2. angustifrons, sp. nov. 



Distinguished from L. australicns by the elongate frons; (in 

 that species it is "almost as wide as long.") Greyish testaceous, 

 vertex, lateral margins of frons (spotted with testaceous), mark- 

 ings on clypeus, etc., middle part of pronotum and of scutellum. 

 extreme base of clavus, some obscure, small, markings on teg- 

 mina (especially on apical and costal margins), some more or 

 less obscure mai^kirigs on legs and abdomen — blackish. Under- 

 side yellowis'h testaceous, frontal carinae pale ferruginous. Teg- 

 minal veins more or less closely speckled with s,anguineous. 

 Wings pale smoky. Vertex a little longer than wide; lateral 

 margins of vertex and frons acutelv elevated vertically; on the 

 front within tiliese are 3 carinae united basally acutangularly, 

 diverging a little posteriorly and roundly uniting again. Frons 

 nearlv twice as long as wide, wider posteriorly than anteriorly. 

 Rostnmi reaching to posterior coxae. Upper apical angle of 

 tegmina about rio^ht angled. 



Length: 8 mill., height in profile about 4^ mill. 



H'a'b: Queensland, Bundaberg (xi). arboreal. 



3. acHtipctinis, sp. nov. 



Closely allied to L. angustifrons. but smaller, and the upper 

 apical angle of tegmina distinctly acute and more prominent; 

 the anterior carina of vertex truncate, and more pronounced (it 

 is feeble and excavately angulate in L. angustifrons). The veins 

 are not. or very scarcelv, marked with sanguineous.
