Tegmina pale brownish yellow, a brownish smudge on costal 

 membrane and costal cell, also on apical margin (except extreme 

 apex) with stibparallel darker stripes, and two longer ones 

 near apex across tegmen, also one or two small irregular specks 

 on disk of corium and clavus. Wings pale smoky, veins pale 

 brown. Legs lined with brownish. 



Length : 7I-8I mill. 



Hab : Queensland, Cairns (vii-viii) on sugar cane and grasses 



Subfamily 3. Cixiinae. 



Apical part of tegmen not reticulate, much fewer cells than in 

 Dictyophorinae. Radial and median veins approximate at base, 

 remote from cubital. No subcostal cell. (Usually three ocelli.) 

 Anal vein running into commissure. 



It is difficult to differentiate this subfamily from the Dictyo- 

 phorinae by words, but they can hardly be confused. As a rule 

 tlie latter are much more elongate and the apical parts of the 

 tegmen reticulate or with many apical cells.

I. Solonawia, gen. nov. 



Apparently allied to Brixia Stal, but the antennae are longer 

 and more cylindric ; frons lightly carinate, etc. 



Head and eyes much narrower than pronotum ; lateral mar- 

 gins of the deeply concave vertex convergent postero-anteriorly, 

 anterior margin truncate, posterior margin deeply emarginate. 

 Frons with an apical ocellus ; roundly curved as seen in profile, 

 the disk deeply concave, very narrowly almost to apical margin 

 (ventral) eyes, then widening a little, medianly slightly carinate.
