This species was originally confused with an Aphis (probably 

 A. sacchari Zehntn., but I liave not seen specimens). 



It is easily recognized by its immaculate pale green colour; 

 spur-spines, &c., black spur with 18-20 spines. 



The nymphs differ but little from the adult, excepting the 

 usual manner, and have 2 parallel keels on the frons, close to- 

 gether and not uniting. 



Hadeodelphax. 



There are at least two Australasian species : 



I Head in profile extending almost or quite the length of the 



eye in front of the latter i pluto 



la Head in profile scarcely as much as half of the length of the 

 eye, in frcnt of the latter 2 perse pliouc 



I. pluto. 

 PI. XVII, fig. 12. 



Macropterous form: the posterior angle of the scutellum is 

 Vv^hite, and the median keel of the pronotum is sometimes pale. 



Male : pygophor sinuately rounded viewed from the end. The 

 genital styles are recurved and broadly bifid at their ends. 



Length (brach.) -^Yj, (macr.) 4% mill.

var. pallidior no v. 



I hesitate to describe this as a species, as I have seen only 

 females, and H. pluto is certainly subject to natural decoloration. 



Macropterous form: Testaceous, frons piceous brown, more 

 or less paler laterally; pronotum obscurely marked with pale 

 brown and scutellum with an obscure longitudinal stripe on each
