clypeus laterally, legs, abdomen partly, pale testaceous. 



Vertex flat, twice as long- as pronottim, obtusangulate and a 

 little prominent apically. Tegmina opaque, reaching to about 

 one-half of the length from base of pronotum to apex of abdo- 

 men. 



Length: 3^ mill. 



Hab: Queensland, Cairns (vii-viii), Koebele's No. 2257, 

 from grasses on damp ground. 



2. histrioniciis, sp. nov. 



Vertex, pronotum and scutellum brownish piceous ; frons, ca- 

 rina of clypeus, tegmina etc., shining black ; sides of clypeus, ge- 

 nae, underside more or less, legs, etc., testaceous. Tergites 

 mostly testaceous, 3 apical segments pale sanguineous. 



Smaller and more elongate than G. alboUneatiis, vertex more 

 concave, shorter, scarcely longer than pronotum, not produced 

 in front of eyes, apically subtruncate. Tegmina opaque, more 

 rounded costally, reaching to about two-thirds of the length from 

 base of pronotum to apex of abdomen. 



Length : 2^ mill. 



Hab: Queensland, Cairns (viii. No. 2272), from grasses on 

 dry ground. 



3. suffusus, sp. nov. 



Closely allied to G. histrionicus but I do not think it is an im- 

 inaturely coloured form of that species. 



Pale testaceous; vertex, pronotum and scutellum more or less 

 suffused with pale sanguineous. Tegmina shining, translucent. 

 Tergites pale yellow testaceous, base and 3 apical segments pale 

 sanguineous. 



Length : 2\ mill. 



Hab: Queensland, Cairns (viii), probably on grasses. 



N. B. — I do not possess the description of the following spe- 

 cies, but suppose that it belongs to the Issinae : 



I. AUcloplasis darwini G. B. Waterhouse 18^9 T. E. S. Lon- 

 don H. 



Subfam. Eurybrachyinac. 



Of this group some 20 genera have been proposed; they are 

 unknown in Hawaii, but 7 genera and 25 species are recorded 

 from Australia, of these 3 and 5 respectively are now described 

 as new.
