Adrisa willeyi, sp. nov. 



Differs from tlie other Australo-Polynesian species by its more 

 elongate and parallel-sided form ; from A. similis, Signoret by the 

 presternum being only obsoletely punctured, different ostiolary 

 structure, also the tylus not at all surpassed by the juga and the 

 elytra reaching far beyond apex of abdomen ; from A. numcensis, 

 Montrouzier by the longer membrane, more feebly punctured 

 pronotum and different ostiolary structure. Black (somewhat dull), 

 lateral margin of pronotum very narrowly fulvous, posterolateral 

 angles yellowish. Elytra strongly punctured with black, clavus 

 internally and the nervures of the corium, castaneous ; exterior one- 

 third of corium and apical margin of the same narrowly, yellowish. 

 Membrane yellowish hyaline, mottled with pale brown. Basal two 

 segments of antennas, rostrum, and anterior tibiae, fulvous ; third 

 segment of rostrum fumate, fourth segment, intermediate and 

 posterior tibia? and all the tarsi, yellowish ; coxa}, femora, entire 

 ventral surface and tibial spines, black. Head smooth, somewhat 

 irregularly and obsoletely striolate. Pronotum somewhat feebly 

 punctured, except on the smooth anteromedian area. Scutellum 

 similarly punctured, more strongly and regularly at the sides. 

 Elytra strongly and closely punctured, more strongly so at the base ; 

 apical margin of corium sinuate. Membrane reaching well beyond 

 apex of abdomen. Second segment of antenna? 3J times as 

 long as the first, and one-third longer than the third which is 

 equal to the fourth. Second and third segments of rostrum sub- 

 equal, each two-fifths longer than fourth. Anterior femora incrassate. 



Long. 11 £-1 2 \ mm. (to apex of elytra), lat. 6-6f mm. across widest 

 part of elytra.
