Allied to Eutettix Van Duzee, but the habitus is quite different, and the vertex 

 much shorter and more declivous, with the eyes scarcely so wide as the transversely 

 striolate pronotum. Frons very wide, almost obliterating the fasciolae ; lateral margins 

 sloping roundly to the clypeus, the sides of the latter very slightly roundly emarginate. 

 Antennae inserted a little nearer to the ocelli than to the base of the lora ; they have a 

 short flagellum. Clypeus about twice as long as its width, the lora do not nearly reach 

 its apical margin. The labium reaches to the apex of the middle coxae. Tegminal 

 venation not altogether unlike that of Eutettix, as represented by E. sellata and 

 melaleucae, but the two subapical cells extend equally far apically and are truncate 

 there, while the long median cell is apically angular. There is a well defined appendix, 

 four apical cells and a nodal cell. Wing venation normal. Type filicicola. The 

 genus is confined to Kauai. 



There are probably four species, as it is very likely that my Bythoscopiis kukanaroa 

 and kamaiainao belong here. The declivous vertex and the position of the ocelli on 

 the apical part of the bend of the head, probably led me to place them in Bythoscopns. 

 I cannot refer to them now, however. The two species known to me are separable 

 thus :

irroratis. Valvula maris pallida ; pygophor feminae brunneo-flavescens ...\ filicicola Kirkaldy. 



1(7. Tegmina forte nigrescenti-suffusa, clavo paucis areis maculisque albidis ornato; 

 cellula subcostal! partim brunneo-flavescenti, subhyalina. Valvula maris 

 nigra; femina mihi incognita 2 microkpiae sp. nov. 



(i) Nesophryne filicicola Kirkaldy. 



Nesophryne filicicola Kirkaldy, 1907, 1. c. 



t yellowish ; pronotum tinged with greenish, sparsely clouded etc. with dark 

 fuscous and olive brown. A large transverse band on the bend of the head, dark 

 fuscous, enclosing the conspicuous yellowish red ocelli ; a central line down the clypeus, 

 most of the lora, and a spot on the genae, dark fuscous. Tegmina yellowish cinereous, 

 veins olive brown, the principal cells obscurely irrorate inside in the middle. The long 

 median cell has two subhyaline spots on its apical half, the interior subapical has two, 

 and there are others, not so distinct, on the other cells. Wings smoky with dark veins. 

 Fore and middle femora rather obscurely banded with fuscous, base of spines of hind 

 tibiae blackish. Vertex somewhat declivous, distinctly wider than long, wider than an 

 eye, flattened, not produced in front of eyes. Valve pale, wider than long, angularly 

 rounded apically ; plates a little longer in the middle than the valve, the two together 

 truncately rounded apically.
