tex (on either side of the central keel) and vertex apicaliy, 

 blackish brown. Scutellum pale brownish testaceous with a 

 central ivory white line, which does not quite reach the ivory 

 white posterior angle. Tegmina hyaline, colorless, veins and 

 sligma pale brown, an apical smudge similar to that in the pre- 

 ceding species, but paler. Some of the s'hort transverse veins 

 in the apical part of the tegmen narrowly ivory white. 



Length: 8^-9 mill. 



Hab: New South Wales, Mittagong (i). 



The following species are unknown to me: 



6. Dictyophora bifasciata Distant 1892 Tr. E. S. London, 279 

 from Peak Downs, apparently closely allied to T. lucinda:, but 

 the sternites are ochraceous. 



7. D. uisignis Distant 1. c. from same locality. Probal)ly 

 allied to T. anadyomene but the coloration appears to be differ- 

 ent. 



Hasta, gen. nov. 



Allied to Thanatodictya, but head and pronotum differently 

 formed. In the latter the lateral margins of pronotum are con- 

 vex, in the present genus they are straight or a little concave. 

 Head slightly ascending, somewhat tapering. Central keels of 

 vertex and frons entire. Eyes small, elongate. Lateral mar- 

 gins of scutellum more rounded basally. Tegmina witli apical 

 cells and with many transverse veins; costal cell without trans- 

 verse veins; stigma composed of three cells. Posterior tibiae 

 3-spinose. 



There are two species: 



1. Head about as long as nota and abdomen together; ve'ns 

 green; length 18-19 mill hastata sp. nov. 



2. Head about as long as pronotum and mesonotum together; 



veins of wings blackis'h brown; length 11^ mill 



paupera sp. nov. 



I. hastata sp. nov. 



Immaculate grass-green, keels of scutellum tinged with b'ue. 

 Tegmina and wings hyaline, colorless, veins green. Brachial 

 vein forked nearer to the base than the cubital, which is forked 

 nearer to the base than the radial. Subcosta apicallv very nar- , 

 rowly brownish. 



Length: 18-19 "lill- 



Hab: Queensland, Cairns (viii) on grass.
