rior angle of the head) ; apical margin of clypeus minutely notch- 

 ed, extending apically distinctly beyond the apical margin of the 

 genae. 



Male: vertex nearly twice as long as pronotum ; maximum 

 width greater than median length. 



Female: vertex about twice and a half as long as the prono- 

 tum ; maxinuuu width less than median length. •

This species, C(\vhich I name in houour of Dr. W. T. Brigham, 

 Director of the Ijernice Paiiahi Bishop Museum in Honolulu, 

 whose "Index to the Islands of the Pacific" (1900 Mem. Bishop 

 Mus. I, 1-172) is of such great value to the student of Pacific 

 FaunasX] seems very distinct from such Paradorydia as lanceo- 

 hUuui, foreolatinii, etc., but I can see no generic dififerences be- 

 \ond the much shorter head. On this and the straight lateral 

 margins of the vertex, 1 found a new subgenus Delfodorydium. 



5. ovidii sp. nov. 



Allied to the last, but the head more elongate, the head and 

 ]-)ronotum forming two-fifths of the entire length, and the lateral 

 margins are concavel}- curved, the species thus falling into the 

 typical subgenus. It differs frcan P. foveolatimi Sign., by the 

 much less spatulate head and less pointed tegmina. 



Length (female) 5 mill. 



Hab. New South Wales. Mittagong (Jan.).

3. trilincatus. 



The exact habitat was "New South Wales, Svdnev (Jan.,

Tribe lassini. 



Van Duzee includes this as a tribe cf his Jassina, but it is far 

 more distinct from his 'Deltocephalini' than these are from his 

 'Subfamily Acocephalina.' The lassinae are characterized by 

 the \ertex being perpendicularly raised at the sides and base, 

 the latter being practically truncate between the eyes, and dis- 

 tinctly narrower there than the apical margin of the scutellum. 

 Head and eve.'^ distinctlv narrower than the pronotum. Frons
