 ligbtcr; cloi-sum of abdomen dark brown. Tegnnina hyaline, veins and apex of

ward; anal segment large with large anal style; genital styles small, slightly curved 

 and gi-adually narrowed to a point. Lengfh, 5.5 mm.; tegmen, 3 mm.

 ment large, wider than deep, anal style large, nanowly oblong. Leng-th. (i mm.;

The material consists of one carded male in good condition witli tegmina b\it 

 no wings, as is generally the condition of brachypterous Homoptera; two females, 

 one on a pin in fairly good condition with teginina and no wing's, and one female 

 on card with no tegmina but witli wing-s present, l)ut in a bad condition. 'I'his in- 

 dicates that tliere are l)oth macropterous and bracliyplerous forms, at least in the 

 lemale .sex. Whether the macropterous forms liave a different shai)ed legmen I 

 am unable to say. There is also one nearly full grown nymph carded; the liead 

 is not so long projiortionately and the tegmina jiads are pointed at ai>ex. All the 

 material is in the Macleay Collection.
