Legs uniformly greenish white, except the apices of the 

 tarsi which are blackish. Ventral surface, except at the 

 apex, pale fulvous-testaceous, perhaps discoloured. 



The colour of the legs when the insect was alive was 

 probably of a bright, delicate green, which has doubtless 

 faded, as does the green of Strongylogaster delicatulus 

 Fall., with age. 



SUNOXA, gen. nov. 



Head scarcely developed behind the eyes, the front 

 and vertex forming one piece without a suture ; the frontal 

 area obsolete. Mesonotum trilobate. Legs stout ; the 

 hinder coxse large ; the basal joint of the hinder tibise 

 dilated, hollowed on the outer side ; about two-thirds of 

 the length of the hinder tibise and twice the length of the 

 other joints united ; the second as long as the third and 

 fourth united, stout ; the last as long as the preceding two 

 united; the patellae obsolete; the claws with two unequal 

 teeth. The basal nervure is united to the cubital; there 

 are two cubital cellules in the hind wings. 



Belongs to the Selandriades and comes near to Siobla 

 and Strongylogaster with which it agrees in the alar neura- 

 tion, but differs markedly in the head not being developed 

 behind the eyes and in the great length and size of the 

 metatarsus, which is longer in proportion to the other 

 joints than in any genus known to me. Unfortunately 

 the antennae are broken off.

 apice tibiaruni tarsisgue posticis nigris ; alts fusco-violaceis.
