New Genera and Species of Australian Hemiptera. o 



EUMIiCOPUS ADVERSIDKNS, 11. Sp. 



Elliptical, above purplish brown, thickly punctate, seven .stri}K's 

 to head, two spots before middle of pronotum and its lateral 

 margins as far as to base of humeral spines, a callus at basal any:les 

 of scutellum and more than the apical third of its postfrenal part, 

 costal and apical margins of corium, its veins, a jaggered vilta in 

 tho exocorium and in the basal half of the mesocorium, a spot 

 tehind middle of mesocorium emitting a narrow vitta 

 obliquely forwards to the cubital vein and two less distinct vittae 

 backwards to the apical margin, and several mottlings to pronotum, 

 scutellum, and mesocorium pale ochraceous and impunctat<.\ cou- 

 nexivum red, its exterior margin ochraceous interrupted by black 

 at the incisures, membrane black, the exterior veins whitish grey 

 toward apex; beneath ochraceous, head with a faint brownish vitta 

 along the bucculae, pleurae and venter punctate with pale reddish 

 brown, posterior part of propleurae more darkly punctate, 

 middle of venter and its lateral borders as far as to the pale 

 spiracles impunctate, a spot at basal and apical angles of the 

 segments black, basal lobes of female genital segment infuscated; 

 rostrum testaceous, last joint piceous, legs purplish red, coxae, 

 trochanters, base and two or three streaks of femora, and a broad 

 more or less complete subbasal annulation to tibiae ochraceous, last 

 two tarsal joints pale red. Head longer than broad and slightly 

 longer than pronotum in the middle, clypeus a little longer than 

 juga, apical tooth of bucculae directed forward and somewhat out- 

 ward, and very slightly downward, largely visible from above, 

 black at tip, rostrum reaching base of fourth ventral segment, 

 second joint distinctly longer than third and fourth together; 

 (antennae wanting). Pronotum with the lateral margins rather 

 deeply arcuately sinuate, their apical third finely crenulatei, 

 humeral spines rather long, directed outwards and a little forwards 

 and upwards. Scutellum shorter than head and pronotum together, 

 the postfrenal part a little longer than broad and narrowing fioni 

 base to apex. Hemelytra passing apex of abdomen by more than 

 one-third the length of the membrane, apical margin of corium 

 slightly sinuate near middle. Abdomen very slightly broader than 

 the closed hemelytra, ventral furrow rather deep, reaching apex of 

 fifth segment, basal lobes of female genital segment rugose. Length 

 {eicl. membrane), ? 17.5 mm. 



West Australia. 



A well-marked species coming nearest to E. acanthopifgius, Stiil. ,^^iv^i£i,,_^^ 

 but easily distinguished by many characters. j/^'!\^^^ n /
