FAM. 1\IEMBRACID.E 243 



Proiiotum convex, bearing a pair of slender suprahumerals and a long, slender posterior process; 

 metopidium vertical, higher than broad; median carina percurrent; humeral angles large, heavy and 

 blunt; suprahumeral horns long, slender, very close together and projecting strongly forward and 

 upward, very Uttle outward, tip blunt or truncate; posterior process long, slender, sinuate, tectiform, 

 tricarinate, lying close to scutellum and impinging on tegmina, tip acuminate and reaching just about 

 to the tips of the tegmina; scutellum very narrowly exposed on eacli side, usually tomentose. Sides of 

 thorax generally strongly tomentose. Tegmina broad, hyaline; basal and costal areas coriaceous and 

 punctate; veins heavy; five apical and two discoidal cells; inner discoidal ceil petiolate, outer truncate 

 at base; tip rounded; apical limbus well developed. Legs simple; femora cylindrical; tibiae triquerate 

 and finely spined; hind tarsi longest.

Geogpaphical distribution : This genus seems to be limitedto the Australian Region.

240. GENUS GODINGELLA DISTANT 



Godingella Distant, Rhynch. Notes 3i (igi6). 



Characteps : This genus was erected to accommodate a single species which we have not seen 

 and which has not been recognized in the literature of the family since its original description. Distant 

 did not figure the species but his description is sufftcientlj' fuU and clear so that its recognition should 

 be a matter of no difficulty and we do not doubt the validity of the genus. We quote Distant's original 

 generic diagnosis as foUows : 



n Pronotum very strongly rugose and irregularh' carinate, strongly centrally carinate, the 

 lateral processes upwardly and outwardly directed, triquetrous, the margins strongly carinate and 

 the upper surface more or less centrally carinate, the carination of the outer margin is continued 

 along the outer margins of the posterior pronotal process, which is centrally moderately sinuate 

 and reaches or nearl)' reaches the tegminal apex; ocelli a little nearer to eacli other than to eyes; 

 face strongly centrally excavate before base of clypeus, eyes large and prominent; tegmin:i 

 elongate, about three times as long as broad, apical cells eiongate. 



)> AUied to Sarantus Stal, from which it is distinguished b\- the rugosely carinate pronotum 

 and the much more slender and straighter posterior process to sarne, the narrower tegmina and 

 their different venation. h. species insufficiently described b\' Kirkaldy from Queensland, and 

 which 1 have not seen, as Sarantus nobilis mav jiossibly also belong to Godingella, as maj- also the 

 species described by (ioding as Sertorius giganticus from South .Australia. » 



Type queenslandensis Distant. 



Geogpaphical distpibution : The single representative of this genus is from Queensland, as 

 the speciflc name would indicate.
