ORIENTAL CICADIDM. :17 



This is a very pale colonred species, constant in markings, and a somewhat common 

 insect (if the species of this family can ever be styled abundant)* in the localities where it has 

 been collected. 



12. Leptopsaltria carmente. (Tab. VIII., fig. 2, a, h.) 



JhindMa carmente, Walker, List Iloin. i. p. 71, n. .33 (1850). 



Leptujisdltria nijrescens, Dist. Auu. &: Mag. Nat. Hist. ser. G, vol. iii. p. 50 (1889). 



Brownish-ochraceous, with the foUowinr; black markings : — head with the area of the ocelli, the 

 inner nicargins of the eyes, a spot near bases of antennaa, a spot on each side of front, and a central 

 transverse linear line at base ; pronotum with two central lines united at base, and the incisures ; 

 mesonotuni with two central obconical spots at anterior margin, a sublateral fascia on each side, and 

 a spot in front of each anterior angle of the basal cruciform elevation ; the posterior margins of the 

 abdominal segments, the margins of the eyes beneath, the apex of the face, the disk of the sternum, the 

 inner halves of the opercula, the abdominal tubercles, and the disk of abdomen also black. 



Tegmina pale hyaline, the basal venation brownish, the apical venation fuscous. Wings pale hyaline. 



The rostrum passes the posterior coxae, the opercula are concave externally, oblique internally, 

 the apices narrowed and angularly rounded. 



Long. excl. tegm. <? , 20 millim. Exp. tegm. 56 to G3 milHm. 



Hab.— Java (Erit. Mus., Bruss. Mus., coll. Sign., coll. Dist. ; V. Lansberg — Leyden Mus.). Borneo : 

 Sarawak (Genoa Mus.). 



The black fasciate markings to the opercula renders this species very distinct. 



13. Leptopsaltria barbosae,f n. sp. (Tab. V., fig. 14, a, b.) 



Very closely allied in size, colour, and markings to L. carmente, Walk., but differing in colour, size, 

 and shape of the opercula, which in L. harhosce are shorter, less attenuated posteriorly, not concavely 

 sinuate outwardly, the apices broader and more rounded, \ and the inner and apical margins only shaded 

 with blackish. 



Long. excl. tegm. <? , 22 millim. Exp. tegm. 60 millim. 



Hab. — SuLU Islands: Jolo (coll. Dist.). 



14. Leptopsaltria guttularis. (Tab, XII., fig. 20, a, h.) 



Cicada (juttularis. Walker, List Horn., Suppl. p. 29 (1858). 



Leptopsaltria yuttularis, Still, Berl. Eut. Zeit. 10, p. 170 (1866) ; Ofv. Vct.-Ak. Forh. 1870, p. 710, u. 2 ; .\tkins.

This species is only known to me by the female typical specimen in the British Museum, 

 and by a corresponding female specimen in my own coUectiou. Walker's original description 

 (with some abbreviation) is therefore given : — 



" Testaceous, varied with green ; under side mostly pale green. Head with a black four-forked mark 

 about the ocelli, and with two black transverse streaks on each side ; face with black streaks on the 

 furrows, and with three on each side. Prothorax with a black band in front, and with two black stripes 



* "They generally rest high upon the trees, and though daily and hourly heard, are seldom seen or captured" (Wallace, 

 ' Travels on the Amazons,' new ed. p. 38). 



f Named after Barhosa, to whom, according to Crawfurd, wo are indebted for the first authentic notice of one of the 

 chief islands of the Sulu group. — (Descr. Diet. lud. Islds. pp. 407-8). 



\ Unfortunately rendered too angulate in the figure (Tab. V., fig. 14, h).
