Rhynchota collected in Birara and Lifu. 329 



2. Ueana harmonia, sp. nov. 



(Plate XVII, fig. 1.) 

 (?) Tiliecn (?) lifuana, Dist., 1883, P. Z. S., p. 190. 



Pale luteous, markings on head and pronotum, lateral third of 

 scutellum, a W-mark on anterior margin of scutellum, abdomen 

 above at base — pale luteo-ferruginous ; posterior margin of pronotum 

 pale luteous. Costa, except lateral margin and basal nervures, pale 

 luteous ; lateral margins of costa very narrowly, basal cell and 

 apical nervures fuscous. Tegmina immaculate. Ocelli yellow. 



g . Rostrum reaching scarcely beyond base of posterior coxae ; 

 opercula larger, distinctly reaching well beyond apical margin of 

 1st (? 2nd) abdominal segment — genital segment apically narrowed, 

 acutangular. Metasternal process, roundly and smoothly tubercular. 



5 . Opercula smaller, not reaching to apical margin of first 

 segment. Ultimate segment acute. 



Long. 23 1 mm. Expanse of tegmina 61 mm. 



Lifu (Willey). 



3. Ueana polymnia, sp. nov. 



(Plate XVII, fig. 2.) 



*(?) Tibicen (?) lifuana, Dist., 1, c. 



Darker, the luteous replaced by furruginous on head, pronotum 

 and abdomen, except posterior margin of, and longitudinal stripe on, 

 pronoti\i, etc. 



£ . Rostrum reaching to apex of posterior coxaa. Opercula smaller, 

 not reaching to apical margin of 1st segment. Metasternal tubercle 

 smaller, not smooth. Genital segment not apically truncate or 

 slightly rounded. 



$ . Opercula as in <$ . 



T. polymnia thus seems to differ — beyond coloration — 

 by the longer rostrum, the larger opercula (at least in the 

 male), the differently formed metasternal tubercle, and the 

 stronger nervures. 



While in some specimens the ulnar nervures are quite 

 contiguous close to the base, they are clearly apart in others.
