Allied to Locris, but is very feebly, if at all, carinate on the 

 frons, and the pronotum is angularly emarginate at the base 

 medianly. The head dorsally is much more obtusely and round- 

 ly angulate anteriorly. Pronotum and tegmina rugosely- 

 punctured, apical three-fourths of the former and the head 

 strongly declivous. Wing venation similar to that of /-. I'cs- 

 figaiis and ainanroptcra as figured by Breddin.

Machaerotinae. 



At the moment of going to press, I have received the first 

 part of the 68th \'ol. of the Stettiner Ent. Zeit., containing a 

 review of this subfamily (*). The Australian genera mav be 

 disposed as follows: 



T Scutellum not sulcate; without an appendage (2) 



la vScutellum sulcate with an appendage. . .3 Pachymachacrota. 



2 Vertex almost perpendicular, very short. Nymph cases 

 elongate, subconical, more or less porrect. gradually widen- 

 ing from the base i Polychactophycs. 



2a Posterior marg-in of head raised. Ocelli farther apart. 

 Frons more swollen. Pronotum less declivous, and longer 

 in proportion to head. Nymph cases smoother and slender- 

 er 2 Pcctiinviophyes. 



The first two have ])een omitted by Schmidt. In PacJiy- 

 iiiacJmerota he places MacJntcrota piigiouafa and sigiiorcti 

 (=11 pugionata Sign.).
