"Cicaclidse-American genera and species," Canadian Entomo- 

 logist, volume 33, page 74 (1901). 



I have had these forms separated in my collection for several 

 years and have representatives of the species from several dif- 

 ferent localities, tihiccii having a somewhat wider range, but 

 examples of canicnlaris from Ohio and of prninosa from Ohio 

 and District of Columbia. 



In this connection I may call attention to another form which 

 is closely related to tibicen, and may very likely have been con- 

 fused with it, although it seems to be of rather rare occurrence. 

 The only specimens of which I know are from Ohio and 

 Indiana, and what is probably the male, from Florida. I have 

 described it in a forthcoming paper on the Homoptera of 

 Ohio, but the following diagnosis may be presented in this 

 connection : 



Cicada tulvula n. sp. 



Size and form of tibicen and closely resembles that species, 

 but the coloration of thorax is different, the light part being 

 fulvous and the hind border of prothorax black. Length of 

 female, 32 mm. : to tip of wing, 51 mm. Male, 32 mm. : to tip 

 of wing, 50 mm. 



Head black with narrow tawny stripe on middle of vertex. Front 

 black proboscis fulvous ; prothorax black and greenish fulvous, the 

 fulvous occupying a central patch in discal portions of each side. The 

 broad hind border and narrower lateral border black. Mesothorax 

 fulvous and black, the black occupying the central area and irregular 

 lines at margin. The elytra transparent, faintly smoky, veins at base 

 green, on apical portion black. Abdomen black above, with narrow 

 pruinose line at base. Beneath with broad central polished black stripe 

 and at each side is a broad lateral pruinose border. Legs greenish or 

 olivaceous fulvous. The last ventral segment of female is broadly "V" 

 shaped. 



In what appears to be the male of this species the opercula are of very 

 different shape from those of tibicen or prninosa, being rounded or 

 elliptical posteriorly and with a distinct reflexed border, highly polished, 

 length, 9 mm., width, 6mm., distinctly overlapping on inner margin. 



MR. J. A. G. REHN, the well-known orthopterest, was married to Miss
