THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST 141 



smooth and shining. Antenna wholly black, the distal two funicle 

 segments subequal, each slightly less than half the length of the 

 proximal funicle joint. 



(From a single specimen, the same magnification.) 



Male: Not known. 



Described from a single cardmounted female specimen* ' 

 labelled " Dandenong Ranges, Victoria." 



Habitat: Australia — Victoria (Dandenong Mountains). 



Type: No. Hy 1186, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the above 

 specimen; also a slide bearing an antenna and a second one, an 

 antenna and a posterior leg. 



The following species were thought to represent a new genus, 

 but are all components of this one. Their generic characters are 

 given herewith. 



The same as Stomatoceras Kirby, the antenna; 11-jointed, 

 the pedicel very small; the scrobicular cavity extends nearly to 

 the occipital margin; thus the vertex acute or like a transverse 

 carina along the occipital margin; the lateral ocelli are not within 

 the scrobicular groove, but between its lateral margin, the eye 

 and the true occipital margin, meso-caudad of the eye; the ce- 

 phalic ocellus, however, just at the apex of the cavity. Post- 

 marginal vein longer than the moderately long marginal, the 

 stigmal \'ein \'ery short, sessile and oval, small; submarginal vein 

 more than four times the length of the marginal. Scutellum 

 terminating in a small, bidentate plate. Posterior femora be- 

 neath simple — that is, without one or two large teeth, with the 

 black, comblike teeth along distal two-thirds or more of the margin, 

 and hairy; ventral margin of the femur straight. Propodeum 

 with at least one dorso-lateral tooth. AntenucC long, cylindrical, 

 without a ring-joint. Abdomen ovate. 



The genus Stomatoceroides is more like Hippota Walker, but 

 the flagellar joints are much longer, the pedicel smaller, the pos- 

 terior femora armed and straight beneath, the vertex carinate, 

 the propodeal tooth not prominent, the stigmal vein sessile, the 

 wings clouded. 

 2. Stomatoceroides nigricornis new species. 



Male: Length, 4.1 mm. Slender.
