Genus Polynemoidea Girault View in CoL ( Figs. 216–220)
Polynemoidea Girault, 1913 [165]: 116. Type species: Polynemoidea varicornis Girault , by original designation.
Selenaeus Waterhouse, 1915: 536 . Type species: Selenaeus turneri Waterhouse , by monotypy. Synonymy by Doutt (1973: 215).
Diagnosis. Polynemoidea is placed tentatively in the Australomymar group of genera. It differs from Austral-
omymar, the only other genus in the group, as follows: antennal scape with inner surface imbricate and clava
3-segmented or partially so (divisions between segments not complete) ( Fig. 217); fore wing venation extend-
ing less than 0.4x wing length ( Fig. 216); ovipositor without setae along sheath ( Fig. 218). Fore leg as in Fig.
219. Male unknown.
Body length. 1510 µm (from one specimen of P. varicornis ).
Distribution. Australia.
Hosts. Unknown.
Important references. Viggiani (1973), Doutt (1973), New (1974).
Note. P. domestica is incorrectly placed in this genus. Until its correct placement can be determined confidently it is left in Polynemoidea . The wing shape and setation (fig. 5 in Viggiani 1973) resembles that of genus C in Noyes and Valentine (1989, fig. 184), suggesting that P.domsestica may belong there.
