Aufiterna, gen. no v. 



Allied to AuHdus but tegmina more coriaceous and venation 

 different. Pronotum anteriorly with 2 naked callose spots. 

 Posterior margin emarginate, while it is truncate in AiiMus. 

 In the tegmina there are 3 discoidals. (subapical), 4 apicals well- 

 marked, while there are another 5 small cells marked off on 

 the costal cell. There is a narrow appendix. This genus seems 

 to me more allied to Polychactophycs and other Cercopine genera 

 than to most Rhinaulacine forms. 



I. ptycloidcs, sp. nov. 



Brownish testaceous, with paler pubescence ; ocelU red. Api- 

 cal 'half of tegmina hyaline. Beneath testaceous, lateral mar- 

 gins of abdomen more or less sanguineous. On the costa about 

 the middle of the wing and extending inwards a little is a dark- 

 brown smudge. 



Length: 5-5:^ mill.

Petyllis, gen. nov. 



Allied to Aufiterna but vertex short, frons more tumid and

 mina coriaceous, 3 discoidal (subapical, and 4 apical )costa with 

 many cells anteriorly), two of the apical veins forking neaF the 

 apex. 



I. aiistralciisis. 



Brownish testaceous, with yellowish pubescence. Apical part
