  Legs 
  uniformly 
  greenish 
  white, 
  except 
  the 
  apices 
  of 
  the 
  

   tarsi, 
  which 
  are 
  blackish. 
  Ventral 
  surface, 
  except 
  at 
  the 
  

   apex, 
  pale 
  fulvous-testaceous, 
  perhaps 
  discoloured. 
  

  

  The 
  colour 
  of 
  the 
  legs 
  when 
  the 
  insect 
  was 
  alive 
  was 
  

   probably 
  of 
  a 
  bright, 
  delicate 
  green, 
  which 
  has 
  doubtless 
  

   faded, 
  as 
  does 
  the 
  green 
  of 
  Strongylogaster 
  delicatulns 
  

   Fall., 
  with 
  age. 
  

  

  SUNOXA, 
  gen. 
  nov. 
  

  

  Head 
  scarcely 
  developed 
  behind 
  the 
  eyes, 
  the 
  front 
  

   and 
  vertex 
  forming 
  one 
  piece 
  without 
  a 
  suture; 
  the 
  frontal 
  

   area 
  obsolete. 
  Mesonotum 
  trilobate. 
  Legs 
  stout 
  ; 
  the 
  

   hinder 
  coxae 
  large 
  ; 
  the 
  basal 
  joint 
  of 
  the 
  hinder 
  trbne 
  

   dilated, 
  hollowed 
  on 
  the 
  outer 
  side 
  ; 
  about 
  two-thirds 
  of 
  

   the 
  length 
  of 
  the 
  hinder 
  tibiae 
  and 
  twice 
  the 
  length 
  of 
  the 
  

   other 
  joints 
  united 
  ; 
  the 
  second 
  as 
  long 
  as 
  the 
  third 
  and 
  

   fourth 
  united, 
  stout 
  ; 
  the 
  last 
  as 
  long 
  as 
  the 
  preceding 
  two 
  

   united; 
  the 
  patellae 
  obsolete; 
  the 
  claws 
  with 
  two 
  unequal 
  

   teeth. 
  The 
  basal 
  nervure 
  is 
  united 
  to 
  the 
  cubital 
  ; 
  there 
  

   are 
  two 
  cubital 
  cellules 
  in 
  the 
  hind 
  wings. 
  

  

  Belongs 
  to 
  the 
  Selandriades 
  and 
  comes 
  near 
  to 
  Siobla 
  

   and 
  Strongylogaster 
  with 
  which 
  it 
  agrees 
  in 
  the 
  alar 
  neura- 
  

   tion, 
  but 
  differs 
  markedly 
  in 
  the 
  head 
  not 
  being 
  developed 
  

   behind 
  the 
  eyes 
  and 
  in 
  the 
  great 
  length 
  and 
  size 
  of 
  the 
  

   metatarsus, 
  which 
  is 
  longer 
  in 
  proportion 
  to 
  the 
  other 
  

   joints 
  than 
  in 
  any 
  genus 
  known 
  to 
  me. 
  Unfortunately 
  

   the 
  antennae 
  are 
  broken 
  off.
