with it. However, the second abdominal segment is plainly 

 shorter than the remainder of the abdomen. 



Later, among a small collection of Chalcidoidea given to me 

 by Mr. F. P. Dodd, I found a species of Stomatoceras which 

 agrees with the description of S. fasciatipemiis Bingham. 

 Also, it was mounted on a card containing a flat lepidopterous 

 cocoon, in general outline shaped like a spool, from which pro- 

 jected an empty pupal case and also a number of small ants. This 

 card was labelled "TownsviUe, Qld., 20, 5, 02. F. P. Dodd." 

 Thus, this specimen (a female) is from the type locality of the 

 Binghamian species, agrees with the description and appears to 

 be a part of the same material, since its insect associates agree 

 with those denoted by Bingham. Comparing this specimen 

 (which I have identified as fasciatipennis and deposited in the 

 Queensland Museum at Brisbane) with victoria, the difference 

 between them becomes more apparent, since in the former the 

 marginal vein is plainly longer and both the subfascia distinctly 

 larger, especially the distal one, which extends distad half way 

 to the apex. Also, the second abdominal segment is somewhat 

 longer in fasciatipennis, the third and following segments short, 

 but (segments 3-5) nearly twice the length of the corresponding 

 segments in victoria. Otherwise, the two are much alike. A 

 balsam slide bearing an antenna and a posterior leg goes with the 

 cardmount. 



2. Stomatoceras hacker i new species. 



Female: Length, 4.50 mm. 



The same as the preceding species {victoria), but the scape 

 is also dark red, including also the long pedicel and the first two 

 funicle joints (and a part of the third); the abdomen is reddish, 

 only along the median line of the venter; the fore wings have the 

 same general pattern (as regards fuscation), but they are more 

 irregularly fumated, the two fumated areas less distinctly separ- 

 ated, especially caudad. The posterior femora beneath are toothed 

 less farther proximad and the apical emargination (a convexity) 

 is more pronounced (this crenulation of the margin should not be 

 confused with the first tooth in the family which is usually large) ; 

 also from between the fine black teeth arise series of solitary, 

 erect, stiff, but short bristles. The postmarginal vein is long.
