(almost encircling the black pellet), and 3 large spots at apex of 

 costal cell and on the basal apical-cells. 



Length : 3I mill. 



Hab: Queensland, Cairns (vii). 



Family Eutropistidae. 

 (=::iTrflf^iduchida Stal.) 



I am a little uncertain as to the constituents of this; the an- 

 tcnnal structure is often very obscure and I have not been able 

 to examine it in some forms as I would wish. The subcostal 

 cell is present and the costal cell usually provided with trans- 

 verse veins; the anal vein runs into the apical angle of the clavus. 

 The last segment of the rostrum is moderately long. 



Monopsis Spinola, which Stal places in his Tropiduchida. ap- 

 pears to me to belong to the Dictyophorinae.
