The last-named genus is thus made to comprise not only the old species 
F. Laternaria, Candelaria, and their allies, but also F. recurva, tuba, and tuber- 
culata, together with Flata hæmoptera of Perty ; in which last two species the 
head cannot be said to be rostrated, and in the first two the rostrum is small 
and recurved, and the second joint of the antenne oval, whence they ought 
not to be separated from Aphana discolor, fuscata, &c.; although from the 
general habit of the insects, and even the colouring of the wings, F. re- 
curva and its allies as well as F. platyrhina are perhaps too closely related to 
F. diadema to warrant their absolute removal from the genus. The species, 
however, are so closely connected together that it is impossible to draw the 
line of distinction. Germar has also, in a memoir upon this tribe of insects, 
published in the fourth number of Silbermann's Revue Entomologique, sepa- 
rated Fulgora europea, hyalinata, fenestrata, &c. under the generic name of 
Dictyophora, with the character,“ Elytra apice reticulata, clypeus oblongo- 
ovatus, caput conico-elevatum.” In consequence of this generic name being 
previously employed, Dr. Burmeister has changed it in the second volume of 
his Handbuch,” p. 159, to Pseudaphana. 
As restricted above, the genus Fulgora may be thus characterized : 
Corpus oblongum, subdepressum. Caput fronte in rostrum vel tubulum plùs 
minüsve elongatum, porrectum, (nec recurvum,) productà ; nec conico- 
elevatum. Antenne articulo 2ndo globoso, hemispherico, granuloso, seta 
e medio ejus apicis exeunte, articulo minutissimo ad basin setae. Ocelli 2 
inter oculos et antennas vel potiüs paullo ante antennas positi. Promuscis 
3-articulata, ad usque vel ultra basin pedum posticorum extensa. Cly- 
peus trigonus basi truncatus. Labrum apice acutum. Prothoracis dor- 
sum mesothorace paullo minus, posticè subemarginatum. Hemelytra alis 
minora, latitudine multó longiora, apice crebré venosa et reticulata.
