branch (in one instance) crosses the anterior-vulnar vein. The 
only specimen in the Adelaide Museum was taken by Mr. R. 
Helms, collector to the Elder Exploring Expedition, in Novem- 
ber, 1891. 
TAENIOMENA MINOR, spec. nov. 
Grass-green, face paler. White lines along radial vein and the 
base of tympanal area wholly obsolete. Disk of pronotum some- 
what concave, middle white line continued to vertex of fastigium. 
Defiexed lobes longer than high, wider behind, inferior margin 
nearly straight, with narrow white border. Elytra brownish at 
apex, medial-plicate vein of tympanal area strongly raised, almost 
transverse; shoulder-vein very marked; hindmargin of area 
sharply curved, brownish. Fore and middle femora and tibie 
almost unarmed ; hind femora entirely so. Cerci of male incurved, 
subgenital lamina rather widely cleft, tips incurved. Ovipositor 
widest at base, gradually acuminate, much curved, near apex 
finely dentately serrate.

Habitat.—Callington, South Australia (Tepper), feeding on 
Acacia calamifolia, November 25, 1887, and apparently limited 
to sandy scrublands. 
This species differs from others by the total absence of the 
white line along the posterior radial vein, its slender form of 
body, and several other characters. 
Genus EnepHanropeta, Brunner (Br. Mon., 22, 206). 
(Tinzeda, pars., Walker). 
Hind femora spined below. Deflexed lobes of pronotum 
equally high and long, lower margin rounded. Ovipositor 
broadest in the middle, the margins very minutely serrated. 
Wholly restricted to Australia. 
The genus resembles Dicryora, on account of the whitish dust 
covering the forepart, and TAENIOMENA, in the corneous bordering 
of the base of the elytra, also in the absence of the apical spine 
of the fore tibie (which is usually the last to disappear); but 
differs in the characters indicated above. The generic name refers 
to the ivory-like border of the elytra.

Size large. Head and pronotum yellowish-green, frontal margin 
from the base bordered bright ferruginous, blackish-inclined at
