Rhynchota collected in New Guinea. 479 
with the apex ochraceous and very sparingly punctate, a small 
foveate dark metallic-green spot at each basal angle. Corium 
tinged with purplish, except at costal area. Membrane shining 
fuscous, the veins, base, and lateral margins bluish black, the apex 
pale fuscous. Connexivum ochraceous, with a few dark punctures, 
the segmental angles narrowly dark bluish black. Body beneath 
and legs ochraceous; legs spotted with black, a submarginal fascia 
to prosternum and abdomen metallic-green, surrounded with 
purplish punctures, a broad submarginal fascia to meso- and meta- 
sterna purplish. Antenne with the fourth and fifth joints 
longest and subequal in length, second and third joints subequal or 
third joint a little longer than second, third, fourth, and fifth joints 
pilose. The pronotal angles subacute and directed outwardly. 
The membranal veins are longitudinal, and not reticulated. The 
rostrum is ochraceous, streaked with fuscous above, and just 
passes the posterior coxa. The anterior femora are obscurely 
spined beneath towards apex. Long. 15 mm.; exp. pronot. angl. 
9mm. 
Agonoscelis rutila. 
Cimex rutilus, Fabr., 8. Ent., p. 714, 88 (1775). 
Somewhat generally distributed throughout the Malay 
Archipelago, and found in Australia. I possess speci- 
mens from Port Moresby and Duke of York Island. 
NovaTILLA, Nn. g. 
Head large, broad, about as long as pronotum, lateral margins 
moderately and concavely sinuate, central lobe very slightly pro- 
jecting in front of lateral lobes. Antenne five-jointed, eyes some- 
what exserted. Pronotum twice as broad as long, lateral margins 
slightly sinuate. Scutellum subtriangular, shorter than corium, 
narrowed beyond middle, the apex rounded and extending a little 
beyond the base of membrane. Corium outwardly and moderately 
convexly laminate, and coarsely punctate. Connexivum projecting 
beyond middle of corium. Rostrum passing the posterior coxe. 
Abdomen somewhat obscurely sulcated near base. Tibi sulcated. 
I place this genus near Afrania, from which the 
sulcated tibize will alone at once distinguish it. It also 
includes the Pentatoma virgata, Dall.
