In the division Huechys come Cicada {H.) splendidula from the 

 East Indies, described by Fabricius (Syst. Rh. 42. 49), and 

 figured in Donovan's ' Insects of China,' fig. * * * *, and Cicada 

 {H.) octonotata, Westwood (Arc. Ent. t. 57. fig. 2), both which 

 species are in the Museum collection. 



Tettigarcta, White, in the Appendix to Eyre's Travels in Au- 

 stralia, i. 412 (Aug. 1845). 



Head very small, in front blunt ; lateral ocelli close to the eyes, 

 the space between them furnished with long hairs. Prothorax 

 very large, extending back in a rounded form beyond the base of 

 the hind wings, sharp-pointed on the sides ; the back convex and 

 wrinkled. Body and under parts densely clothed with hair. 



This genus differs from all the Stridulantes in the size and 

 shape of the prothorax : in the neuration of the wing it is allied 

 to Platypleura {Serville and Amyot) ; in the size of the head and 

 the hairiness of the body it approaches Carin£ta {SevY. and Am.).

 gray hairs. Elytra spotted and varied with brown. Wings clear, 

 somewhat ferruginous at the base.
