LIST OF THE SEMIPTERA OF NEW ZEALAND. 



BY F. BUCHANAN WHITE, M.D., F.L.S. 



{Continued from page 76). 



Tribe CAPSIXA. 



Professor Hutton mentions no Capsina in bis list of New Zealand 

 insects, but Mr. Walker described three, which are reduced to two by 

 Mr. Butler. Amongst the species now before me, none agree with 

 the descriptions of the Walkerian species. 



S3. Megalocercea {^Megalocercea) jRenteriaiia, n. sp. 



Linear, elongate, pale testaceous ; head with a central longitudinal line and a 

 line behind each eye, pronotum with the front margin, a longitudinal band on each 

 side of the central line (running on to the apex of the scutellum) and an indistinct 

 band on each side between that and the margin, scutellum with the basal angles, 

 sternum with a longitudinal band on each side, sometimes continued on the abdo- 

 men, back of abdomen with a broad longitudinal band, fuscous-brown ; last three 

 joints of antcnnse dusky reddish, especially upwards ; antennae (especially the stout 

 basal joint) and legs with short black spiny hairs ; middle and hind femora with 

 indistinct small pale brown spots ; apex of tarsi pitchy. 



(J $ . Length, <J , 5, ? , 7 mm. ; breadth, $ , If mm. 



Three specimens from Mr. "Wakefield. The markings vary much 

 in intensity ; the hemielytra seem a little clouded with brownish. A 

 broken ( (J ) specimen is altogether much darker, but in too bad con- 

 dition to describe. 



MOENA, n. g. 



Body oblong-oval, robust, nearly glabrous, punctate. Head 

 shortly triangular, clyjjeus rather prominent. Ej^es large, situated 

 near and extending beyond the apex of pronotum, slightly emarginate 

 on their inner side. Eostrum reaching to the mesosternum, the first 

 joint attaining the base of the head. Antennae inserted in front of
