TAENIOMENA soROR, Brunner (Br. Mon., 204). 
Bright-green ; similarly marked, but larger than the preceding. 
Deflexed lobes of pronotum much higher behind the middle. 
Elytra in both sexes much longer than hind femora, without the 
border of dark dots along the radial white line. Fore femora 
distinctly spined (3-5). Subgenital lamina very elongate, hind 
margin cleft. Ovipositor not much curved, very flat, very 
slightly narrowed, toward apex serrulate-dentate, brown, the 
remainder pale- to dark-green.

Habitat.—Mount Lofty Range, near Adelaide (two females

The species is readily recognizable by the sub-triangular form 
of the deflexed lobes of the pronotum (which are much wider 
than in 7. albosignata), and the elytra extending considerably 
beyond the hind femora. Both are distinguished from all other 
descrihed species by the long slightly-curved ovipositor. The 
leaves of Bursaria spinosa appear to supply the food of 7. soror, 
all the specimens were found on those bushes. . 
One of the males placed in this species has the anterior vein 
furnished with three distinct branches, and the subgenital lamina 
deeply cleft, although otherwise resembling the other. In the 
absence of more material it was not thought advisable to form 
another species. 
TAENIOMENA SOROROIDES, spec. nov. 
Pale - green to testaceous, marked with ivory stripes like 
T. albosignata, the stripe of the pronotum extending triangularly 
over the head to the vertex of the fastigium, and those of the 
marginal and radial areas (along the posterior border) are marked 
more or less distinctly by irregular, minute, black or dusky dots. 
Deflexed lobes of pronotum narrow, oblique, as high or higher 
than long, and highest at or slightly beyond the middle, lower 
margin sub-semicircularly rounded. Elytra narrowed from near 
the base. Plicate vein of the tympanal area of male prominent 
and oblique on left elytron. Subgenital lamina with base of 
emargination cleft, apices incurved. Ovipositor shorter and 
more incurved than in 7’. soror, finely and closely dentate at 
and near apex.
