MatsujMura : A I JST of the Japanese and Formosan Cicadidae, with Description j g^ 



Hab.— Formosa (Koshun, Shinko, Taihoku, Kdtosho). 

 Nom. Jap. — Takvan-hnnasemi, 



Div. Dundubiaria 



8. Gen. Leptopsaltria Stal. 



15. Leptopsaltria tuberosa Sign. 



Cicada tuberosa Sign., Soc. Ent. Fr. (2), Vol. V, p. 299 (1847). 

 Leptopsaltria tuberosa Dist., Mong. Orient. Cicad., p. 34, t. 8, f. 7 a, b 

 (1889); Mats., Ann. Zool. Jap. Vol. II, Pt, i, p. 8, t. i, f. 7 a, b 

 (1904). 

 Hab. — Japan (?) ; Java, Malacca, India. 

 This species was originally described from the Javanese specimens, and lately 

 it was known also from India (Sikkim, Khasia Hill) and Japan? (Yokohama). 



The only specimen from Japan is now in the museum of Brussel, but I doubt 

 whether it was truly from Japan (or Java ?), although I have collected a quite 

 large number of specimens of Cicadidae from all parts of Japan and Formosa, I 

 have not yet met with any insect resembling in the least to the present species. 



9. Gen. Formosemia "• g. 



* Genotype — Leptopsaltria apicalis Mats. 

 Allied to Parana Dist., from which it differs in the following characters: — 

 Head including eyes distinctly broader than the base of mesonotum ; face 

 prominent, but far less than at right angles to the anterior lateral angles of vertex ; 

 abdomen scarcely longer than the space between head and cruciform-elevation, 

 scarcely attenuated towards the apex ; tympanal coverings in the male as broad at 

 base as long ; tubercles on the second and third ventral segments long and slender, 

 strongly sloping backwards ; rostrum reaches to the base of abdomen. 



16. Formosemia apicalis Mats. 



Leptopsaltria apicalis Mats., Ann. Zool. Jap. Vol. VI, p. 95 (1907); 

 Thous. Ins. Jap., Add. Vol. i, p. 78, t. 9, f. 7 ('9'3)- 

 When I have described this species comparing it with I^cptopsaltrla tuberosa 

 Sign., I was not aware of the fact, that what I thought to be Z. tuberosa was 

 Euterpnosia chibensis Mats, and so it is necessary to describe this insect again.
