22 Mr. W. L. Distant’s Rhynchotal Notes. 
tegmina subhyaline, wrinkled, the venation and extreme 
basal area ochraceous ; pronotum with the lateral processes 
long, directed forwardly and a little upwardly, triquetrous, 
their apices truncate, inwardly rounded and outwardly 
obsoletely subacute ; posterior process pane on tegmina 
and slightly passing the posterior angle of inner tegminal 
margin ; tibiz moderately dilated. 
Long., incl. tegm., 7 mm. ; exp. lat. pronot. process. 8mm. 
Hab. South Australia, 
This genus, hitherto known from the Ethiopian and 
Oriental regions, is now included in the Australasian region. 
The specimen was sent me many years ago with some other 
insects from the Goddefroy collection. It therefore probably 
came from Queensland, though only labelled “ Sud-Austral.” 
GODDEFROYINELLA. 
Allied-to Xiphistes, but differing in the more robust and 
regularly convex posterior pronotal process and the reticu- 
lated apical tegminal area. 
Goddefroyinella indicans, sp. 0. 
Pronotum piceous, shortly ochraceously pilose; face a 
little darker, shortly pilose, ocelli nearer eyes than to each 
other ; tegmina subhyaline, the venation piceous, basal area 
black and punctate ; pronotum centrally longitudinally 
carinate, the lateral processes robust, compressed, directed 
forwardly and slightly outwardly and upwardly, their apices 
truncate, their inner and outer areas with several longi- 
tudinal carinations, strongly triquetrous, posterior process 
robust, narrowing on apical area, tricarinate, somewhat con- 
vexly rounded, impinging on tegmina, its apex usually 
reaching tegminal apex, sometimes shorter ; tegmina with 
the apical area more or less reticulate, usually exhibiting 
four distinct transverse series of small cells, sometimes only 
three; legs dull testaceous, femora sometimes distinctly 
darker, tibize moderately dilated. 
Loug., incl. tegm., 6-63 mm. ; exp. lat. pronot. process. 
3-34 mm. 
Hab. Queensland ; Gayndah (Brit. Mus.). 
I have dedicated this genus to the memory of the old 
mercantile house, Goddefroy Bros., of Hamburg, who always 
instructed their employees who represented them abroad to 
collect for their museum at home. The type of the genus 
and species described above was sent me some forty years ago, 
and has remained undescribed to the present day.
