Pale yellowish testaceous, scutellum more or less infuscate 

 basally. Tegmina hyaline, largely clouded with brownish, veins 

 sanguineous. Tergites infuscate. 



Length : 5 mill. 



Hab: Queensland, Kuranda (viii), arboreal. 



Fam. Issidae. 



There are two main divisions, characterized by the lateral 

 form of the frons; this is however really not a sharp differentia- 

 tion, Gcdrosia Stal seeming to connect them. The Issinae have 

 the lateral mar'gins of the frons straight, or more or less round- 

 ed, w'hile the Eury'bradhyinae have them strongly, often acutely 

 angulate. The former, moreover, are usually dull in hue, while 

 the la+ter often have richly var'egated tegmina and sometimes 

 brightly colored wings. The aberrant genera Tctigomctra Lat- 

 reille and Hilda Kirkaldy should perhaps not be included in this 

 family. 



Subfamily Issinae. 



Of this group some 60 genera have been erected, though 

 many are still little known. It is not represented in the Ha- 

 waiian arc'hipelago, but for Australia I record 6 genera and 13 

 species, of which 5 and 11 respectively are new. The Austra- 

 lian genera may be separated as follows: 



1. Tegmina abbreviated, clavus not sutured off from coriuni 

 (posterior tibia with one spine) 6 Gclastissus gen. nov. 



la. Tegmina complete, clavus sutured off 2. 



2. Tibiae with one spine; (tegmina tectiform) 



5 LipocoUia gen. nov. 



2a. Tibiae with 2 spines .3. 



3. Win'gs rudimentary 4. 



3a. Wings complete, not incised apically 5. 



4. Vertex flattish; cubital vein simple, median and radial 

 veins forked near the base 4 Hysfcropfcriiiii Am. Serv. 



4a. Vertex concave; radial vein forked near the base, cubital 

 and median veins forked the middle of the tegmina; (first 

 segment of posterior tarsi very short) 3 Sannis Stla. 



5. Abdomen cylindrical; appearance Poekillopteroid 



2 Lollius Stal. 



5a. Abdomen depressed: appearance Cercopoid..i Issus Fabr.
