged, the third ring- joint 
enlarged and forming a transition between the ring and funicle joints, more especially so in 
clavicornis. The petiole is vertical and from a distinct knob-like neck of the propodeum. Head 
convex, round from cephalic aspect. 
POLYCYSTELOMORPHA new genus. 
Female: — Running to Polycystoides Girault but both mandibles 4-dentate, the petiole of 
abdomen slender, distinctly much longer than the hind coxae (nearly twice longer), the 
parapsidal furrows distinct and complete, narrow, the scuteUum simple, the form shorter, the 
body of the abdomen no longer than the thorax, convexed as in Polycystella, the second segment 
occupying somewhat over half of the surface, Propodeum tricarinate, long, the lateral carinaj 
curved, the spiracle minute, round, without a definite sulcus. Mandibles deeply cleft. Post- 
marginal vein shorter than the marginal, the well-developed stigmal vein a third shorter, curved; 
the postmarginal not especially long for that vein and really somewhat (a third) shorter than 
the marginal w’hich is of moderate length but not long. Club solid; two ring-joints. Pronotum 
transverse. 
1. POLYCYSTEIiOMORPHA FLAVIFEMUR new species. Genotype. 
Female: — Length, 1.15 mm. 
Dark ^neous, the wings hyaline, the coxae concolorous, the rest of the legs and aU of 
each antenna pale yellow, the club dusky. Head and thorax densely scaly, also the petiole, 
rest of abdomen highly polished. Venation pale. Antenna3 inserted on a level with the ventral 
ends of the eyes (or thereabouts), rather distant from the elypeus; joints 2 and 3 of funicle 
longest, a little longer than Avide, 1 barely longer than wide, 5 subquadrate, fi wider than long; 
pedicel a little longer than funicle 2; club wider, without a terminal spine. A fovea at 
cephalic margin of propodeum near base of lateral earina. 
Described from one female captured in forest, August 10, 1913 by sweeping (A. P. 
Dodd). 
Habitat: Gordonvale (Cairns), Queensland. 
Type: No. Hy^817, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the specimen on a tag, the head and 
hind tibiae on a slide.
