342 MEMOIRS OF THE QUEENSLAND MUSEUM. 
2. STOMATOCEROIDES NIGRICORNIS Girault. Female. 
Length, 4.1mm. Slender. 
Opaque black, the base of the abdomen shining, marked with dark red (garnet) as 
follows: The tegulex, tarsi, knees, tips of tibiz and a spot at base of posterior femur (ventrad 
and exteriorly). Fore wings with two obscure brownish cross-bands, one at the marginal vein 
and the other nearly half way from there to apex; the first accented under the marginal vein, 
the second more noticeable a short distance out from the costal margin. Venation black. 
Rugoso-punctate, the abdomen distad with fine polygonal reticulation. 
Habitat: Brisbane, Queensland. 
Type: No. Hy 1188, Queensland Museum, Brisbane. Minutien-mount and a slide. 
38. STOMATOCEROIDES VERSICOLOR Girault. Female. 
Length, 4 mm. More robust than the preceding. 
Opaque black, the proximal half of the abdomen and the caudal coxa and femur con- 
trasting, bright orange yellow with some reddish mixed in; legs otherwise black, the knees 
brownish; antenne black; tegule black. Wings opaque, the venation dark, the marginal vein 
with a very distinct, subelongate dark brown spot under it which does not tend to cross the 
wing but is wider (proximo-distad) than long (cephalo-caudad). Stigmal vein curved slightly 
cephalad, the body more robust than in the type species, the antennae much the same but the 
posterior femora beneath with the fine, black, comblike teeth only along the distal third. 
Habitat: Brisbane, Queensland. 
Type: No. Hy 1189, Queensland Museum, Brisbane. Minutien and a slide. 
4. STOMATOCEROIDES NIGRIPES Girault. Female. 
Length, 5 mm. 
Opaque black, the tarsi fuscous, the wings hyaline, the venation dark with only a trace 
of staining under it. Like versicolor but the teeth of the posterior femur along as much as the 
distal two thirds of the ventral margin. Antenne as in the other species but the funicle joints 
are longer. 
Habitat: Townsville, Queensland. From pupa of ‘‘ red ant moth,’’ 7-11-03. 
Type: No. Hy 1190, Queensland Museum, Brisbane. Card and a slide. 
5. STOMATOCEROIDES NIGRICORPUS Girault. Female. 
Length, 5.20 mm. 
Black, the wings hyaline and opaque with the exception of a small, subtriangular fuscous 
spot under the marginal vein. Differs from nigripes in being more slender and shorter, in having 
the spot on fore wing and in the caudal femur; the teeth on the latter in nigripes running 
farther proximad while in this species they run only to middle; also a marked convexity distad 
beneath, only indicated in nigripes. Antenne in both species much alike. Differing from other 
species in coloration. Propodeum with two median carinw, which are some distance from each 
other. 
Habitat: Gordonvale (Cairns), Queensland. Forest, December 5, 1912. 
Type: No. Hy 3409, Queensland Museum, Brisbane. Two tags and a slide. 
6. STOMATOCEROIDES RUBRIPES Girault. Female. 
Length, 3.75 mm. 
Nearest in color pattern to bicolor but legs red excepting coxe (posterior coxe reddish 
distad) and the cephalic femur (the intermediate femur slightly blackened in middle) ; tegule 
also red. Moreover, the distal funicle joint is longer in this species as is also the marginal vein; 
stain under fhe latter small, not conspicuous and no second stain distad. Ventral margin of 
posterior femur nearly straight, not distinctly wavy as in bicolor. Black. Posterior coxa may 
be nearly black, or nearly all red; other legs may be wholly red except coxe. 
Habitat: Hambledon Junction and Cairns, Queensland. Forest. June. 
Type: No. Hy 3410, Queensland Museum, Brisbane. Tag and slide.
