Some Chalcidoid Hymenoptera from North Queensland. 87 



coxae and much of cephalic femur and all of hind femur but each 

 end, reddish brown. Fore wings rather deeplv, uniformly smoky 

 from about the middle of the submarginal vein. Of the seven teeth 

 on the hind femur, the seventh is a mere tubercle-tooth, the first 

 largest, 3 and 4 about equal. Pedicel very short, joints 2 and 3 of 

 funicle subequal, longest, 1 not much shorter and subequal to the 

 distal joint of the funicle which is about equal to the first club 

 joint. 



Male: Not known. 



Described from two females captured by Mr. Alan P. Dodd 

 by sweeping in the jungle, May 19, 1913. 



Habit at: Australia — Kuranda, Queensland. 



Type: In the Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the above 

 specimens on tags (2 pins) and a slide with a posterior leg and an 

 antenna. 



HaltichelKni. 



Genus Stomatoceras Kirby. 



1. Stomatoceras tineophagus new species. 

 Female: Length, 6 mm. 



Closest to australiensis Girault but wholly black, only the 

 tarsi somewhat suffused with reddish; also the fore wing is crossed 

 by a distinct black stripe (fading somewhat caudad) from the 

 marginal vein (accented under that vein), and the first funicle 

 joint is subequal to the pecidel and nearly as long as the second 

 funicle joint ; a large, convex, flaplike projection precedes the comb- 

 like teeth on the hind femur which extend three fourths the way 

 to apex. Metathorax with a strong tooth in the middle of the 

 dorso-lateral aspect, the scutellum ending in two distinct (separated) 

 platelike teeth, smaller than the metathoracic tooth. Cephalic 

 ocellus within the facial excavation. Punctures not confluent. 

 Postmarginal vein subequal to the marginal. 



Male: Not known. 



Described from one specimen kindly given to me by Mr. F. 

 P. Dodd of Kuranda and labelled "From pupa of red ant moth. 

 9. 11. 03". The host is a tineid. 



Habitat: Australia — Townsville, Queensland. 



Type: In the Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the above 

 specimen on a card, hind femur and an antenna on a slide. 



2. Stomatoceras novifuscipennis new species. 

 Female: Length, 5 mm. 



Close to fuscipennis Girault but the antennae are wholly black, 

 the first funicle joint is plainly longer than wide yet only half 

 the length of the pedicel, the fore wings are uniformly embrowned 

 to tip from about middle of the submarginal vein, but the rounded 

 clear area is under the postmarginal vein which is longer than the 

 marginal, the stigmal vein very short, only about half the length
