Mr. Wesrwoop on the Family Fulgoridæ. 143 
Species 15. FULGORA FLAMMEA. 
F. * fronte rostrata adscendente, tereti, truncata; tota superius sordide ferru- 
gineo-cinerascens ; elytra ad apices a pagina superiore punctis obscuri- 
oribus, tota striæ oblique secant ut in serpentum cute.” Linn. Am. Acad. 
* Ale inferiores fusca." Linn. Syst. Nat. Minor Cicada Candelaria.“ 
* Habitat ? De Geer.“ Linn. Amen, Acad. “ In America,” Linn. Syst.

Syn. Fulgora flammea. Linn. Amen. Acad. vi. 399. 39. Syst. Nat. ii. 704. 7.

Obs. It is perhaps impossible to determine precisely this species at the present 
day. Linnzeus, indeed, says it is smaller than the common Chinese species, 
and in the Systema Nature he, as well as Fabricius subsequently, gives 
America as the habitat ; so that it cannot be Fulgora tenebrosa, as cited 
by the latter author, which is as large as Candelaria, and an inhabitant 
of Africa. On the other hand, the description of the spotting of the 
hemelytra and the colouring of the hind wings, together with the 
circumstance that Linnæus refers to De Geer's collection for the species, 
that author having subsequently figured an insect of unknown locality 
(and being in all probability the identical specimen examined by Lin- 
næus,) agreeing with Fulgora tenebrosa, seem to prove that the Linnæan 
F. flammea is identical with the Fabrician F. tenebrosa. Olivier (Enc. 
Meth. vi. 170.) is certainly in error in giving Stoll's fig. 29. (which is the 
Raphirhinus fasciatus,) as this insect. 
Species 16. FULGORA PUNCTATA. 
F. capite rostrato corporis ferè longitudine, recto, apice truncato; grisea, 
nigro-punctata ; elytris griseo-hyalinis, punctis numerosis nigris adspersis ; 
alis albis venis fuscis; abdomine griseo. 
Habitat in Guineà.
