This genus is extremely closely allied to Dcltoccphalus, the only 

 difference I can find being that the vertex in the latter is usually 

 more angulate and there are 5 discoidal cells instead of 4 as in 

 Pliryiioiiiorphits, and in the latter there is usually only one trans- 

 verse vein standing on the cubital. 



The species are all obscure and of very ordinary appearance. 

 J have indicated their uninteresting nature by the specific names 

 bestowed on them. 



1 . loiti^iiiinjiiiis sp. nov. 



Vertex broad, about as long as wide between the eyes, apical- 

 ly rounded (a little angularly, this being accentuated by the pat- 

 tern), disk depressed in the middle. Prons broad, laterally 

 rounded, apical margin slightly emarginate, about 3^ times as 

 wide between the eyes as at apex. Temples linear. Ocelli on 

 a level with the disk of the vertex before the upper margin of 

 tl.'e eyes. Clypeus wider than lorae, genae exterolaterallv pos- 

 teriorly strongly angulate. Pronotum short, more than twice 

 as broad as long, lateral margins obsolescent, posterior margin 

 truncate, posterolateral angles obsolete. Tegmina s'hort, with- 

 out appendix, not or scarcely reaching to apex of abdomen, 3 

 discoidals (2 subapical) and 5 minute apical cells. Pale cinereo- 

 testaceous, frons with close transverse dark lines radiating from 

 each side of the central pallid line, continued a little over to the 

 vertex, these latter being subconcentrically angulate( these Hnes 

 are often more or less obsolescent.) Tegminal nervures a little 

 paler than the ground colour, apically somewhat obscurely 

 broken up by darker colour. Abdominal tergites more or less 

 dark. Mesopleura -with some more or less cloudy spots. Hairs 

 on legs etc., black. 



Male : 6th sternite obtusangularly emarginate, 7th slightl} 

 convex apically. \^alves a little more than twice as long as 7th 

 medianly, nearly as wide as long, lateral margins somewhat 

 sinuate, posterior angle irregularly rounded. 



Female: Pygofers brownish in the middle spotted with pal- 

 lid. Little distinctive about them. 



Length: 3f mill; width across eyes 1-3-1^ mill. 



Hab: New South Wales, Sydney (i-ii), Mittagong (i).
