elevated over the base of the antcnnap, a few h^ngish pale 

 liairs. Antennae short, aljout twice the hreadth of the 

 vertex, l)asal two segments cup-shaped, slightly porrected on 

 one side. Dorsulum with a faint median carina. Tegmina 

 about twice as long as broad ; hind wings very small, about 

 one-fifth the length of the tegmina, partially bilobed, tlie 

 costal and anal margins chitinized. Genitalia, female with 

 anal segment about two-thirds the length of the abdomen, 

 dorsal valve scarcely longer than the ventral, bluntly 

 rounded, ventral valve black-pointed, angled ventrad, with 

 a bunch of strong spines in the angl • ; male with the 

 forceps about two-thirds the length of the anal valve, the

Length 23 mm.; length of tegmen 3 mm. 



Fiji, Cuvu, on Caloj)/tt//luni inophyllum, L. (W. Greenwood). 



The narrow white bands should distinguish this species 

 from L. stilp/turea, Crawf., the only otlier member of the 

 genus. 



Nesiope ornata, Kirk. 



Fiji, Cuvu, feeding on the underside of the leaves of 

 Heritiera idtoralis, Dry. (fF. Greenivood). 



1 have a considerable series of this species, and the varia- 

 tion in tlie colour on the notum is greater than that 

 indicated in the original description, which was drawn up 

 from one specimen. The white median line is by no means 

 distinctly marked and in many specimens is completely 

 obliterated. 



Einpsylla bilineuta, sp. n. (Fig. 2.) 



Apple-green, with two broad, parallel, silvery bands 

 narrowly bordered with very dark brown to purple, running 

 from the tips of the geual cones through the vertex and 

 thorax and couveiging in an oval spot on the postscutellun); 

 a semicircular patch between the [)Osterior ocelli and the 

 base of the antennae, l^ctween the silvery bands on the 

 dorsulum is a brownish patch, and on either side on 

 the mesonotum are vague brownisii aieas. Antennae with 

 the first two segments brown. 111. brown with black tip, 

 IV., v., \\. black with brown bases, remaining segments 

 black. 



Head as broad as the thorax; vertex rather flat in the
