18 E. BergrotJt: Species of Australian Hemiptera. 



pale fuscous, Ix^neath witli two dfirk fuscous vitlac, middle and 

 hind femora ratlier broadly fuscous at apex, front ti1)iae witli a 

 subbasal, a submedian, and an apical fuscous annulation, middle 

 and hind tibiae Avith an incomplete annulation very near the base 

 and the extreme apex fuscous, but with no trace of the fuscous ring 

 placed before the middle in almost all other species, the tarsi 

 fuscous at apex. Head with the anteocular part a little lon<,'er 

 than the remainder, eyes viewed from above hemispherical, as long 

 as broad, their anterior and posterior curvatures equally strong, 

 seen from the side (in the <?") occupying almost the Avhole height of 

 the head, the throat between the eyes as broad as the base of the 

 first rostral joint, antennae (S') with the first joint as long as the 

 distance between its base and the ocelli, above with very few and 

 short semidecumbent hairs, beneath glabrous, second joint twic* the 

 length of first, linear, shortly semierectly pilose, still more shortly 

 and sparingly so toward the base, first and second lostral joints 

 e(}ual in length. Pronotum as long as broad, with a latei-al tubercle 

 somew-hat in front of the transverse impression, the apical margin 

 distinctly angularly sinuate, the tubercle of tlie apical angles 

 directed outwards and somewhat upwards, its anterior margin 

 transverse, the posterior margin obliquely sinuate, the lateral 

 margins granulated Ijetween the apical and lateral tubercles, the 

 pronotal lobes subequal in length, anterior lobe slightly, posterior 

 one twice broader than long, the humeral angles acute, slightly 

 prominent. Scutellum slightly recurved at apex. Presternum with 

 the apical spinules short, curved. Fore trochanters with about 

 three small teeth, fore femora as long as pronotum and postocular 

 l>art of head together and three times longer than broad, beneath 

 with about eleven teeth and two setiferous granules between each 

 pair of teeth, the superior subbasal sinuosity broad and rather 

 shallow, fore tibiae reaching trochanters, fore tarsi less than one- 

 third the length of tibiae; hind femora somewhat passing apex of 

 abdomen (3"), a little shorter than the tibiae. Length, c? 14 nun. 



Victoria. 



Allied and very similar to 0. ro/ifiiait.s, lieut.. Vmt smaller and 

 narrower, and with the anteocular part of tlie head a little longer, 

 the eyes seen from above shorter and more globular with their 

 anterior and posterior curvatures ecjually strong (in cunfu-siis 

 longer than broad with the anterior curvature less pronounced), 

 the throat broader between the eyes, the second antennal joint per- 

 ceptibly shorter and more shortly setose, the fore tarsi shorter, and 

 the posterior legs quite differently coloured.
