One female labelled " 40. Bacchus Marsh. Billlngsworth, 9-7-06."' The locality is 

 near Melbourne. The specimen agrees in every detail with the original description. The 

 scutellum bears at apex two separate teeth and the caudal of the usual two caudo-lateral 

 teeth of the jiroiKuleum was longer than usual. 



8. STOMATOCERAS TINEOPHAGUS Oirault. 



Length, 6 mm. 



Closest to aiistralieiisi.1 Girault but wholly black, only the tarsi somewhat suffused with 

 reddish; also the fore wing is crossed by a distinct black stripe (fading somewhat caudad) from 

 the marginal vein (accented under the vein) and the first funiele joint is subequal to the pedicel 

 and nearly as long as the second funiele .ioint; a large convex, tlaplike projection precedes 

 the coniblike teeth on the hind femur which extend three fourths the way to apex. Meta- 

 thorax with a strong tooth in the middle of the dorso-lateral aspect, the scutellum ending in 

 two distinct (separated) platelike teetli, smaller than the metathoracic tooth. Cephalic 

 ocellus within the facial excavation. Punctures not confluent. Postmarginal vein subequal 

 to the marginal.

9. STOMATOCERAS NOVIFUSCIPENNIS Girardt. Female. 



Length, 5 mm. 



Close to ftiseipennia Clirault but the antenna; are viholly black, the first funiele joint is 

 plainly longer than wide yet only half the length of the pedicel, the fore wings are uniformly 

 embrowned to tip from about middle of the submarginal vein but the rounded clear area is 

 under the postmarginal vein which is longer than the marginal, the stigmal very short, only 

 about half the length of the marginal. Abdomen and coxje black, the rest of legs and the 

 tegula; dark red (but all femora for the most part black except at each end). Posterior wing 

 dusky for over the distal third. Seutolluni at apex emarginate at meson, the two teeth obtuse. 

 Metathorax without teeth. Thoracic clothing inconsjiicuous. Teeth on hind femur extending 

 about half way to base. Second funiele joint longest, subequal to the pedicel and the club 

 joint which is not quite a half longer than the last joint of the funiele.

10. STOMATOCERAS AUREUS Girault.

Differing from the other Aus-traliau sjieeies in bearing a golden pubescence over the bodv, 

 just back of the axilla;, a small clump being more conspicuous than the rest. Tegula; large, 

 honey yellow. Antennse, legs (including hind coxa?, excluding a verj- large ovate spot on hind 

 femur outwardly, appended from the ujiper margin and extending toward the lower margin 

 which it parallels) and abdomen except distal third dorsad and (distinctly) a black border 

 dorsad from b;ise on each side to apex of proximal third, blood red. Fore wings embrowned 

 from marginal vein to ajjcx, the infumation accented under the marginal vein and interrupted 

 by two clear areas, one just distad of marginal vein, tlie other caudo-distad of the first and 

 longer than it (close to yet distinctly separated from it). Teeth of scutellum well-develojied, 

 separate. Hind wings hyaline. Abdomen oval. With the habitus of Clialeis but the antenna- 

 inserted below ventral ends of eyes, though not much so. Teeth of hind femur not quite 

 reaching to middle. Pedicel longer than next two funiele joints united; funiele joints .'i-S
