480 Mr. W. L. Distant’s enwmeration of the 
Novatilla fasciata, n.s. (Pl. XIIL., fig. 2). 
Head reddish ochraceous, margins of the central lobe and eyes 
somewhat blackish; antenne black, with the basal joint ochraceous. 
Pronotum olivaceous, tinged with reddish anteriorly, the anterior 
and lateral margins luteous, and crossed by six broad black fascie, 
of which the second on each side is shortest and slightly curved. 
Scutellum pale olivaceous, with two broad longitudinal black 
fascize, and with a small black punctate spot at each basal angle. 
Corium reddish ochraceous, with a broad irregular black fascia. 
Membrane black, with the apical margin pale fuscous. Body 
beneath reddish ochraceous or pale violaceous, lateral margins of 
sternum and abdomen broadly black, and a broad central fascia to 
abdomen (sometimes not reaching base) also black. Legs bright 
olivaceous, the tarsi infuscated. Antenne with the fourth joint 
longest, second slightly shorter than third. Head obscurely trans- 
versely striate. Pronotum, scutellum, and corium coarsely punc- 
tate, apex of scutellum almostimpunctate. Long. 8 mm. 
This species is allied to the Australian N. virgata, 
Dail., from which it not only differs by the more fasciate 
markings, but also by the structure of the antenne, 
which in N. virgata have the second and third joints 
subequal in length.
