INSECUTOR INSCITI^ MENSTRUUS 149 



funicle 4, base rather broadly and apex narrowly of caudal 

 femur and rest of the legs except caudal coxae. Fore wings 

 smoky from base of marginal vein to apex, but with a sub- 

 quadrate hyaline area (distinct, large) from the cephalic mar- 

 gin just distad of the stigmal vein. Postmarginal vein slightly 

 longer than the marginal. Characterized by the bidentate 

 scutellum, the two teeth longer than usual and very distinct. 

 Funicle 2 somewhat longer than wide, subequal to the 

 pedicel, 1 somewhat shorter, longer than wide. A pair of 

 distinct but short ridges at base of abdomen at meson, segment 

 2 polished except distad in the dorsolateral aspect ; others 

 coarsely scaly (at first not mesad) and with the large setigerous 

 punctures. Hind femur punctuJate, the fine teeth below along 

 about distal three- fourths. 



One male, Toowoomba, Queensland (A. Koebele). 



Type.— Cat. No. 30767, U. S. Nat. Mus. ; the male on a tag, 

 a pair of wings and an antenna on a slide. 



Stomatoceras rousseaui, new species. 



Female. — Length, 4 mm. In ihe analysis of species runs to 

 nigriscapus, but differs from its description as follows : The 

 caudal legs are red except narrowly the ventrolateral edges of 

 the tibiae; the middle coxae, the middle femur (except above 

 at distal third more or less obscurely), and rest of middle legs 

 except the tibiae (except at each end) and the trochanters, are 

 red; and the front legs are red except the distal third of the 

 femur and the proximal two-thirds of the tibia; segments 1 

 and 2 of abdomen, sides and venter of 3, and venter of 4 and 

 5, red. Tegulas red. Fore wings infuscated similarly, but the 

 rectangular area from the marginal vein runs faintly across, 

 widening caudad, and is more or less obscurely connected with 

 the distal area to form a loop from the marginal vein around to 

 cephalic margin distad of the postmarginal vein; the latter 

 elongate, somewhat longer than the marginal, four times the 

 length of the stigmal. Abdomen similarly sculptured. Scu- 

 tellum distinctly bidendate. Funicle 1 is somewhat longer and 8 

 somewhat shorter than in nigriscapus. Teeth on hind femur 

 below along distal two-thirds.
