very obscurely toothed before apex, tibiae shorter than the 

 femora aud more or less longitudinally sulcate ; tarsi two- 

 jointed. 



This genus of Halyaria is allied to Paraleria, Reut,, by 

 the aberrant character of the two-jointed tarsi, but it is 

 at once separated from it by the non-crenulated lateral 

 pronotal margins and the entirely different structure of the 

 same.

Ochraceous -with black markings ; membrane dull greyish, 

 the reticulate venation black ; anteunre with the first and 

 second joints ochraceous, the thiid black, with the apex

 streaks at the region of the ocelli, and sometimes the basal 

 margins of the central lobe, black ; pronotum with four 

 variable, more or less broken, oblique black fasciate 

 markings ; scutellum with the basal angles, two central 

 basal and tMO central lateral marginal linear spots black ; 

 corium with vai'iable and indeterminate black markings ;

 sublateral margins of sternum, central disk of mesosternura, 

 linear spots to extreme lateral margins of abdomen, spiracles, 

 an incised line behind them, margins of the abdominal seg- 

 ments, and a large spot on apical segment black ; rostrum 

 castaneous brown ; head, pronotum, scutellum, and corium

Kapunda, gen. nov. 



Head about as long as broad at base, the lobes subequal 

 in length, the central lobe above a little prominent, the 

 lateral margins slightly straightly oblique, the apex broadly 

 rounded ; antennse with the tirst, second, and third joints 

 almost subequal in length, first a little shortest ; pronotum 

 twice as broad at base as long, moderately depressed ante- 

 riorly and laterally, the lateral margins convex and mode- 

 rately laminately reflexed, anterior and posterior margins 

 truncate, anterior angles truncate behind eyes, lateral angles 

 rounded, not prominent ; scutellum longer than pronotum, 

 broad, narrowed but not attenuated to apex, which is 

 rounded ; corium about as long as scutellum, but its apex
