PlataspinfB, Tliyreocoriiia3, and Cydainaj. 223 



Geotomus suhglaber, 

 JEtlms suhglaber, Walk. Cat. Het. i. p. 150. n. 17 (1867). 

 As this species is not included in Uhler's Check-list of 

 described Hemiptera-Heteroptera of North America, pub- 

 lished in 1886, some other named form is probably con- 

 specific with it. In the absence of material for comparison, 

 the synonymic question mast be passed by, at least for the 

 present. 



Genus Hiverus. 



Hiverus ochraceus, sp. n. 



Brownish ochraceous; membrane creamy hyaline. Antennae 

 with the first and second joints ochraceous, remaining joints 

 pale piceous. 



Broad, ovate; pronotum and scutellum sparingly punctate, 

 cerium more thickly punctate ; scutellum broad, its apex 

 broadly and subacutely rounded. 



Long. 4^ to 5 millim. 



Hah. Tasmania ; Hobart. (Three carded specimens — 

 British Museum.) 



Differing from //. ceneus, Sign., the only specimen de- 

 scribed from Australia, by its smaller size, different colour, 

 and by the rounded and non-acuminate apex of the scutellum. 



Genus ChilocoRIS. 



Chilocoris semialbidus. 

 u^t/ms semialbidus, Walk. Oat. Het. i. p. 160. n. 74 (1867). 



Drupadia, gen. nov. 



Allied to Chilocoris, Mayr, but differing by the scutellum, 

 which is broader, less angulated posteriorly, its apex broader 

 and subacutely angulated. Corium a little shorter than the 

 membrane. The body is also relatively shorter and broader. 



Drupadia typica, sp. n. 



Head, pronotum, scutellum, and body beneath dark choco- 

 late-brown. Corium very pale stramineous, with scattered 

 coarse darker punctures, and with a curved chocolate linear 

 streak on disk ; membrane pale greyish hyaline ; antenna?
