NEW SPECIES OF AUSTRALIAN TINGITID/E 
(HEMIPTERA). 
By Henry Hacker, F.E.S. 
(Plates XXXII-XXXV, and Text-figure 1.) 
The following paper adds fifteen species to the Australian Tingitid fauna, 
thirteen of which were collected in Queensland. Several genera, such as the 
Neotropica Tigava and the Oriental Urentius, are here recorded from Australia, 
and two new genera are proposed. With two exceptions, all the types have been 
deposited in the Queensland Museum. 
Subfamily CANTACADERIN/E. 
Cantacader nocturnis n. sp. 
(Plate XXXII, figure I.) 
Head elongate, narrowed in front, armed above with four slightly curved 
porrect spines ; antenniferous tubercles produced into a spine on each side ; bucculse 
prominent, converging and touching beyond head ; the rostrum reaches to the 
second abdominal segment ; antennae slender, segment I stouter and half as long 
again as the second : III long and filiform : IV fusiform, pilose, as long as I and II 
conjoined. Pronotum with five longitudinal carinae, the central one straight, the 
others convexlv curved on the disc ; the outer pair extend about halfway to the 
anterior border, and are anteriorly slightly inclined towards the others ; sides dilated, 
reticulated, with four rows of small areoke at the widest part ; anterior angles 
rectangular ; posterior angles rounded ; posterior border subangularly produced 
in the middle. Elytra somewhat narrowly ovate, closely reticulated ; costal membrane 
uniseriate throughout ; costal area triseriate anteriorly, narrower and biseriate in 
the middle, wider and quadri seriate posteriorly ; the discoidal area is divided by a 
strongly raised longitudinal vein without lateral branches ; the wings are much 
longer than the abdomen. 
General colour pale brownish grey. Head and disc of pronotum brown, 
opaque ; elytral membrane subhyaline, the reticulations varying from light to dark 
brown : a narrow blackish line on the inner margin of elavus, continuing on the 
inner margin of discoidal area as far as the intersection of the longitudinal vein : a 
pale spot at the apex of the elavus ; dark reticulations on the costal membrane and 
area about the middle ; abdomen beneath pale ocliraceous with a brown longi- 
tudinal stripe along the spiracles at each side. Legs and antennae pale flavous. Eyes 
reddish black. Length 4 mm. ; breadth 1*375 mm. 
Holotype . — Brisbane, Queensland (H. Hacker), February. Taken at light. 
He. 3360. 
Paratypes. — Same data, and Brisbane (L. Franzen). At light. 
The above species of Cantacader is more typical of the genus than any 
previously described from Australia. It belongs to Distant’s section A. Short 
lateral pronotal carinse well separated from adjoining carinse. Its shape resembles 
that of C. quinquecostatus Fieb as figured in Fauna British India II, p. 124 1904, but 
the costal area is narrower, with fewer rows of areoke.
