Abstract Immature stages of two species of Ontiscus, O. australis Stål and O. brevis Hamid, are described. Biological notes are provided together with a key to fifth instar nymphs of four species of Ontiscus whose nymphs are known at present. Dorsal views of fourth and fifth instar nymphs and outlines of eggs are given for both species.
