sutures ill-defined; scutellum armed behind with a short straight spine; metathorax with a short 
spine on each side; abdomen subsessile, very convex, the first segment covering almost half its 
length on the back; stylus unusually short and broad, hardly one fourth of the length of the 
abdomen; hind femora moderately swollen, unarmed but with a large rounded convexity at the 
base, beyond which they are slightly grooved for the reception of the tibie; wings variegated.’’

““« Hockeria nyssa Walker, Ent. Mag., V, p. 474 (1837). 
Hockeria prozenus Walker, 1839, p. 8. 
Habitat: Sydney; Tasmania. 
Walker has placed the type of his H. nyssa and proxenus together as sexes, which appears 
likely to be correct, although they are from slightly different localities.’’ (W. F. Kirby.)

1. STOMATOCERAS VICTORIA Girault. 
Length, 4.25 mm. 
Black, somewhat shining; tegula, legs and basal half of abdomen ventrad (also latero- 
proximad), red, on the abdomen the reddish mixed with yellowish; scape (rest of antenna 
missing) black; fore wing with a smoky fascia across it at the marginal vein (accented at the 
vein so that only a half fascia is distinct) and a rounded smoky spot farther distad nearer the 
costal wing margin and about half way to the wing apex from the stigmal vein; otherwise 
both wings hyaline. 
Body rather finely rugoso-punctate, the spaces between the punctures half smooth; 
lateral ocelli their own diameter from the eye margins or slightly more; scutellum terminating 
in two tooth-like plates, one on each side of the meson; abdomen finely reticulated; propodeum 
in the middle of the dorso-lateral aspect with one distinct platelike projection, another broader 
one indicated cephalad of it. Propodeum punctured like the rest of the thorax. Scape very 
long, bent at extreme tip, reaching to the cephalic ocellus which is at the apex of the channel- 
like scrobicular cavity. Body finely pubescent. Posterior femur without a large tooth 
ventrad, its ventral margin straight but pubescent and along the distal two thirds armed with 
a uniform series of minute, black, comblike teeth. Stylus of abdomen short. Postmarginal 
vein long. Apex of scape red. Corrected description.
