24. STOMATOCERAS RATZEBURGEI thw .species. 



Female: — Length, 3.85 mm. 



In the table of species runs to lni::Utli but the abdomen is black and the liiud co.xa; 

 except at distal third; the cluli is only slightly reddisli at extreme tip; funicle 2 is all black. 

 The large black area from dorsal edge of the caudal femur (laterad) is hirger, extending 

 nearly (three quarters) across to ventral edge (only about half way in lia:ilitti). Dorsad the 

 abdomen shows no large shallow- punctures until segment 7 and fine sculpture until segment 

 5. The fore wing differs in that the distal infuscated spot is not joined to that under the 

 marginal vein so that no crescentic loop is formed and the infuscation under the marginal 

 vein forms a complete, uniform, distinct cross-stripe, tlie accentuation under the marginal 

 vein not pronounced; also flie distal infuscation forms a second cross-stripe which, however, 

 is incomplete eaudad and narrowly so cephalad. The meso]deurum is transversely (longi- 

 tudinally) striate in both species. Funicle 1 a little longer tlian wide. 



Fi-om one female caught in October (F. P. Dodd).

Fe.male.s. 



Species seen by me bear a deep median channel on ]iropi>denin with carinated margins 

 and a distinct lateral ruga in the place usually occupied by true lateral earime, this ruga 

 forking distad forming a more or less distinct Y. .-Mso the distal segment of abdomen has a 

 diirsal median carina except in aureus. 



(Types of my species re-examined.) 

 Black species. 



1. Legs blood red (excluding cox;e and tarsi). 

 Scape blood red. 



First two funicle joints blood red and a j.art td' :.! ; coxa: red: abdomen red along 

 median line of venter and side of base; funicle 1 plaiidy longer than wide; propo- 

 deuni and abdomen as in fu.-icireiinis. Punctures im ceiduilic mesal part of scutum 

 snuiller but quite as dense as those on pnuiotuin. Si'robes finely transversely lined . .

 both ends; diirsal abdomen ghdirous to segment 7. Hind co.\;c black at proximal
