Antestia cederwaldi n. sp. 
Above green with the corium glaucous, beneath pale flavous tinged 
with orange and with a broad sublateral green vitta extending from 
the anterior margin of the propleura to the apex of the abdomen. 
Head above with the basal margin, an intraocular oblong spot conflu- 
ent with the base, two median vitte and a broad jugal vitta black. 
The whole margin of the pronotum, base of exocorium, epipleura, and 
an elongate smooth callous vitta in the exterior submedian part of the 
mesocorium orange; a line running from the apical margin of the pro- 
notum to near the apex of the scutellum, the suture of the endocorium. 
and a line at the outer margin of the mesocorial callous vitta whitish. 
Tergum of abdomen black, connexivum orange, each segment with a 
basal subtriangular blackish spot which does not touch the outer mar- 
gin, last ventral segment with a median piceous spot of variable size. 
Head as long as the pronotum in the middle and distinctly broader 
than long, finely and rather sparingly punctured above, smooth beneath; 
juga transversely wrinkled, anterior ocular orbita smooth and elevated, 
prolonged obliquely inward and backward in the shape of a short ridge; 
rostrum green, apical joint piceous; antenne green, second joint a little 
longer than third, fourth joint light brown, almost twice longer than 
third (fifth joint wanting). 
Pronotum almost three times broader than its length in the middle, 
rather thickly punctured with pale fuscous, the whole apical margin 
and the straight antero-lateral margins smooth, callously elevated, lat- 
eral angles rounded, not prominent. Scutellum punctured as the pro- 
notum. Pleurze irregularly punctured with very pale fuscous, anterior 
margin of propleure elevated, evaporative area of metapleura extended 
over the posterior half of mesopleura. Corium more strongly and 
darkly punctured than pronotum and scutellum, the callous vitta of the 
mesocorium posteriorly obliquely continued to the interior apical angle 
(membrane mutilated). Wings slightly infuscated, iridescent. 
Abdomen beneath remotely and very finely punctulate, more distinctly 
punctured towards the sides, last ventral segment (2) in the middle 
a little longer than the preceding segment. 
Legs green. Length, 2. 7.8—8 mm. 
New South Wales (Richmond River, C. Cederwald). 
Very distinct from the two described Australian species of 
the genus. Dedicated to the memory of my dear friend, Carl 
Cederwald, from Stockholm, who many years ago collected in- 
sects for me in New South Wales, and who fell as a volunteer 
in the Boer War.
