Scolypopa australis Melichar, p. 278, PI. XI, f. 24. 



Hab: Queensland, Bundaberg (ix-xii); Moreton Bay (Meli- 

 char); New South Wales, Sydney (i); New Zealand, Palmerston 

 ■North (my collection), etc.; Viti (Froggatt). 



Commonly distributed on several plants, especially "Passion 

 fruit vines" and ferns; it is somewhat of a pest. 



2. kiirandac, sp. nov. 



Not very closely allied to any other species. 



Brown; eyes pale reddish striped narrowly sub-concentrically 

 with violet brown. Mesonotum blackish, carinae red brown. 

 Beneat'h pale yellowisli. Tegmina dark brown, a few of the 

 nervures paler; one or two short, more or less obscure, dar'ker 

 transverse fasciae, a whitish triangular spot on the costal mem- 

 brane; costal membrane and apical margin blackish. 



Frons with five distinct carinae, the su'blateral keels being 

 much more distinct than in A. australis. Rostrum short, scarce- 

 ly reaching to intermediate coxae. 



Length: 8 mill. 



Ha'b: Queensland. Kuranda (viii) ; one example on a dwarf 

 Casuarina in a rocky, wind-swept place on the banks of the 

 Baron River. 



3. scutata Stal. 



5". scutata Stal. 1859, Berlin Ent. Zeit. Ill, 26; Melichar 280, 

 PI. XI, f. 28. 



Unknown to me. 



Gaetulia Stal. 



Gaetulia Stal. 1864 Stett. Ent. Zeit. XXV, 54; Melichar 327. 

 Probably cosmo-tropical. 



I. chrysopoidcs (Walker). 



Ricajiia chrysopoidcs Walker, 1862, J. Ent. I, 312. 



Allied to G. uigroz'cnosa Mel., but differing by the form of the 

 vertex w'hic'h is wider than long, and by the color. I have little 

 doubt as to the correctness of the determination, though Walker 

 describes the vertex as 'transverse cjuadrate'; it is, in fact, ob- 

 tuseangulate anteriorly and correspondinglv emarginate pos- 

 teriorly. 



Hab: New South Wales, Sydney (i).
