in the middle, two small spots below the same, a short stripe 
on either side, the base of the antennz, and the cheeks pale 
yellowish. Eyes prominent, globose, dark brown. Pronotum, 
fore and middle femora and tibie, also the hind femora near the 
base blackish above, with very numerous pale round dots ; 
exterior of hind femora with two black lines contiguous with 
black bars beyond; knee-joints black, also both extremities of 
hind tibie and an intermediary band. Abdominal segments 
partly blackish banded. LElytra sub-pellucid, veins ochraceous, 
reticulating veinlets mostly whitish, except within some black 
spots along the radial and ulnar veins, of which there are 
about 12-14. Wings dusky.

Habitat.—Roebuck Bay, Western Meretealin (Messrs. A. E. 
Krapton and Tepper, jun.). A single specimen was captured in 
November, 1891. 
Genus ALEctToriA, Brunner (female), (Mon. Add. 10, 95; fig. 15). 
(Synonym, /ectoria, Tepper (male) (Trans. Roy. 8. A., vol. XI.) 
Pronotum deeply constricted before the middle and crested 
behind. Crest with short tumid base, hollow, open below where 
projecting beyond the base, laterally with five diverging curved 
veins ending in the inferior hindmargin; anterior margin of 
pronotum with a smaller spine and a larger on each side behind 
the anterior constriction in the male. Elytra rugulose, first 
radial branch emitted much behind the middle, simple. Sub- 
genital lamina of male deeply and roundly emarginate. Ovipositor 
short, not longer than cerci. 
Brunner’s description of the genus is taken from the female, 
alone, mine (Joc. cit.) from the male, the latter supplementing 
the former in various details. In Brunner’s figure the crest is 
represented with subparallel concentric lines of veins, while in 
my specimens they appear as described above, the eyes are 
also much larger than shown by the figure. Further, the fastig- 
ium of the vertex is declining and not at all prominent. The 
antennz have the tips black, and five very narrow blackish rings 
at equal distances, the last about the middle, from thence to the 
base they are absent and the colour uniformly pale-green. The 
elytra have the margins almost parallel, narrowing very slightly 
to the obliquely truncate apex, nut suddenly narrowed beyond 
the middle. The tympanal area of the elytra of the male is 
ample in both, the transverse plicate vein in the ieft elytron is,
