 Female: — Length. .5 mm. 



Black, the following parts blood red: Pedicel, funicle 1. base of funicle 2. teguUc, legs 

 and all of abdomen except extreme tip of ovipositor valves ;ind a dorsal, round black spot

 separate. Fore wings with a sooty crescent, one horn from whole of marginal vein, the other 

 horn attaining cephalic margin beyond the ]iostmarginal vein which is slightly longer than the 

 marginal. Fore wing with a faint continuation of fuscous across from marginal vein. Pedicel 

 subeqnal to funicle 2 which is distinctly longer than 1 but hardly longer than 3; club with an 

 ajiparent division at proximal fourth (c-mnpare leiuhnroaiis in reg.-ird to this). Teeth on hind 

 feninv along about distal two thirds.

15. STOMATOCERAS PERAUSTRALIS n.w .species. 

 Female: — Length. .5 mm. 



Black, the following parts blood red: Tegula (suffused), hind c<]xa cxcejiting for a spot 

 above, all femora except dorsal aspect of first and last (the latter centrally black), the knees, 

 til'i;i^ and tarsi; also distal half of second segment of abdomen above, mesal venter and lip of 

 abdomen. Fore wing with a faint stripe across from the marginal vein (heavily accented under 

 the vein) ami :i stain f;irtlier distad ojiposite the end of tlie postmarginal vein which is slightly 

 longer tluin the marginal, the stignial very sliort. a fourth or less the length of the marginal. 

 Teeth at ajje.x of scutellum separated. I'ri}podeum usual, Ilind wings clear, a little wider than 

 long, less than half the length of the |iediccl which is sube(|ual to the second funicle joint. 



Male: — Xot known. 



Described from one female, niinntien nicnintiMl. ialielled " 3li. Dandeuong. Bred from 

 Liiii. liDifieraiis." The lateral aspect of segment 2 of the ;ilidonien is blood reil.

16. STOMATOCERAS COPIOSUS n. w species. 



Femah : — Lengtii. ti.lo mm. 



At once ditfering from leiiehricosus in that the fore wings do not bear two distinct black 

 stripes across them; similar to victoria but again ditfering in the fumation of the fore wing, the 

 spots in victoria are clearly delimited, not so with this species; in victoria the abbreviated stripe 

 frcmi the marginal vein (not the stigmal as originally described) extends half way across and 

 is longer than wide but in this species it is only a quarter of the way across and sidujuadr-'t'j; 

 the distal spot here is more diffuse and less distinct, the distal part of the wing not clear. 

 Pedicel and funicle 1 blood red (in addition to other parts as in rieloria) but the tegula: 

 blackish. Postmarginal vein a little longer than the marginal and somewhat longer than in 

 victoria. Diii'ers from fasciatiiientiis Bingham in having the shorter stripe from the marginal 

 vein, the red pedicel and first funicle .joint, the second funicle joint longer than the pedicel, 

 subeqnal in that species. 



Described from one female, miuutien mounted, labelled "Windsor. 23.2.93." ''21).''
