Note. — It is with, some diffidence that this insect, which occurs also in Australia, 
from Cairns to Moreton Bay, is regarded as a new species. The characters, however, 
which it presents do not seem to accord with those assigned to any of the recorded 
species of this genus. 
19. Eysarcoris affinis, Dallas. Cat. Hemip., p. 227. Loc. : Toko, 
Fairfax Harbour ; and Eigi (A. C. English). 
Note. — ^The examples of Eysarcoris which are referred to this species may 
possibly, however, represent a distinct one. Their length is generally less than in 
the case of E. affinis, and the head has decided purplish metallic reflections, a 
feature which is not noted as occurring in the latter insect. 
20. Eysarcoris megaspiloides, sp. nov. Park fuscous, shining, 
thickly and coarsely punctured. Anterior lateral borders and a 
centrally callous band across the disc of prothorax, an isolated broad 
band on each side of the scutellum at its base and a crescentic band 
towards its apex, the costal margin of the corium at its base, an ill- 
defined patch on the pro- and mesostethium and the external angle 
of the metastethium, the connexivum and sides of the abdomen beneath 
yellowish-white. The cell of the corium of fore-wings and the dark 
speckled legs yellowish-brown, An irregular band on the femora and 
the last tarsal joints fuscous. Head blackish with purplish reflections, 
but without longitudinal tawny streaks. Nostrum anci antennas m
