 emarginate on the ventral margin. Genital styles broad at the 

 base, tapering and curving towards the apex ; oedeagus rathei 

 small.

This is scarcely separable except by the genitalia, from [>ro- 

 scrpina, but whereas all the specimens of the former I have seen 

 are macropterous, the present species is known to me only in 

 its brachypterous form. The tegmina extend to about half the 

 length of the abdomen ; truncate apically, slightly obliquely. 



The male pygophor is 5 times emarginate apically, the central 

 production being emarginate. to allow the egress of the elongate 

 oedeagus, which is widely bifid basally. the projections being 

 slender and acute. The anal spines are not very dissimilar to 

 those in proscrpina, but are longer and more divergent apically. 

 The genital styleps are somewhat like those of proserpina. 



Length : 2^ mill. 



Hab: Queensland, Cairns (July-Aug.).

Pale ferruginous, a broad ivory white stripe from apex of 

 head (dorsally) to apex of abdomen. Beneath pale ferrugino- 

 testaceous, legs testaceous, frons medianly rather broadly ivory 

 white. Tegmina subhyaline, tinged with yellowish, subcosta and 

 commissure, ivory whitish. Head slightly produced in front 

 of eyes. Antennae reaching well beyond base of clypeus. first 

 segment nearly as long as the second. Tegmina reaching a 

 little beyond apex of abdomen, but membrane scarcely formed.
