Genus Felisacm Distant — ^ WOODWARD 
43 
eyes and nearly 0.66 as wide as across eyes 
(11:17). Rostrum reaching to middle coxae. 
Antennae with segment I cylindrical, with 
long, erect, sparse hairs; 11 more slender than 
I, pubescent; III and IV very slender and 
curved; II about 0.25 longer than I (35:28); 
III about 1.5 times length of I (43:28); IV 
about 0.56 the length of I (16:28). 
Pronotum in mid-line nearly twice as long 
as head (23:12); rather more than 0.25 wider 
across posterior angles than long (30:23), 2.5 
times as wide as across anterior collar (30:12), 
and 0.75 as wide again as head across eyes 
(30:17); in mid-line, anterior lobe, including 
collar, shorter than posterior lobe (10:13), 
the constriction between them coarsely and 
deeply punctate toward sides, with the two 
mesial punctures set well forward; posterior 
lobe strongly raised from constriction, evenly 
convex from side to side except for shallow 
sublateral depressions just inside posterior 
shoulders; lateral margins of shoulders nearly 
straight, sides of basal lobe of pronotum in 
front of them markedly sinuate; base broadly 
and only moderately emarginate in front of 
scutellum, exposing more or less of meso- 
scutum, outside scutellum shallowly sinuate. 
Scutellum with disc nearly flat, smooth, with 
long, erect, pale hairs; sides incised and then 
expanded before apex, which is acute and 
depressed; scuto-scutellar punctures deep, 
ovoid, oblique. 
Hemelytra about twice as long as abdomen; 
costal margins of corium nearly straight and 
parallel in closed position, slightly incurved 
apically, more than twice as long as total 
width of pronotum (58:24; 51:22) and about 
three times as long as cuneus; outer margin 
of inner division of clavus thickened and 
raised, with a row of long, pale, erect hairs. 
Male genitalia as in Fig. 4^, b. 
Length: Female, 4. 2-4.7 mm. Male, 4.0-4. 3 
mm. 
Width across hemelytra: Female, 1.1 mm. 
Male, 1.0 mm. 
COLOUR: Head and pronotum shining, yel- 
lowish brown, sometimes tinged with green. 
Often two more or less distinct red marks 
above inner margins of antennal bases, some- 
times also a red mark on groove at base of 
tylus and on each side of head, particularly 
on basal collum. Eyes dark brown or reddish 
brown. Rostrum light brown; labrum black. 
Antennae dark brown; first segment shining, 
lighter brown or mahogany; first and second 
segments pale at extreme base; antenniferous 
tubercles pale. Posterior shoulders of prono- 
tum dark brown to black. Scutellum uniform- 
ly pale yellowish or greenish brown, except 
for the narrowly dark lateral margins. Heme- 
lytra highly translucent, colourless, except for 
embolium, which is semiopaque, usually pale 
green in life; veins strong, brown or greenish 
brown; margins of embolium and of inner 
division of clavus and inner margin of corium 
between clavus and membrane brown to 
black; corium, clavus, and cuneus glassy, ex- 
tremely finely and shallowly punctate; mem- 
brane very finely and irregularly rugulose, 
clear, iridescent, with margins narrowly in- 
fuscated. Hind wings colourless; veins wide, 
pale amber, sometimes tinged with pale green. 
Legs yellowish brown, paler ventrally and on 
coxae and basal part of femora, which are 
often light green; tarsi infuscated. Abdomen 
usually green in life, fading after death to pale 
yellowish brown. 
A colour form exists differing in the follow- 
ing respects from the above description: The 
red coloration is much more developed; red 
marks above antennal bases fused as a com- 
plete transverse band, red mark on frontal 
depression very pronounced, red lines on 
sides of head longH and more definite, ex- 
tending from eye to pronotum; eyes and 
first segment and apex of second segment of 
antennae markedly reddish; dorsal surface of 
femora and tibiae red; prothoracic shoulders 
not or scarcely infuscated. Of the specimens 
examined, 10 of the 26 females and 23 of the 
28 males from New Zealand are of this colour 
form, and one of the ten males and one of 
the six females from Australia. Both colour 
forms have been captured together in the
