M e t a n o t u m : The hemelytra extend slightly beyond the posterior margin of fourth abdominal segment: four white stripes in a broken median longitudinal line on the hemelytra. C o x a e : The distance between the f irst and second coxae is to that between the second and third coxae as 50*:78; four pits on front and middle acetabula. F e m o r a : The anterior femora just attaining apex of head, and posterior femora very slightly surpassing tip of abdomen. A b d o m e n : The two male processes are minute spine-like and located on the ventral side of the seventh segment slightly behind the median point between the front and rear margin of the segment as shown on Plate IV; a pair of elevations on posterior ventral margin of sixth abdominal segment. Described from one male specimen, the holotype labeled .,Cairns. N. Q." Holotype in U. S. National Museum. Notes. While this is from the same place as H. Halei sp. n. it is distinctly a different species as indicated by the elevations on the sixth ventral and the different position of the spine-like processes on the seventh; both of these species are related to H. Horuathi wTiich differs in having the minute spine-like processes located higher on the sides of the seventh segment and in having a shorter terminal process. Hydrometra HaleV SP. n. (Plate IV). Size and Color. Length, 13 mm (male holotype); the general color of the body brown, head nearly black; pronotum with a depressed median longitudinal line bordered with black; the abdominal tergites are dark brown and polished except the last one Avhich is dull and covered with fine golden pubescence; the connexiva and the ventral parts of abdomen are light brown in color; a lateral submarginal whitish band extends from the acetabula of the hind leg to distal end of the last abdominal segment. Structural Characteristics. Head : Length, 134 units; the ratio of the anteocular part of the head to the posterior part is given in the formula AO:PO: :87:38; the dorsal interocular groove is short, shorter than the diameter of Probably too long, the body IS broken at this point.
