The species is allied to D. pruinosa, but differs in size, colour, 
proportions, the branches of the radial vein, its termination in 
the apex, We. 
xenus PoLicHNe, Stdl. (Br. Mon. 22, 202). 
Front prominent, elongate. Eyes very oblong. Elytra linear, 
narrowed. Deflexed lobes of pronotum longer than wide, with 
the hind margin much rounded. Hind margin of meso- and 
meta-sternum truncate. Base of hind femora not dilated, wholly 
unarmed. 
The genus has the aspect of Zylopsis, an Old-World genus 
forming a monotypic group, on account of its long forehead, the 
long narrow lobes of the pronotum and narrow elytra, but its 
other characteristics place it among the EPHIPPITHYT&.

Howe’s Island (runner ). 
The species varies considerably in colour, viz., from bright- 
green to pale-testaceous, apparently due to its surroundings or 
the food taken, for among the green grass no pale specimens, nor 
among the dry later in season any green ones, appear to be 
taken. The dark-brown or purplish bordering of the pronotum 
is, however, constant. The individuals, although never numerous, 
are not rare in grassy scrublands and fields from January to 
March. There are some ten specimens in the collection at the 
Adelaide Museum, six of which are green, the others pale, both 
comprising both sexes. 
POLICHNE FERRUGINEA, Spéc. 70V. 
Size somewhat smaller than the preceding. Ferruginous. 
Face, pectus, and femora rather pale. Meso- and meta-notum 
testaceous. Elytra very narrow, rounded at apex, posterior 
radial vein forked at apex, both branches curved and terminatin
