No species of the sub-faaiily Geocorime was hitherto known 

 from the Australian continent, but as the genus Geocoris is 

 generally distributed throughout the world and is also found 

 in New Caledonia, its occurrence in Australia is in no wise 

 unexpected. I know a still undescribed Australian genus of 

 Geocorime.
