(1852), Java. 
As I have not seen the type of this species, I have some 
doubt that it may be distinct from annulicornis, as the 
description is not in all points agreeing with it. The type 
is surely a large specimen, the forewing having a length 
of 16 mm, It comes from Java. 
From Celebes, Limbotto (von Rosenberg), I saw one 
specimen, that is a rather larger one, but | find no constant 
differences with javanese specimens of annulicornis. The pale 
joints of the antennae are rather dark and very inconspicuous. 
Mantispa annulicornis stenoptera Gerstaecker. 
Mantispa stenoptera Gerstaecker, Mitt. naturw. Ver. Neu-Vorpomm. und Rügen, 
XX, p. 115 (1888). New Guinea. 
This only is the form from New Guinea, which has been 
described after an immature, reddish coloured specimen. 
The type is so similar with javanese specimens, that, with- 
out more material, 1 am unable to separate it. 1 presume 
that some indian and australian species are also synonyms 
or subspecies of this form, but I want more materials to 
work out this question more thoroughly. 
Body 144 mm., forew. 12 mm., hindw. 10 mm. 
Abd. 7 mm., gr. br. 3 mm., gr. br. 3 mm, 
Habitat: West New Guinea. 
The type has been collected by Ribbe. I saw no other 
specimens,

Of similar size and form as annulicornis, but readily 
distinct by the pterostigma, which is dilated at the tip.
