Su'bfam. 3. Macliaerotinae. 



The following form, unknown to me, has been described from 

 Australia. 



Gen. Macherota Burmeister 1835, Handb. Ent. II, 127 and 128, 

 I. M. pugionata Stal. 1865, O. V. A. F., XXII, 154. 



Fam. Fulgoridae. 



Su'bfamily Fulgorinae. 



Distinguished by the reticulation of the anal area of tlie 

 wings; the clypeus is carinate laterally. A large number of the 

 forms are brightly colored, wthile I'he same or others are re- 

 markable for the extraordinary shape of the head. In the Aus- 

 tralian genera at least, the radial, median and brachial veins 

 issue separately from the apical margin of the basal cell. Tnese 

 forms are apparently poorly represented in Australia, only 3 

 genera and 11 species being known; of these i genus and 3 

 species are now added. 



1. Head produced in front, longer than the nota 2. 



I a. Head very Uttle prominent 'before eyes, s'horter than the 



nota together 3 Dcsudaba Walker. 



2. Costal mar'gin arched; vertex wider than eye, prolongation 

 strongly narrowed anteriorly i Eiirysthcus Stal. 



2a. Costal margins subparallel in repose; vertex not wider than 



an eye, prolongation not narrowed anteriorly 



2 HurinopyscJic, gen. nov. 



Eiirysthcus Stal. 



Eurystheus Stal, 1862 Berlin. Ent. Zeit VI, 303. 

 Although described in 1862, this genus was not included by 

 Stal in 1866 in his table of genera in the ''Hcrniptcra Africana." 



I. dilatata (Westwood). 



Fulgora dilatata Westwood 1842 Trans. Linn. Soc. London 

 XVIII, 146, PI. XII, f^gs. 8 and 9. 



Length: 15I mill. 



Hab: Western Australia, Swan River. 



This species and Eurinopysche obscurata were included by 

 Walker in his new genus Prolcpta, but are not congeneric with 

 liis type P. apicalis from the Philippines.
