 etc., more or less dark ferruginous. Horns rather larger at the 

 bases more contiguous, posterior process not so elevated pos- 

 teriorly. Externor subapical cel'l subhemispherical; base of 

 third apical cell curved inwards on the outer side.

Centroiypus Stal. 



Centrotypiis Stal 1866, Hem. Afr., IV, 88 ; Coding 26. 

 I think this genus runs gradually into Acanthuchus and that 

 Scrtorius is a synonym also.

 ly outward, very slightly upward and backward, bases remote. 

 Exterior subapical cell elongate, suboval. 



Length : 8 mill, width, 45 mill.

The following Membracidae, not included in Coding's Mono- 

 graph, have been recorded from Australia. Their identification 

 is doubtful without access to the types. 



1. Philya parvula Buckton 1901, Mon. 57, PI. 8, hg. 4, is I 

 think, my Phrynoiiwrphycs parvula, a Tetigoniine, and has noth- 

 ing to do with Philya. 



2. Oxyrhachis ucglccfiis Buckton 1903 Mon. 224. PI. 49, fig. 5. 

 South Australia. Probably not an Oxyrhachis. 



3. Datiniis siiccisiis Buckton 226, PI. L, fig. 3. 

 South Australia. Not a Daninis.
