New Genera and Species of Australian Heniiptei-a. II 



slightly raised smooth median line. Corium with the costal margin 

 straight in its basal fourth, then somewhat ampliately roviuded, 

 apical margin straight, shorter than the claval suture, radial vein 

 furcate behind the middle, forming an elongate triangular apical 

 ■cell; clavus with four rows of punctures and somewhat confusely 

 punctate between the tAvo median rows which join before middle of 

 ■clavus, proceeding as a single row to its base, tlie commissure as 

 long as the scutellum. Posterior angles of metai^leurae acute. 

 Venter of the female with the fifth segment extremely short in the 

 middle. Front femora a little thicker than the others, unarmed; 

 middle and hind tibiae with a row of spine-like bristles beneath. 



This genus does not seem to have any near ally among the 

 described tropical genera, Init is closely related to the Mediter- 

 ranean genus IlyaJochilus. Fieb. , from which it differs in having 

 the eyes a little less prominent beyond the pronotal apical angles, 

 the bucculae shorter, tlie first antennal joint produced farther 

 beyond the apex of the head, the second joint longer, the fourth 

 not fusiform, the scutellum shorter, the front femoi-a less slender, 

 etc. 



GkTKS FUSCICKPS, n. Sp. 



Head dark fuscous, clothed with extremely fine and short recum- 

 bent white hairs, clypeus testaceous, still paler at the tip, pronotum 

 and corium (with clavus) stramineous, rather thickly and finely 

 punctured with ferruginous or brownish, anterior lobe of pronotum 

 (excepting apical and lateral margins and a longitudinal intilian 

 line) the abdomen ferruginous, iinpunctate, pronotal lateral 

 margins testaceous with a small stramineous spot at the ends of 

 the transverse impression, scutellum testaceous. brown-i)unctuicd. 

 the median line and a sublateral vitta stramineous, impunctate. 

 the apex fuscous, corium with a faint l>rownish spot just lieliiiid 

 middle of costal lx)rder and with the apical angle fuscous, mem- 

 brane whitish, between the veins with fuscous streaks and sjiots. 

 pectus piceous, punctate, propleurae paitly paler; antennae, 

 rostrum, and legs testaceous, last antennal joint fuscous, apex of 

 femora stramineous preceded by a fuscous annulation in tlie two 

 posterior pairs, the spine-like bristles oi the four posterior tibiae 

 black. Hemelytra reaching apex of abdomen, corium with the 

 -costal border and veins impunctate, near the claval suture with the 

 two ordinary punctulate lines, the smooth space between these lines 

 broadest a little behind the middle and with a few punctures at 

 •this place. Length. $ 3.8 — 4.4 mm.
