 lu4. Euthysana inconspicua. 



Symmacra incougpicua Warr., Nov. ZociL vi. p. 338, J (IhO'J)- 



I (It'scribcil the species in 1809 from a single ?, placing it temporarily in 

 Symmacra. The insect lias not reappeared in the various consignments from New 

 Guinea until lately, when 4 3 <S and 1 ? have come from Biagi. 



It cannot be left in Symmacra, as the hindlegs of the S are aborted, as in 

 Ptyckopoda, and without spurs. The S 6 are slightly smaller thau the ? ? 

 (22 mm.), and all alike are tinged with reddish, which was not observable in the 

 type specimen. The darker lines are accompanied by a pale line, following the 

 outer and preceding the inner.

107. Perixera bisecta Warr. 



This species was described from 2 ? ? from the Angabunga River aud doubt- 

 fully referred to Perixera. I have now seen a pair from Biagi, the d of which is 

 a true Perixera, belonging to the section with tufted hindtibiae. The species 

 described at the same time, also from 2 ? ? , as P.'t indigent, must, I think, be 

 referred to bisecta as an aberration, without the cross-line at middle.
