PROCERATONEURA new genus. 
Type: Ooteirasticlms Jiistris Girault. 
Petiole wider than long yet rather distinct. Club joints subeqiial. Propodeum without 
a median carina except a weakly indicated one; other carinee absent. The pedicel is short,, 
distinctly shorter than funicle 3 in spite of the statement in my table of species of Ootctrastichus 
w'here the contrary is stated. The original description of the species is correct. Type 
re-examined. 
A second female has been examined captured by sweeping in forest, August .5, 1913 
(A.A.G.), Gordonvale and a third same place, April 12, 1914. The first funicle joint is stouter 
and a liftle longer than the other two, distinctly not twice longer than wide. The third tooth 
of the mandible is truncate. Like Ootetrnstichus otherwise but the three distal ring-joints are 
transverse-linear, the first large and the club is short and equally divided, subequal to funicle 1.
