articulations. Fore wings without a crescentic loop; pronotum with the carina as in

The sculpture of the various species is very similar. 
GENUS STOMATOCEROIDES Girault. 
Similar to Stomatoceras Kirby but the postmarginal vein well developed, longer than 
the short marginal, four times the length of the stigmal and slender. Antenne 11-jointed, 
inserted below the ventral ends of the eyes, the club solid, only slightly shorter than the long 
proximal funicle joint (a third shorter); scape simple, long; pedicel short; flagellum 
cylindrical, one ring-joint. Posterior femur without large teeth beneath but its ventral margin 
may be straight, crenulate or wavy, there usually being three sloping convexities, the distal two” 
bearing a continuous series of minute, black, comblike teeth (along the distal half of the 
margin). Seutellum terminating in a small, bidentate plate. Metathorax with no dorso- 
lateral projections. Vertex very thin, the cephalic ocellus within the scrobicular cavity, the 
lateral ocelli distant from the eye margins. Pronotum thin mesad, broadening laterad. 
Abdomen ovate, not produced distad, normal, the second segment largest. Propodeum with 
at least one small dorso-lateral tooth. The serobicular cavity extends nearly to the occipital 
margin, thus the vertex acute or like a transverse carina along the occipital margin, the 
lateral ocelli are not within the scrobieular groove but between its lateral margins, the eye 
and the two occipital margins, meso-caudad of the eye; the cephalic ocellus, however, just 
at the apex of the cavity. Propodeum as in Stomatoceras; also abdomen. 
1. STOMATOCEROIDES BICOLOR Girault. Female. Genotype. 
Length, 4.10 mm, 
Opaque black, the legs dark reddish excepting nearly the whole of the upper margin of 
the posterior femur, the coxw, the proximal halves of the tibizw and the same portions of the 
cephalic and intermediate femora, all of which are black. Venation brown, the fore wings with 
a distinct, rounded brownish spot under the marginal vein (against it) and with a larger stain 
distad, more or less obscure and cephalad. Head and thorax rugoso-punctate, the spaces between 
the punctures with fine grooves, the abdomen finely, densely polygonally reticulated but the 
second segment smooth and shining. Antenne wholly black, the distal two funicle joints 
subequal, each slightly less than half the length of the proximal funicle joint. 
Habitat: Dandenong Range, Victoria. 
Type: No. Hy 1186, Queensland Museum, Brisbane. Card and two slides.
