AUSTRALIAN HYMENOPTERA CHALCIDOIDEA, XIV.—GIRAULT. 335 
11. STOMATOCERAS GRACILICORPUS new species. 
Female :—Length, 3.68 mm. 
Wholly black except venter of abdomen slightly at base of meson and first two antennal 
joints which are dark red; tarsi dark reddish. Fore wings with a sooty stripe across from the 
whole of the marginal vein fading caudad and a subisolated rounded stain midway between this 
stripe and apex, somewhat cephalad of middle. Postmarginal vein not quite as long as the 
marginal. Funicle 1 also reddish, slightly longer than wide, somewhat less than half the length 
of the pedicel; funicle 2 longest, distinctly not twice longer than wide, not quite as long as the 
pedicel, reddish at basal half. Articulations of the legs reddish. Antenne may be nearly wholly 
black. Teeth of hind femur extending along distal half. Scutellum distinctly bidentate at 
apex, the two teeth not strong. 
Described from two females captured from the foliage of an imported citron near the 
Mulgrave River, November 7, 1911. 
Habitat: Nelson (Cairns), Queensland. 
Types: No. Hy 3395, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the above specimens together 
on a tag. 
12. STOMATOCERAS VARIUS new species. 
Female :—Length, 5 mm. 
Very much like nigriscapus Girault but differing in that all of hind tibie and the ends 
of the other tibie are dark red; also all of the dorsal aspect of the second abdominal segment 
is black and the proximal half of the venter is red; also the blackish dash from the marginal 
vein is less regular, not extending half way across by far and from this there is a faint 
crescentic loop the distal end of which reaches the cephalic margin, nearly half way to the apex; 
also, the postmarginal vein is nearly as long as the marginal, over thrice the length of the 
stigmal. Teeth on propodeum as in tenebricosus. First funicle joint a little longer than half 
the length of the pedicel, the second funicle joint longest, longer than the pedicel. Also allied 
with novifuscipennis Girault but the wing fuscation and venation are totally different and the 
other details differ. Compared with types of allied species. 
Described from one female caught by Mr. F. P. Dodd in October, 1913, on flowers. 
Habitat: Kuranda (Cairns), Queensland. 
Type: No. Hy 3396, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the specimen on a tag, the antenna 
on a slide. 
13. STOMATOCERAS TENEBRICOSUS new species of Girault and A. P. Dodd. 
Female :—Length, 3.75 mm. 
Black, slightly pubescent, the scutellum ending in two distinctly separated teeth. The 
following parts blood-red: Tegule, legs, pedicel and first funicle joint. Fore wings with a 
rather broad, black stripe across from whole of marginal vein and a second somewhat lighter 
stripe distad, leaving a white stripe between them which is about half or less the length of the 
first black stripe. Stigmal vein not a fourth the length of the marginal. Propodeum with a 
pair of median carinew and two teeth dorso-laterad in a line, latero-mesad; also with a tuft of 
short white hairs on each side dorso-laterad; the acute median carine are separated by a deep 
suleus. First funicle joint longer than wide, about half the length of the pedicel which is long; 
distal funicle joint a little longer than wide. Funicle joints 2 and 3 longest of the funicle, each 
somewhat shorter than the pedicel. Scape long and slender. Umbilicately punctate. Teeth on 
hind femora along a little over distal half. 
Deseribed from two females caught by Mr. F. P. Dodd in October, 1913, on flowers. 
Habitat: Kuranda, Queensland. 
Type: No. Hy 3397, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, one of the above specimens on a tag, 
the antenne on a slide. | 
One female, Gordonvale, forest, April 27, 1914.
