ly aiid laterally, as also clypeus. Face with two transverse 

 white bands. 



1. pyrrhyllis, sp. nov. 



Pale yellowish testaceous, more or less pallidly infuscate. 

 Scutellum infuscate between the keels. Abdomen mostly black- 

 ish. Tegmina hyaline, pale smoky, basal veins dark brownish, 

 costa and apical veins sanguineous. Vertex ratHier obscurely 

 keeled medianly. 



Length: 3 mill to apex of abdomen; 4^ to apex of tegmina. 



Hab: Queensland, Bundaberg (xi). 



Majella, gen. nov. 



Distinguished from any of the other Australian Genera, by 

 the lateral keels of the irons meeting in an angle at the base, 

 and the genae being subfoliaceous and dorsally prominent. 

 General appearance of Phenelia, but the veins are strongly gran- 

 ulate, and the apical third of tegmen is more or less declivous. 

 Posterior tibiae with a spine. 



I. majella, sp. nov. 



Pale cinereous or" testaceous, a thin short dark brown line

 and subvertical. 



Length: (male) 4; (female) 4^-5 mill. 



Hab: Queensland, Nelson (vii). Cairns (viii).
