Heteroptera from North Queensland. 273 



of corium behind claval apex ; cuneus considerably longer 

 than broad, its apex acute; membrane with a single elongate 

 basal cell ; legs of moderate length, femora very slightly 

 thickened. 



I place this genus near Afalalasfa, Dist., Malacopeplus, 

 Kirk., and Gruianerius* Dist., which will probably assist to 

 constitute a distinct division of the subfam. Capsinse. 



Estuidus foveatus, sp. n. 



Ochraceous ; scutellum stramineous; antennae, eyes, clavus 

 (excluding base), a large subrotundate spot on posterior 

 disk of corium, membrane, upper surfaces of femora and 

 anterior tibiae, the intermediate and posterior tibiae, and the 

 tarsi black ; extreme base of first joint of antennse ochraceous, 

 third and fourth joints fuscous ; legs finely setose ; body 

 above finely pilose, clavus and corium distinctly and some- 

 what coarsely punctate, cuneus pale with the margins and 

 apex slightly fuscous; pronotal discal foveation broad and 

 profound ; scutellum glabrous, its basal sulcation linear but 

 situate in a distinct foveation. 



Var. Clavus wholly black. 



Long. 7 mm. 



Estuidus marginatus, sp. n. 



Very pale ochraceous or stramineous; eyes, scutellum, 

 clavus, inner area of corium, membrane, and first and second 

 joints of antennas black or piceous ; third and fourth joints 

 and extreme base of first joint of antennae ochraceous ; body 

 above shining, membrane opaque with its margins hyaline ; 

 pronotal discal foveation less pronounced than in the pre- 

 ceding species; clavus and inner area of corium very finely 

 and somewhat obscurely punctate; legs finely and obscurely 

 setose. 



Long. 7^ mm. 



Division Capsaria. 

 Lygus flavoscutellatus, sp. n. 



Dark shining ochraceous, body beneath much paler; scu- 

 tellum and cuneus straniineus, the last with a small dark 

 apical spot ; eyes and apices of the tarsi piceous ; antennae 

 with the third and fourth joints and the apex of the second 

 joint fuscous, first joint a little shorter than head, second sub-
