372 A CATALOGUE OF THE HEMIPTERA OF FIJI, 



expediency or correctness of this, and have termed the parts pro- 

 notum and mesonotum. 



73. Ploia.riodes calamine, sp.nov. 



Ochraceous or ferruginous-yellow, a submedian stripe down 

 each side of hind lobe of pronotum, these uniting apically and 

 basally. Eyes and apical half of abdomen, etc., black. Two 

 contiguous, opaque, white lines on pleural part of pronotum pos- 

 teriorly; anterior lobe of head sometimes fuscous. Antenna? 

 pallid ochraceous, middle part of first antennal segment fulvous 

 or fuscous, a dark fuscous ring near apex; second segment more 

 or less fulvous or fuscous, partly. Tegmina yellowish-testaceous 

 with greyish-fuscous or yellow picturation. Fore femora and 

 tibia? testaceous, with two or three more or less well denned pale 

 fuscous rings. Middle and hind femora testaceous, with a 

 blackish ring near apex, and one or two narrow fuscous rings 

 about middle. Hind lobe of head swollen, laterally rounded and 

 narrowed behind the prominent eyes, impressed ovally longitu- 

 dinally. First segment of antenna? longer than second. Hind 

 lobe of pronotum about one-half longer than the anterior. 

 Scutellum with two strong, erect spines. Length 6 mill. 



Rewa (March- April; Muir's No. 11 9). 



This seems allied to P. vagabundus (Linn.). 



74. P. EURYALE, Sp.nOV. 



This is very closely allied to P. rubromaculatus Blackburn, but 

 there are two well marked pale submedian lines, one on each 

 side, which are subparallel, or a trifle divergent posteriorly, while 

 these are not well defined, and are if anything convergent pos- 

 teriorly in P. rubromaculatus. Also the eyes are more prominent 

 in P. euryale, extending laterally distinctly beyond the apical 

 margin of the hind lobe of the pronotum; while they are perhaps 

 a little less prominent laterally than the apical margin of the 

 hind lobe in the Hawaiian species. Length: £ 4; Q 4 J mill. 



Rewa (April, November and December; Muir). 



The nymphs differ appreciably from those of the Hawaiian 

 species, only by the larger eyes.
