longer than face, flattened, distinctly tricarinate ; pronotum very 

 short, perpendicular in middle, shoulder keels very large, forming 

 very complete antennal chamber, posteriorly deeply angularly 

 emarginate in middle ; scutellum slightly longer than wide, the 

 lateral angles slightly behind middle, without carinae or with 

 three very obscure carinae (three light marks on some specimens 

 look superficially like distinct carinae). Tegmina as in Lyriccn, 

 a little broader in proportion to length. Lyriccn dififers from 

 this genus in having a subparallel-sided vertex with a truncate 

 apex, lateral keels of face never contiguous, face widening from 

 vertex to below eyes, then subparallel ; clypeus conspicuously flat- 

 tened on sides, long and narrow in front, distinctly tricarinate. 



( 1 ) P. jcf>soni sp. nov. ( S 9 ). 



Pis. II f. 10. Ill f. 9. 



Head, body and legs light yellow, fuscous on gena in front 

 of the dark brown eye ; tegmina and wings hyaline with white 

 veins, sometimes suffused with fuscous over apical cells, both 

 opaquely white with waxy secretion. Hind margin of last ab- 

 dominal ventral plate of female angularly produced, the side of 

 the produced portion being evenly and concavely curved and 

 starting from the lateral angles of the plate. Male genital styles 

 narrow, sinuous, subparallel sided, rounded at apex. 



Length of body 3 mm. ; tegmen 5 mm. 



Habitat: Fiji. I take the pleasure of naming this little insect 

 after Air. F. Jepson of Fiji. 



(2) P. kuozvlcsi ( $ 



Head, body and legs reddish-yellow, three distinct carinae on 

 scutellum, tegmina yellowish hyaline with darker veins, wings 

 hyaline with yellowish veins ; tegmina and wings slightly opaque 

 with waxy secretion. Male genital styles evenly curved along 

 edge, roundly expanded on apical two-thirds of upper edge, with 

 a small round emargination about middle, apex pointed. 



Length of body 2.5 mm. ; tegmen 5 mm. 



Habitat: Fiji. I take the pleasure of naming this little insect 

 after Mr. C. H. Knowles of Suva.
