March, I9I5-] DaVIS : NOTES ON CiCADAS. 3 



Our largest cicada can then be called C. aulctes Germar with 

 certainty, though possibly it should be called C. grossa, but Dr. Uhler's 

 tendency in this group, to associate two or more species under one 

 name is well known, and he may have been mistaken in this instance. 

 At any rate it is narrowed down to one or the other of these names 

 and C. marg'mata and C. rcsh should not be considered in the case 

 as I hope to show. 



Cicada auletes has a rather wide distribution and in the following 

 records those marked with an asterisk are represented by specimens 

 in the author's collection.
