 2. paupcra sp. nov. 



Immaculate green, of a yellower hue than the preceding. 

 \^eins of wing's 'blackish brown. 



Dififers from H. hastata by t'he vertex being only about as 

 long as t'he pronotum and mesonotum. Eyes more prominent. 

 The radial is forked nearer the base than is t'he cubital, this 

 nearer the base than the brac'hial. 

 . Lengtih: iii mill. 



Hab: Queensland, Cairns (viii) on grass. 



Astorga, gen. nov. 



Not closely related to any other Dictyophorine ; has a little the 

 appearance of a long nosed ElasiiiosccUs. but the anal vein runs 

 into the commissure. 



Vertex narrow, about twice as long as broad, extending well in 

 front of prominent eyes which do not extend laterally so far as 

 the pronotum ; carinate medianly the keel extending to posterior 

 margin of scutellum. Frons ventrally curved as seen in pro- 

 fde ; long and narrow and depressed along the middle, many 

 times longer than wide ; not carinate medianly ; dorsally it caps 

 the vertex and is about half the length of the latter, truncate, not 

 carinate. Ocelli very small. Antennae small, second segment 

 cylindric, about twice as long as wide. Pronotum medianly 

 al>out two-thirds the length of the vertex, tricarinate, posterior 

 margin truncate. Scutellum about two and one-half times as long- 

 as pronotum, tricarinate. Tegmina flat, or slightly tectiform, 

 costa roundly arched, narrowing apically, apical riiargin oblique- 

 ly sub-truncate. Costal cell wider at maximum than the sub- 

 costal cell, the former with transverse veins; radial forked at 

 about one-fourth of length of tegmina, med'an a little before 

 middle, citbital about the middle, no subapical line. Anterior 

 femora dilated. 



I have placed this among the Dictyophorinae because of the 

 general fundamental structure, and that of the antennae. The 

 venation is typically Dictyophorine, but there is a costal cell 

 with transverse veins. 



I. saccharicida, sp. nov. (PI. XXMII. tigs. 10-13.) 



Brownish testaceous ; head paler, abdomen mostly darker ; 

 frons laterallv and dorsallv marked with short brownish lines.
