short transverse veins and exterior part sometimes of the others, 

 broadly infuscate. Abdomen soraid testaceous, more or less 

 marked with brownish. 



Length : 3-I-4 mill to apex of abdomen ; 9^ to apex of tegmina. 



Hab: Queensland, Cairns (viii) on Pandanus. 



Sardis, gen. nov. 



Allied to Phcnicc Westwood, but the tegmina are narrower 

 basally, more elongate, and dilated apical to the clavus, head 

 differently formed etc. 



Scutellum strongly roundly declivous, pronotum vertical and 

 head strongly bent under. \'ertex short, separated by a smooth, 

 confused line from the frons (of which the lateral margins are 

 svibcontiguous.) produced triangularly a little anteriorly, at base 

 narrower than one of the transverse eyes. Antennae articulat- 

 ed close to exterolateral margin of genae and close to clypeus, 

 which is as long as the epicranium and heavily carinate laterally. 

 Pionotum deeply rectangularly emarginate. Scutellum strongly 

 keeled in the middle.

Hab: Queensland, Cairns (viii), on Saccharum officinale and 

 Pandanus. Originally recorded from Java. 



Kruger (whose original work I have not seen) attributes it to 

 Westwood, but I cannot trace any description by the latter. 



Kaha, gen. nov. 



Head produced more than their length in front of the eyes ; 

 vertex of irons somewhat confused, the former excavated as far 

 as anterior margin of eyes, lateral margins acute and converg- 

 ing, meeting at anterior margin of eyes, continuing thence (some- 

 what nutantly) practically contiguous, as far as clypeus. Anten- 

 nae large but short, with enormous sensory organs, giving the 

 antennae a coralloid appearance. Pronotum carinate medianly, 

 tcctangularlv emarginate, laterallv subfoliaceous.
