332 MEMOIRS OF THE QUEENSLAND MUSEUM. 
well-marked carina; scape of antenne long about one third of the whole length of the latter, 
smooth but minutely pilose, flagellum simple, granulose, 10-jointed. Thorax: robust, prono- 
tum margined anteriorly; scutellum large oval convex overhanging the median segment, 
bidentate at apex, posteriorly with a very narrow submarginal furrow or channel; median 
segment short, truncate, bearing on its posterior vertical face a median looped carina and 
two lateral oblique carine; wings hyaline with sub-basal and post-median broad transverse 
fuscous fascie#; legs minutely pilose, posterior femora edged posteriorly with numerous 
extremely minute teeth. Abdomen subsessile smooth and shining, the basal abdominal 
segment as long as the rest united. Head, thorax and dorsal surface of abdomen black; 
apex of scape and of antenne, tegule of wings, the legs, and sides and ventral surface of 
abdomen blood-red. Length, Q 5 mm. Exp. 8 mm.’’ 
Habitat: Townsville, Queensland. 
Type: Hope Department, Oxford, England. 
Resembles very closely S. victoria but the marginal vein longer, plainly longer and 
both the subfascia distinctly longer, especially the distal one which extends distad half way 
to the apex. Also, the second abdominal segment is somewhat longer in fasciatipennis, the 
third and following segments short but (segments 3-5) nearly twice the length of the corre- 
sponding segments in victoria. Otherwise, the two much alike. 
Among a small collection of Chalcidoidea given to me by Mr. F. P. Dodd, I found a 
species of Stomatoceras which agrees with the description of S. fasciatipennis Bingham, 
Also it was mounted on a card containing a flat lepidopterous cocoon, in general outline 
shaped like a spool, from which projected an empty pupal case and also a number of small 
ants. This card was labelled ‘‘ Townsville, Queensland, 20-5-02. F. P. Dodd.’? Thus, this 
specimen (a female) is from the type locality of the Binghamian species, agrees with the 
description and appears to be a part of the same material, since its insect associates agree 
with those denoted by F. P. Dodd. Comparing this specimen (which I have identified as 
fasciatipennis and deposited in the Queensland Museum at Brisbane) with victoria, the 
difference between them becomes more apparent and is as pointed out above. 
In the origiaal description this species is numbered 7 and reference to a connected 
paper by F. P. Dodd (Trans. Ent. Society of London, May 29, 1906, p. 123) shows that the 
specimen is ‘‘ from the pupe of the case moth Ardiosteres moretonella Walk., the larvee of 
which live in the nests of small black tree ants.’’ The associated ants are stated to. be 
Cremastogaster leviceps Smith. 
A balsam slide bearing an antenna and a posterior leg goes with the card mount. 
3. STOMATOCERAS NIGRISCAPUS Girault. Female. 
Length, 4.50 mm. 
Black, the posterior coxa and femur red as is also the second abdominal segment. 
Fore wings with a subrectangular fuscous dash half way across it from the marginal vein 
and an obscure fuscous area in the cephalic half of the wing half way to the apex from the 
stigmal vein. Marginal vein short, the stigmal very short, only about a fourth the length of 
the marginal; postmarginal vein somewhat longer than the marginal, twice the length of the 
stigmal; venation black. Posterior femora with the fine black teeth along distal half or 
slightly more. Last joint of antennal funicle somewhat longer than wide, more than half 
the length of the club, the first funicle joint about half the length of the pedicel, the second 
somewhat the longest, subequal to the pedicel. Otherwise as in other species. Corrected 
description. 
Habitat: Gordonvale (Cairns), Queensland. Forest, December 4, 1912 (A. P. Dodd). 
Type: No. Hy 3390, Queensland Museum, Brisbane. Tag and slide. 
One female, Bribie Island, November 3, 1913 (II. Hacker). The tip of caudal femur 
was dark red and venter of segment 3 of abdomen.
