Hah. — Kuranda and Brisbane, Q.; one male and two females 

 (collected by Tryon and Dodd). One of the female examples is 

 red. 



This may be identical with Walker's Cicada congrua^ described 

 in the Journal of Entomology (i. p. 303) in 1862 from Moreton 

 Bay, as one of these examples was collected by Mr. Tryon near 

 Brisbane. As no reference has been made to Walker's species 

 in entomological literature since his description was published, 

 its modern generic position is doubtful, and to avoid a possible 

 synonym, the above name is proposed. Mr. Distant has informed 

 us that Walker's type is not in the Pascoe Collection. Doubtless 

 it is lost. 



Walker's description is as follows: — ''Female. Grass-green. 

 Head short, conical along the fore border; front very convex. 

 Abdomen yellowish-white on each side of the oviduct, which is 

 ferruginous. Tarsi, fore tibiae, except the base, and tips of pos- 

 terior tibiae pale tawny; fore femora incrassated with stout 

 oblique spines. Tegmina vitreous; veins black; tegmina very 

 long; costa white, bordered with black. Length of body 8 lines; 

 of wings 24 lines. Moreton Bay, Queensland. This species has 

 most affinity to G. iitfans of New Zealand." 



Genus Glaucopsaltria, gen.nov. 



Vertex a little more than equal to combined width of eyes, a 

 median and two lateral furrows, ocelli distant from base, equi- 

 distant from each other and eyes: front strongly arched forward, 

 with a very shallow median sulcus, apex of clypeus acuminate. 

 Pronoturtt broad, short, front border close to eyes, sides parallel 

 to middle, then widely dilated into prominent posterior angles 

 posteriorly truncated; narrower in fnmt than head. Mesonotum 

 convex. Tegmina broad, vitreous tinged with green and extend 

 half their length beyond apex of abdomen; front border lightly 

 convex, basal area more than twice longer than broad, sides 

 parallel, emitting two ulnar veins a little distant at base; interior 

 ulnar area slightly narrower at apex, widest at middle, exterior 

 ulnar area very broad at apex; costa and radial veins contiguous;
