six transverse veins, the first and second are somewhat close 

 together before n.i Idle, the third and fourth similarly placed 

 beyond middle, the fifth and sixth wide apart between the 

 latter pair and apex, sometimes tliere is an additional trans- 

 verse vein between the first pair and the base. 



Long., excl. tegm., 7 mm. ; exp. tegra. 23 to 24 mm. 



Hab. New Britain. 



A few specimens of this species were sent to me some 

 thirty years ago by the recently deceased Dr. Schmeltz, at 

 that time custodian of the then GodefFroy Museum at Hamburg. 

 I could not then identify it, but the figures of the described 

 species given by Dr. Melichar in his monograph of the 

 subfamily now enable me to do so. I have placed a cotype 

 in the British Museum. 



T. hoadicea is allied to T. glaucescens , Melich., by the 

 venation of the corium, but differs by that of the clavus, 

 which more resembles that of T. curtula, Melich. 



Apachnas, gen. nov. 



Vertex short, broadly transverse, the eyes considerably 

 extending over the lateral margins of the pronotum ; face 

 about as long as broad, the posterior lateral margins obliquely 

 directed to clypeus, tricarinate, the central carination straight, 

 the lateral carinations moderately oblique ; clypeus finely 

 medially carinate; pronotum broader than vertex, centrally 

 carinate; mesonotum tricarinate, the lateral carinations ante- 

 riorly curved inwardly and outwardly doubly attached to the 

 anterior margin, by a longitudinal carinate line from near 

 middle and by a shorter line near anterior margin ; posterior 

 tibiae with two strong spines on apical area ; tegraina and 

 ■wings hyaline ; tegmina with the costal and apical margins 

 subequal in length, each much longer than the inner margin 

 and with the costal membrane a little narrower than the 

 radial area, with five transverse veins close together at base 

 and three (wide apart) between these and stigma, which con- 

 tains about seven oblique transverse veins ; basal cell emitting 

 three longitudinal veins from its outer margin, which are 

 connected by transverse veins at about one-fourth from base, 

 a second series of transverse veins and a subapical series of 

 transverse veins, together enclosing four series of cells, there 

 is also a continuous series of subinarginal transverse veins, 

 defining a narrow marginal area, clavus with the claval vein 

 connected with the inner and posterior margins by two short 

 oblique veins at a little before middle, followed by about four 

 transverse veins somewhat wide apart. 



Allied to Tarundia and Hajar.
