first radial branch forked before the middle, second and third 
simple; ulnar vein much branched, forked at its termination, 
reaching hindmargin one-third from apex; primary transverse 
veinlets net-like branched. Tympanal area simple, without trans- 
verse, raised veins, a small brown spot at the base opposite to 
another near hind angle of disk of pronotum and a third at the 
termination of the plicate vein. Anterior tibize near foramina 
and at the base, also the ulterior lobes of anterior tarsi, fuscous. 
Ovipositor short, broadly lanceolate, acute, hirsute (as well as 
cerci, which it scarcely exceeds), disk shining, margins most 
minutely serrate at and near apex. Subgenital lamina very 
short, sub-triangular.

Habitat.—Murray Bridge, South Australia, where the female 
was captured by Mr. C. Poare during the early part of April, 
1891. The insect appears to be rare. 
Notwithstanding the discrepancy of the smaller size of the 
female, which may be due to dwarfing or locality, and other 
differences, hesitation to form a new species seems to be justified 
in this case, until more material comes to hand. 
Genus Dicryota, Brunner (Br. Mon, 22, 199). 
Pectus compressed.  Meso- and meta-sternal lobes longer than 
broad. Detiexed lobes of pronotum highest beyond the middle, 
inferior margin emarginate over the coxe. Hlytra with the 
transverse veinlets in close parallel lines in the marginal area. 
Base of hind femora very slender. 
Besides the above synoptical characters the genus is distin- 
guished by the short vertex, the high ridges surrounding the 
antenne, which exceed the frontal vertex considerably, and the 
sharply angular pronotum. 
The exceptional character of free styles in connection with the 
subgenital lamina connects this genus with several other groups 
notably the HurypaLp& (monotypic) from Borneo, Sumatra, &c. 
Dicryota viripissima, Brunner (Br. Mon., 199). 
Bright-green and whitish. Pronotum with rough, transverse, 
lateral ridges very minute or absent. Elytra in the middle about 
one and a-half times as wide as the length of the pronotum ; 
transverse veinlets in the marginal area rather remote, radial 
branch forked in the middle. Size small.
