2. Six red specks on vertex arranged long-itudinally in 3 

 rows, (middle row sometimes obsolescent); length over 

 7 mill • . fonnosa sp. no\-. 



1. venusta sp. nov. 



Bale greenish testaceous; vertex with six crimson specks, 3 

 on each side of the median keel, in a longitudinal row; lateral 

 keels of scutellunv more or less crimson, also a speck at the 

 interobasal angle of clavus and a speck on the commissure 

 about the middle. Leg spines black. Vertex about ^ to 4- long- 

 er than 'broad, well produced in front of eyes, rounded anter-

2. formosa sp. nov. 



Closely allied to the preceding but larger. There are six 

 specks also on the vertex, but they are orange red and are ar- 

 ranged longitudinally in 3 rows of two each, the outer not 

 being parallel but following the curve of the 'head, the middle 

 two are on the carina (sometimes obsolescent) and are placed 

 a little posterior to the corresponding lateral specks. The teg- 

 mina are spec'kled with crimson as follows: one each side on 

 the commissure a little basal of its middle, and one or two at 

 the anterior angle and 2 or 3 exteriorly — on the subapical line. 



Length: jhy^ mill. 



Hab: Queensland, lUmdaberg (ix-xii, i), i'.risl)ane (xi),

 sinuate, subapical lines. 



Vertex about twice as broad as long, extending a little in 

 front of the eyes, rounded anteriorly, rectangularly emarginate
