more or less fuscous. Tegmina cinereo-testaceous basally; 

 apically and the cuneus fuscate. Legs piceous; apex of fore and 

 middle femora, fore and middle tibiae and tarsi, hind tarsi, etc., 

 testaceous. Head about as long as wide between the eyes, which 

 are not nearly contiguous with pronotum. Ocelli near eves. 

 Antennae distinctly longer than head and pronotum together, 

 second segment distinctly longer than width of head, first segment 

 extending about as far as apex of head, second segment twice 

 and one-half as long as first, nearly one-half longer than third, 

 which is a trifle shorter than fourth. Labium reaching fore 

 coxae, second segment a little longer than third. Pronotum much 

 wider posteriorly than in front; lateral margins subsinuate; sub- 

 sulcate down middle but not reaching the medially emarginate 

 hind margin. Tegmina shortly pilose. Fore femora with four 

 or more short bristles underneath. Length, £ 2|-3 mill. 



Viti Levu (November; Muir's No.28), Rewa (December; Muir), 

 common on Saccharum officinarum, doubtless preying on Aphidae.

Nesocrypha, gen.nov. 



Differs from Isometopus Fieber, by the scutellum not nearly 

 reaching the membrane. Ovate, lightly punctured. Vertex 

 transverse, narrower than pronotum anteriorly, narrower than 

 an eye. Clypeus somewhat swollen. [Antennae destroyed.] 

 Labium extending about as far as hind coxae(?). Pronotum 

 transverse, wider behind than in front, anteriorly emarginate in 

 middle, posteriorly biemarginate, lateral margins ampliate, 

 roundly diverging. Mesonotum biemarginate posteriorly, but 

 not bilobate. Scutellum longer than wide, posteriorly acute, not 

 nearly reaching to apex of clavus. Tegmina and wings extending 

 beyond apex of abdomen, the former clothed with short, rather 

 stiff hair, and rounded laterally, embolium wide, apical margin 

 truncate; clavus parallel-sided. Cuneus large, extending pos- 

 teriorly as far as the membrane. Tegmina declivous at base of 

 cuneus. Fore coxae nearly as long as their femora. Hind femora
