MUNATIA AUSTRALIS, new species. 



General color hrowish t'orruoinous, onh' varied by having the pro- 

 notal carina and a median line on occiput to fastigium testaceous. In 

 the male this line is also continued on the dorsal edge of tegmina for 

 half their length. Much smaller than J/, jmnetata Stal, from which 

 it dili'ers markedly otherwise ])\ having the pronotal carina blunt and 

 smooth instead of thin and irregularl}' serrate. 



Head rather small, the vertex horizontal, acuminate, extending in 

 front of the eyes about twice as far (female) or a tritle more (male) as 

 tlieir distance apart, broadly and shallowly sulcate; frontal costa 

 prominent above, widening gently to just ])elow the ocellus, where the 

 cariiue unite for a short distance and again gently separate and con- 

 tinue to the clypeus, just before reaching which they diverge more 

 abi-uptly, sulcate from l)etween the antennte; lateral carinre of face 

 interrupted, the face provided with several prominent longitudinal 

 ruga> and elevated points; cheeks also more or less coarsel}^ rugose. 

 Pronotum widening posteriorly, verj' coarsel}' and sparsely rugose 

 abov(>, less so on sides, the last transverse sulcus quite profound, situated 

 about the middle; median carina smooth, ])lunt, not greatly elevated; 

 hind margin acute, front margin angulate, with the apex deeply 

 notched. Tegmina and wings considerably surpassing the tip of abdo- 

 men; the wings yellowish (female) or ])lue (male) basally, more or less 

 fuliginous beyond. Hind femora only nioderatel}' robust, (juite rough 

 and provided with 5 or <i sjiort spines on outer edge of lower side, as 

 long as the abdomen; tlu> imier spines of tibiaj rather heavy.

 !♦); of pronotum, male, 7.25, female, 10.5; of tegmina, male, 2(),
