corjura thickly coarsely punctate ; other structural characters 

 as in generic diagnosis. 



Lonsc. 14-17 mm. 



Hab. Queensland (F. P. Dodd, Brit. Mus.). 



Mygoodano, gen, nov. 



Head subtriangular, about as long as breadth of head at 

 base including eyes, obliquely deflected, the central lobe 

 slightly projecting beyond the lateral lobes, lateral margins 

 distinctly sinuate ; antennje five-jointed, basal joint not 

 reaching apex of head, second and third each longer than 

 first and subequal in length, each shorter than either fourth 

 or fifth, which are also subequal in length; pronotura 

 strongly obliquely declivous, basal margin concavely sinuate, 

 lateral angles strongly spinousU'' produced, posterior angles 

 a little roundly prominent, lateral margins almost obliquely 

 straight ; scutellura longer than broad at base, its apex not 

 ang-ulate but rounded, the apical area distinctly narro^ved ; 

 corium about as long as head and pronotum together; mem- 

 brane distinct])' passing the abdominal apex ; sternal process 

 reaching the bucculae, but not deflected to head ; rostrum 

 slightly passing the intermediate coxse, first joint not reaching 

 base of head, second extending to anterior coxse, third 

 reaching to about midway between the anterior and inter- 

 mediate coxae ; apical angles of the sixth abdominal segment 

 strongly longly produced. 



Allied to Hoffmansef/giel/a, Stal, but differing by the much 

 more attenuate and apically rounded scutellura ; central 

 lobe of head slightly projecting beyond the lateral lobes. 



Mygoodayio virescens, sp. n. 



Bright, shining, olivaceous green ; apical area of head 

 pale ochraceous ; antennae brownish ochraceous, the basal 

 joint paler, apical area of third and the whole of the fourth 

 and fifth joints more or less infuscate, apices of the pronotal 

 lateral angles black ; body beneath and legs pale virescent, 

 inclining to ocl raceous in faded specimens ; rostrum, apical 

 area o£ sternal process beneath, and the tarsi brownish 

 ochraceous, tarsal claws and apex of rostrum black ; apical 

 spines to abdomen above and beneath reddish ochraceous, 

 with their inner margins and apices black ; head finely 

 transversely wrinkled ; pronotum coarsely punctate, more 

 finely punctate on basal and anterior areas, the lateral mar- 

 gins levigate, the lateral angles strongly spinously produced,
