214 Mr. W. L. Distant on Rhynchota 
Var. a. Head with the luteous marks much smaller, 
and the central one between the eyes wanting. Pro- 
notum with the central luteous line, but without the 
irregular spots on disk. 
Hab. Queensland, Peak Downs. 
Stenozygum australis, n. s. 
Bluish black. Head with an elongate pale luteous 
spot on each lateral lobe near apex, and a transverse 
spot of the same colour on each side in front of eyes. 
Lateral lobes somewhat widely cleft at apex. Antenne 
black, basal joint shortest, remaining joints subequal. 
Pronotum with the anterior margin narrowly, the lateral 
margins more broadly, and each side of the posterior 
margin near lateral angles, narrowly luteous ; a luteous 
transverse spot on each side of anterior margin, a small 
pale luteous spot near centre of lateral margins, and a 
central | -shaped spot of the same colour on disk, the 
base of which rests on posterior margin, and the apex 
reaches rather more than midway ; the disk is somewhat 
coarsely but sparingly punctate, with a deep transverse 
impression. Scutellum with a large central dark luteous 
levigate spot at base, from which extends a narrow pale 
luteous line not reaching apex, but crossed by a narrow 
fascia of the same colour, thus forming a cruciform 
mark; the apex also pale luteous. Corium with the 
base of costal margin luteous, which colour is then 
continued in a subcostal streak till it joins a large 
transverse spot on apical margin, but which does not 
extend to apical angle. Membrane bluish black, apical 
margin pale, fuscous hyaline. The scutellum is gibbous 
and levigate at base, after which it is obscurely punctate 
and transversely rugulose; the corium is thickly and 
finely punctate. Under side of body pale luteous ; 
lateral margins of head beneath, a large subquadrate 
spot on prosternum, mesosternum and metasternum, a 
submarginal fascia and lateral portion of the incisures, 
basal margin of apical segment, femora, excepting base, 
and some linear lines on tibie, bluish black. Rostrum
