AUSTRALIAN HYMENOPTERA CHALCIDOIDEA, XIV.—GIRAULT. 333: 
4. STOMATOCERAS FUSCIPENNIS Girault. Female. 
Length, 3.50 mm. 
The same nearly as hackeri but differing from it as follows: The antenne are red only 
up to and including the second funicle joint, the next joint only slightly suffused with it; 
the first funicle joint is much shorter and subquadrate, not half the length of the pedicel 
(longer than wide and over half the pedicel’s length in hackeri). The fumation of the fore 
wing is nearly of the same pattern but much deeper, nearly black, the second stripe more 
compact and better delimited so that the clear area under the postmarginal vein stands 
out as a white spot. The abdomen is wholly black, the teeth at apex of scutellum more 
obtuse, the emargination less acute; the ventral margin of the posterior femur is less 
emarginate. The species hackert, moreover, is much more robust. Also, the proximal half 
of caudal coxa is black in this species. 
Habitat: Hambledon Junction (Cairns), Queensland. Forest, June 7, 1912 
Type: No. Hy 3391, Queensland Museum, Brisbane. Tag and slide. 
5. STOMATOCERAS HACKERI Girault. Female. 
Length, 4.50 mm. 
The same as victoria but the scape is also dark red, including also the long pedicel and 
the first two funicle joints (and a part of the third); the abdomen is reddish only along the 
median line of the venter; the fore wings bear the same general pattern (as regards fuscation) 
but they are more irregularly fumated, the two fumated areas less distinctly separated, 
especially caudad. The posterior femora beneath are toothed less farther proximad and the 
apical emargination (a convexity) is more pronounced (this crenulation of the margin should 
not be confused with the first tooth which is usually rather large in the family); also from 
between the fine black teeth, arise a series of solitary, erect, stiff but short bristles. Post- 
marginal vein long. 
Habitat: Brisbane, Queensland. August 8, 1911 (H. Hacker). 
Type: No. Hy 1187, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, minutien-mount and a slide. 
6. STOMATOCERAS LEAI Girault. Female. 
Length, 5 mm. 
Wholly black; fore wings with a conspicuous deep black band across them from the 
marginal vein, distad of this band obscurely clouded; postmarginal vein slightly longer than 
the marginal. Plate on end of scutellum separated into two distinct, obtuse, platelike teeth. 
Comblike teeth along posterior femur extending along distal three fourths. Pedicel long 
somewhat longer than the funicle 1 which is rather long, 2 longest, about a third longer 
than 1, which is twice longer than wide. Two platelike teeth on dorso-lateral aspect of pro- 
podeum. 
Habitat: Cairns, Queensland. 
Type: No. I. 1240, South Australian Museum, Adelaide. 
7. STOMATOCERAS AUSTRALIENSIS Girault. Female. 
Length, 4.20 mm. 
Black, the tarsi more or less suffused with reddish, the abdomen beneath ferrugineous 
except distad; tegule black. Marginal vein with a dark splotch under it, from the caudal 
end of which loops an obscure crescent of fuscous around to the costal margin (beyond the 
postmarginal vein which is longer than the marginal) ; wings otherwise hyaline. Teeth of caudal 
femur extending along distal two thirds; first funicle joint over half the length of the pedicel, 
the second funicle joint subequal to the pedicel and the club joint, longest of the funicle.
