Mr. W. L. Distant on ne\o Clcadiclse. 293 



This species was erroneously identified by Walker as Vun- 

 duhia spinosa, Fabr. (the type of which is contained in the 

 Banksian collection), and remains under that name in the 

 National Collection. The habitat is derived from one of 

 those specimens, my own being without a locality. 



Cosmopsaltria umhrata, n. sp. 



^. Head and thorax above obscure olivaceous. Head 

 with the lateral margins to front, the area of the ocelli, and 

 some irregular spots on each lateral area of the vertex black ; 

 eyes ochraceous. Pronotum with two irregular central black 

 fasciffi, ampliated at base and apex, and two at each lateral 

 margin, the posterior margin with its edge narrowly black and 

 a black spot near lateral angles. Mesonotum with two central 

 blackish obconical spots, between which a narrow black fascia 

 extends to base, and a black spot in front of each anterior 

 angle of thebasal cruciform elevation. Abdomen above largely 

 suffused with dull black shadings. Body beneath olivaceous ; 

 a central fascia to face, anterior margin between face and 

 eyes, inner margins and apices of femora, and the tibiae more 

 or less blackish. Opercula olivaceous, their apices and a spot 

 near base blackish. Abdomen beneath olivaceous, largely

 the second, third, fifth, and seventh apical areas and the apices 

 of the longitudinal veins of apical areas infuscated. 



The rostrum has the apex pitchy and just passing the pos- 

 terior coxas ; the opercula are somewhat narrowed, con- 

 cavely sinuated on each side near base, and narrowed towards 

 apices, which are obtusely angulated and reach the fourth 

 abdominal segment.
