 N. astcliae sp. nov. PI. V, fig. 1.'}. 



^ Brachypterous, tegmen not reaching to the base of the pygo- 

 phor; antennae reaching to the middle of clypeus, first segment more 

 than half the length of second; furcation of frontal carina about one- 

 third from base. 



Pale yellow, fuscous between carinae of face and clypeus, over 

 lateral portion of abdominal tergites and on hind femora. Tegmina 

 hyaline, fuscous over the middle half. There is considerable varia- 

 tion of color in this species, the abdomen in some specimens being 

 nearly all fuscous and the thorax between carinae, especially of the 

 mesothorax, being fuscous; the tegmina also are nearly black in some 

 and in others the dark marking is confined to a mark at apex of 

 clavus and another at apex of costal cell. 



Pygophor about as broad as deep, ventro-lateral edges produced in 

 rounded processes, medio-ventral area bearing a small, blunt spine: 

 anal segment bearing two large, flattened spines slightly sinuous and 

 diverging; genital styles small, slightly curved and slightly narrowed 

 at truncate apex. Aedeagus figured. 



Length 3.2 mm.; tegmen 1.8 mm. 



5 Lighter in color, some specimens being almost immaculate; 

 but there is a similar degree of variation as in the male. 



Length 3.2 mm.; tegmen 2 mm. 



Hal). Oalm, Mt. Kaala (Timberlake, July, 1916), 

 4,000 feet elevation ; a series of males, females and nymphs 

 off Astelia veratroides Gand. This species is very distinct. T 

 consider that it comes next to 1^ . sharpi Mnir. 



N. sola sp. nov. PI. V, figs. 11, 11a. 



(5 Brachypterous, tegmina not quite reaching base of pygophor; 

 antennae reaching to middle of clypeus, first segment more than half 

 the length of second; furcation of frontal carina about middle, the 

 two carinae on basal half being near together and appearing as a sin- 

 gle thick carina. 



Castaneous, fuscous over lateral portions of abdominal tergites. 

 Tegmina light castaneous, a small fuscous mark at apex of costal 

 cell and another at apex of clavus. 



Pygophor deeper than wide, medio-ventral edge produced into a 

 point, medio-lateral edges roundly excavate; anal segment prolonged 

 on ventral edge where it is sublabiate, no anal spines; styles very 

 small, slightly curved, apices subacute; aedeagus large, long, tubular, 

 slightly curved, ventral edge of apex produced into two spines, the 

 left larger than the right, dorsal part of apex flattened vertically, a 

 few small spines near apex on ventral side and a couple on right 

 side. 



Length 3.2 mm.; tegmen 2.2 mm. 

 5 Unknown.
