Venation of corium very similar to that of S. ochraceous Osborn; 

 outer claval vein hooked, and vein with a cross vein about its 

 middle length. 



Length : 4i-5i^ mill- 



Hab: Queensland, Cairns (vui). 



N B ~The coloring and pattern is sometmies obscure. 



The genus Aphrodcs and its allies appear to be descended from 

 some form very near Fhrynomorphus, the ocelli being placed a 

 httle more dorsallv and the tegmina being semicoriaceous and 

 often nmcli abbreviated, appendix always wantmg; the wmgs 

 have an incomplete submarginal vein. These characters' vVhich 

 are simply due to the degradation of the flight organs and which 

 may. and do, arise in any iM-oiip of winded msects, have been 



used to ^)rm a family, viz.: Acocep'halidae. though the) 



are 



really scarcely sufftcient to form a tribe. 



Four genera showing these characters are known, viz.: 



T. Aphrodcs Curtis (—Acnccphalus G^rm^v= A cocephalus Bur- 



meister:r=F//o/r^am7 7.e\t&TS{'^c\t=Anoscopus Kirschb). 



2. Stroggyloccphahis Flor i=Stro)igyhcepJwlns Fieb)- 



3. Kosiiiiopclc.v Kirkaldy and 



4. Xcstoccphalus \'an Duzee, this last probably not really he- 

 longing here. 



Kosiiiiopclc.v gen. nov. 



Differs from Aphrodcs by the differently shaped, foliaceous 

 head, from Eupelix Germar by the eyes not being enclosed by 

 the sides of the crown. 



Head triangular, more or less porrect. specifically variable in 

 this respect; foliaceous. Crown flattish. longer than wide be- 

 tween the eyes, from three, to four times as long as pronotum. 

 lateral margins in front of eyes slightly sinuate, apical fourth 

 su'bspatulate. Frons oblongoval, twice as long as Avide; genae 

 at antennal sockets about three-fourths of the width of the cly- 

 peus Which is parallel-sided, a little wider than lorae, the latter 

 not quite touching posterior margin of genae- Eyes large, 

 forming part of the curve of the -head, not enclosed by lateral 

 margin of crown. Ocelli on the disk of the crown just above 

 anterior margin of the eyes, a little nearer lateral margins than 

 the middle line. Pronotum transverse, about three times as 

 wide as long, slig'htlv arched anteriorly, very o'btuseangularly 

 emarginate posteriorly; lateral margins short. Tegmina coria- 

 ceous, abbreviated, reaching little beyond base of abdomen.
