TiBiCEN GREGORYi, 11. sp. (Plate VII. figs. 7, 7a, 7b.) 



cJ . Body above pale ochraceous. Head with the ocelli reddish, 

 the eyes tinged with fuscous, mesonotum with two very obscure 

 central obconical spots, a central discal longitudinal and two sub- 

 lateral fasciae. Abdomen somewhat thickly covered with greyish 

 pilosity. Body beneath and legs pale ochraceous, excepting the 

 abdomen, which is pale fuscous. Tegmina and wings pale hyaline ; 

 tegmina with the venation ochraceous, excepting apical longitudinal 

 veins and apical margins of apical areas, which are pale fuscous ; 

 transverse veins at bases of second and third apical areas broadly 

 infuscated. 



The head is broad, and, including eyes, as wide as pronotum, ot 

 which the anterior and posterior width is subequal. The face is 

 large, elongate, and very convex, with faint transverse striations. 

 The rostrum reaches the posterior coxae. The opercula are small, 

 broad, and rounded posteriorly, and about reach the posterior edge 

 of metasternum. 



Long. 10 millim.; exp. tegm. 34 milhm. 



Hab. Australia, Peak Downs. (Mus. Godeffroy.) 



This species is allied to the preceding (T. muelleri, Dist.), from 

 which it differs in the broader and less anteriorly produced head, 

 the shape of the pronotum, and in the different' markings of the 

 abdomen, tegmina, &c.

 ceous ; head black, with the face ochraceous, of which the transverse 

 stri^_ are castaneous. Tegmina and wings pale hyaline, with the

The body is sparingly pilose above; the anterior femora are armed 

 with three strong spines ; the rostrum just passes the intermediate 

 coxse ; the face is narrowly but deeply sulcated lougitudinally, and

 6 ■ Body above ochraceous. Head with a transverse black fascia 

 between the eyes, partly surrounding ocelli. Pronotum with the 

 frontal portion of the interior edge of lateral margins narrowly 

 black, and the anterior edge of posterior margin broadly of
