moderately compressed, posterior process concave for about 
half its length from base and thence convex to apex, which 
nearly reaches the tegminal apex ; ocelli almost as near to 
eyes as to each other.

Hab. Queensland (Ff. P. Dodd). 
In this genus the late Mr. Kirkaldy (Rep, Haw. Plant. 
Assoc. 1907, pp. 90-91) has described three species (two 
from Queensland), which, however, have certainly nothing 
to do with the two here described. As, however, Kirkaldy 
stated that he could not “ draw any dividing line”’ between 
the genera Centrotypus, Sertorius, and Acunthusus, he may 
have probably made wrong generic determinations. 
SPALIRISES, gen. nov. 
Pronotum distinctly centrally carinate, the lateral pro- 
cesses robust, transverse, their apices more or less recurved, 
posterior process angularly elevated at base, then concavely 
depressed to beyond scutellum, after which it is convexly 
curved and impinges on tegminal margins, its apex recurved 
and distinctly passing posterior angle of imner tegminal 
margin, the apex subacute; face globose, with two central 
obscure tuberculous ridges; legs simple; tegmina about 
twice as long as broad, with four apical and two discoidal 
cells.

CENTROTUSOIDES, gen. nov. 
Pronotum strongly centrally carinate, frontally obliquely 
declivous, the lateral processes robust, obliquely upwardly 
directed, their apices obtusely pointed or subtruncate, their 
margins carinate, and above with a posterior submarginal 
carination, posterior process moderately compressed, strongly 
tricarinate, a little raised above scutellum, above which it is 
broadest and a little convexly arched, and beyond clavus 
depressed and narrowed, its apex subacute and just passing
