  Genus 
  Amphaces, 
  Dall. 
  

   This 
  genus, 
  proposed 
  by 
  inyself, 
  at 
  p. 
  295 
  of 
  the 
  Catalogue 
  of 
  

   Hcviiptera 
  in 
  the 
  British 
  Museum, 
  is 
  nearly 
  allied 
  to 
  ^c«??ifAosowia, 
  

   but 
  is 
  readily 
  distinguished 
  from 
  it 
  by 
  the 
  slight 
  development 
  here 
  

   attained 
  by 
  the 
  sternal 
  keel 
  and 
  ventral 
  spine. 
  In 
  the 
  work 
  above 
  

   quoted 
  I 
  have 
  described 
  two 
  species, 
  which 
  closely 
  resemble 
  each 
  

   other 
  in 
  form 
  and 
  colour, 
  differing 
  principally 
  in 
  size 
  and 
  the 
  rela- 
  

   tive 
  proportions 
  of 
  the 
  joints 
  of 
  the 
  antennae. 
  The 
  species 
  which 
  

   I 
  have 
  now 
  to 
  describe, 
  and 
  of 
  which 
  a 
  single 
  specimen 
  exists 
  in 
  

   the 
  collection 
  of 
  this 
  Society, 
  is 
  of 
  a 
  much 
  more 
  elongated 
  form 
  

   than 
  either 
  of 
  these, 
  and 
  is 
  entirely 
  of 
  a 
  pale 
  green 
  colour. 
  Like 
  

   the 
  other 
  species 
  it 
  is 
  from 
  Australia.
