782 HETEROPTEROUS HEMIPTERA FROM EASTERN AUSTRALIA, 



eyes than in A. virndus. The second segment of labium is very 

 long, reaching to the fore trochanters, the third reaching to the 

 middle pair. Antennae 3, 1, 5, 5, 6. The pronotal constriction 

 is rather feeble in the middle, and the anterior area is distinctly 

 lonc^er than in A. vinulus, being about thrice as long as the hind 

 area medianly, the latter being distinctly longer at the sides 

 than in the middle. Femora much as in A. vinulus, but the fore 

 tibiae more widened; fore and middle femora each with a double 

 row of about 17 teeth, tibise somewhat correspondingly but more 

 bluntly toothed. 



Q. Abdomen widened behind, black concolorous beneath. 

 Length 5.^ mill., width 2 mill.

Hah. — Q.: Kuranda (August; Perkins). Also from Fiji: Rewa 



(Muir). Previously recorded from Ceylon, and like many other 



Nabidae, probably easily introduced, so tliat its endemic habitat 



is doubtful.

Intermediate between Stal's divisions a and act (of Arhela), in 

 that the hind area of the pronotum is distinctly and rather 

 densely punctured, scarcely so, however, on the declivous hind 

 margin, while there is no median pale line. 



Head : first segment of antennae, labium, and underside pale 

 ochraceous or testaceous, probably greenish in life; rest of antennae 

 dark fuscous. Pronotum pale light green, hind margin infuscate, 

 as also scutellum. Tegmina fuscous, lateral margins greenish- 

 yellow. Legs greenish or greenish-testaceous, third segment of 

 tarsi and the knees fuscous. Abdomen above sanguineous, except 

 the lateral margins and the apical segment. First segment of the 

 antennae about twice and one-half as long as the head, subequal 

 to second segment. Labium reaching to the middle coxae, second
