778 HETKROPTEROUS HEMIPTERA FROM EASTERN AUSTRALIA. 



rounded and narrowly explanate. Membrane without apparent 

 veins^. [I have not examined the wings.] Legs all short, fore 

 coxse inserted on the disk of the prosternum, coxeb globular (as 

 also the middle pair), shorter than the trochanters, femora 

 greatly incrassate, longer than the tibiae. Hind coxae more 

 elongate. Middle and hind femora incrassate, longer than their 

 tibise. Tarsi minute, arolia very large, elongate, nearly as long 

 as the claws. 



21. T. AUSTRALicuM, sp.nov. (Pl.xliii., figs. 1-3). 



Ochreous. Third (except apex and base) and fourth segments 

 of antennae, tarsi and apex of labium, black. E3^es reddish- 

 piceous. Tergites (except lateral margins) apparently dark 

 fuscous, as also a part of the underside. Punctures brownish. 

 Antennae 3, 6, 8, 8, third and fourth segments sulcate. Length, 

 S 3i mill. 



Hab. — Q.: Bundaberg (Sept.-Dec; Koebele). 



TINGID^. 

 Serenthia Spinola. 

 22. S. vulturna, sp.nov. 



Allied to S. gihha (Fieber), but the pronotum is much less 

 convex. The first segment of the antennae is one-half longer 

 than the second, the third is twice as long as the fourth, and 

 four and one-half times as long as the second. The metasternum 

 is not pale posteriorly. The pronotum is evidently, though not 

 strongly, percurrently carinate. Pronotum black, with a pale 

 collar anteriorly (not encroaching posteriorly at the sides), and 

 the posterior prolongation pale. Length 2J mill. 



Hah. — Q.: Bundaberg (Sept.-Dec; Koebele). 



All the species of Serenthia in my collection are strongly 

 brachypterous; the present form is less coriaceous and has a dis- 

 tinctly separated costal (or subcostal?) area, which is uniareol ate. 

 In these respects, this Australian species seems to approximate 

 to *S'. femoralis Thomson, and S. hrevirostris Yakovlev.
