Genus TAENIOMENA, Lrunner (ibid). 
Synonym, Zinzeda, part, Walker (Brit. Mus. Cat.) 
Hind femora unarmed below. Deflexed lobes of pronotum 
longer than wide, lower margin nearly straight. Ovipositor dis- 
tinctly serrulate. 
Besides these, the principal distinctions are the narrow pointed 
elytra, with white stripes; the long slender legs, and the long 
attenuated ovipositor. 
TAENIOMENA ALBOSIGNATA, Srunner (ibid, 204, tig. 60). 
(Tinzeda eburnina, pars. ?, Walker). 
Yellowish-green. Face whitish; a bright-white line in the 
middle of the pronotum, along the lower margin of the deflexed 
lobes, along the costal margin of the elytra, the interior side of 
the radial vein, and at the base of the tympanal area of the left 
elytron; the costal margin and the radial vein being also narrowly 
marked with a ferruginous border, and the base of the post- 
ulnar vein with a blackish streak. Defiexed lobes of pronotum 
much longer than high, hind angle rounded. Elytra very narrow. 
much acuminate, not extending beyond the ovipositor of female, 
but much longer in male. Radial veins distant at base and apex, 
contiguous intermediately. First radial branch not forked, 
following one or two simple. Anterior-ulnar vein straight, 
parallel with radial, long. Tympanal area of male with a stout 
plicate vein, which is much raised in left elytron, and joined to 
a semicircular continuation posteriorly. Wings slightly- longer 
than elytra. Fore femora below unarmed, or with a few minute 
black spines. Subgenital lamina of male narrow, hindmargin 
roundly emarginate. Ovipositor long and broad, gradually 
acuminate, finely serrated towards apex for the third part of its 
length.

Habitat.—Tintinarra, 8.E. (January 7, 1887, Tepper), Lucin- 
dale (December 24, 1891, Z. Campbell), Adelaide, South Aus- 
tralia; Sydney, New South Wales; Port Denison, Queensland 
(Brunner ). 
This species is at once recognisable by the elytra of the female 
scarcely exceeding the ovipositor, and the roundly emarginate sub- 
genital lamina. There are two females and one male in the 
‘Adelaide Museum. The ova are elongate-oval and almost flat, 
being 4 mm. long, 2 mm. wide, and brownish-grey.
