Rhynchotal family Capsid^ Audt. 267 



last superficially transversely rugose. Elytra rugose-punctate, interior 

 area of membrane much longer than exterior, the latter coriaceous. 



Pale (slightly greenish) testaceous. Eyes black. Anterior femora 

 apically, and anterior tarsi, blackish. Elytra pale olivaceous ; 

 clavus centrally and subexterolaterally, corium subcostally — 

 narrowly blackish. Membranal nervures and abdomen pale greenish- 

 testaceous. 



Long. 9| mill., lat. max. 2 mill. 



Hah. Australia, Victoria, Alexandra. 



Austromiris, gen. nov. 



Allied to Mcgaloccrxa, Fieber, but dififers by the slightly 

 transverse, apically rounded head, etc. 



Vertex scarcely impressed or sulcate, basally somewhat feebly 

 marginate. Eyes not touching pronotum. Pronotum constricted 

 a little above the middle, anterior lobe laterally rounded, callose sub- 

 medianly on either side, with a small impression on either side of 

 the middle. Posterior lobe transversely rugose, lateral margins 

 sinuately divergent, posterolateral angles prominent, subacute, 

 posterior margin sinuately emarginate, exposing apex of scutellum. 

 ]\Iembranal areas entirely membranous. 



46. A. viridissimus, sp. nov. (Plates V, fig. 12 ; VI, fig. 22.) 



Smooth, glabrous (except posterior lobe of pronotum). Head, 

 scutellum, legs, etc., greenish-testaceous. Pronotum and elytra green, 

 some spots on head and anterior lobe of pronotum, the greater part of 

 posterior lobe, mediolongitudinal stripe on scutellum and exterolateral 

 angles of the latter — blackish or greenish-black. Claval and corio- 

 claval sutures and a stripe along middle of corium, antennae, tarsi and 

 tibial spines, blackish or brownish-black. Venter more or less dilute 

 green. Membrane fumate, nervures pale flavous. First segment of 

 antennae much longer than vertex, a trifle longer than pronotum, 

 more than twice as wide as 2nd segment. Second segment 3 times 

 as long as 1st, which is subequal to the 3rd. Rostrum reaching 

 nearly to apex of intermediate coxae. 



Long. 8 mill., lat. nearly 2 mill. 



Hah. Australia, Victoria, Alexandra. 



This species varies a little in colouring, principally in 

 the depth of tint of the green; thus the clavus and interior 

 half of corium are sometimes dark green, the exterior half 

 of corium greenish-yellow, these areas being separated
