Add: Fiji, Rewa (Mar.. Apr., Nov., Dec, Muir's No. 48) 

 "common on certain native trees in the Bush and at times very 

 common on Sugar Cane, turning the leaves yellow in streaks 

 Vk^here they feed." 



The stridulatory area is figured on I'l. NX, figs. 6-7. 



2. citharista sp. nov. 



The lateral margins of the vertex are rather more widely re- 

 tlexed than in the type species. Testaceous, posterior angle of 

 scutellum brown, genae partly suffusedly with rosy. Tegmina 

 cinereotestaceous, veins concolorous, two transverse bands of grey- 

 brown, at their base and on the basal third, the latter dividing 

 into two at the radial vein, the lower branch (which is actually 

 a spot on the subcostal cell ) curving apical-wards and dividing 

 into two bands which proceed irregularly to the apical parts of 

 the tegmen. Wings hyaline, veins partly fuscous, a longitudinal 

 fuscous stripe on the apical third near the middle. 



Length 5 mill, to apex of clctsed tegmina. 



Hab. Fiji, (March, Muir's No. 106,) arboreal. 



The stridulatory area is figured on PI. XX, figs. 1-2. 



3. oninta. 



Makula ornata Distant, 1. c, fig. 5. 



Hab. Queensland. 



This dififers from the preceding two species by having apparent- 

 ly a few more veins at the lower apical part, and usually in the 

 A'itian forms, there is a cross vein in the first wing cell, but this 

 is sometimes absent in P. citharista. The eyes are also a little far- 

 ther from the dorsal margin of the genae in P. ornata. 



Ncsonciira subgenus nov. 



Close to typical Pyrrlwiiciira, but the eyes are placed more as 

 in P. ornata and the head in profile is subangulate anteriorly, 

 while it is distinctly more elongate dorsally, being medianly ex- 

 tended farther in front of the eyes than with them. 



4. 7jiticnsis sp. nov. 



Testaceous ; the eyes and a small spot on each frontal keel at 

 its base and the same at its apex, sides of pronotum narrowly, 

 liasal half of subcostal cell, blackish., Tegminal veins white, an oh-
