We have taken a number of specimens of this species on low 

 shrubs on the Tweed and Richmond Rivers, N.S.W. They are 

 sluggish insects, easily captured in the day-time. 



Genus Cystopsaltria, gen.nov. 



Head width of pronotum in front, small, long as broad, strongly 

 produced forward to an acute point; front border emarginate on 

 each side; front very prominent, laterally compressed, with a very 

 lightly impressed longitudinal sulcus ; eyes small, directed 

 obliquely backward encroaching on front border of pronotum; 

 ocelli distant from base, equidistant from each other and eyes. 

 Pronotum convex, much broader at base than apex; anterior 

 border notched to receive eyes; lateral borders neither sinuate 

 nor dentate, widely diverging backward; posterior border not 

 broad, posterior angles somewhat produced. Mesonotum small, 

 wrinkled on each side. Tegmina opaque, convex exteriorly when 

 closed, and a little longer than abdomen; basal area more than 

 double longer than broad, emitting three ulnar veins, two from 

 apex which are contiguous, and one from posterior border a little 

 in front of middle; interior and middle ulnar areas similar in 

 size and shape, parallel, broadest toward apices; exterior ulnar 

 area acuminate at base and apex, parallel with radial area; costa 

 and radial vein contiguous; postcostal marginal space obsolete; 

 venation of apical two-thirds very irregular, forming innumerable 

 areas. Wings vitreous, with nine apical areas which are multi- 

 plied by transverse veins. Abdomen inflated, double the combined 

 length of head and thorax, posteriorly conical; genital apparatus 

 below, some distance in front of apex. Opercula short, broad, 

 distant, curved toward middle ; posterior inner angle acute. 

 Metasternum elevated at middle. Front femora spined below. 



Type, C imrnaculata, sp.nov. 



*Cystopsaltria immaculata, sp.nov. (Plate xviii., figs. 1-la). 



Immaculate greenish-yellow; eyes streaked with fuscous; apex 

 of clypeus acuminate; furrows on pronotum deeply excavated;
