carinate and the upper surface more or less centrally carinate, 
the carination of the outer margin is continued along the 
outer margins of the posterior pronotal proeess, which is 
centrally moderately sinuate and reaches or nearly reaches 
the tegminal apex; ocelli a little nearer to each other than 
to eyes; face strongly centrally excavate before base of 
clypeus, eyes large and prominent ; tegmina elongate, about 
three times as long as broad, apical cells elongate. 
Allied to Sarantus, Stal, from which it is distinguished 
by the rugosely carinate pronotum and the much more 
slender and straighter posterior process to same, the narrower 
tegmina and their different venation. A species insuffi- 
ciently described by Kirkaldy from Queensland, and which 
I have not seen, as Sarantus nobilis may possibly also belong 
to Godingella, as may also the species described by Goding as 
Sertorius giganticus from South Australia. 
I have named this genus after Dr. F. W. Goding, our 
distinguished pioneer in the study and description of the 
Australian Membracidee. 
Godingella queenslandensis, sp. n. 
Pronotum piceous, above slightly or moderately ochra- 
ceously pilose, its anterior margin before face and the face 
itself strongly, longly, ochraceously pilose ; eyes ochraceous ; 
legs castaneous, greyishly pilose ; sternum thickly greyishly 
tomentose ; tegmina pale bronzy in hue, the venation, base, 
and about apical third purplish brown; pronotum strongly 
rugose and carinate, the lateral processes triquetrous, their 
margins carinate, upwardly and a little outwardly directed, 
their apices narrowed and recurved, their upper surface 
distinctly centrally carmate, posterior process strongly tri- 
carinate and almost reaching the tegminal apex ; scutellum 
with a pale ochraceous spot at each basal angle. 
Long., incl. tegm., 9-10 mm.; exp. lat. pronot. process.
