ORIENTAL CICADWJE. 53 



Body above castancous, more or less covered with ptreyish pubescence and pilosity. Head with the 

 vertex somewhat spnrinp;ly pilose, and the area of the ocelli a little infuscated. Pronotum sparingly 

 pubescent, with a central hourglass-shaped concolorous fascia. Mesonotum with two central and somewhat 

 obsolete obovate spots on anterior margin. Body beneath pale castaneous, the opercula ochraceous ; 

 anterior and intermediate femora with the bases and apices fuscous, the central portion pale ochraceous ; 

 anterior tibiiB castaneous, with the tarsi pitchy ; intermediate tibiit; pale castaneous, witli the base narrowly 

 and the apex broadly piceous ; posterior legs pale castaneous, apices of femora and the bases and apices 

 of tibiffi dark castaneous. 



Tegmina and wings pale hyaline; tcgmina with the costal membrane and the basal cell pale 

 castaneous, claval area pitchy, the transverse veins at the second, third and fifth apical areas infuscated, 

 and a submarginal series of small fuscous spots at apices of the longitudinal veins to apical areas ; wings 

 with anterior claval margin and a curved basal streak, dark castaneous. 



The opercula reach the base of the fourth abdominal segment, their outer margins are deeply 

 narrowed and concave near base, and then are somewhat convex and slightly directed outwardly to apex, 

 which is moderately broad and rounded. 



Long. excl. tegm. S , 46 millim. Exp. tegm. 116 to 122 millira.

This is a variable species in the markings of the tegmina; in some specimens the 

 transverse veins at the bases of the second, third, fom'th, fifth and seventh apical areas are 

 infuscated, and in others the marginal spots are also almost absent. The greyish pubescence 

 is also often rubbed and obsolete.

S . Head and thorax above obscure olivaceous. Head with the lateral margins to front, the area 

 of the ocelli, and some irregular spots on each lateral area of the vertex black; eyes ochraceous. 

 Pronotum with two u-regular central black fascia?, ampliated at base and apex, and with two at each 

 lateral margm, the posterior margin with its edge narrowly black and a black spot near lateral angles. 

 Mesonotum with two central l)lackish obconical spots, between which a narrow l)lack fascia extends to 

 base, and a black spot in front of each anterior angle of the basal cruciform elevation. Abdomen above 

 largely suffused with dull black shadings. Body beneath olivaceous ; a central fascia to face, anterior 

 margin between face and eyes, inner margins and apices of femora, and the tibisB more or less blackish. 

 Opercula olivaceous, their apices and a spot near base blackish. Abdomen beneath olivaceous, largely 

 suffused with black shadings. 



Tegmina and wings pale hyaline, the venation fuscous ; tegmina with the base and costal membrane 

 fuscous, the transverse veins at the bases of the second, third, fifth, and seventh apical areas and the 

 apices of the longitudinal veins of apical areas infuscated. 



The rostrum has the apex pitchy and just passing the posterior coxm; the opercula are somewhat 

 narrowed, concavely sinuated on each side near base, and narrowed towards apices, which are obtusely 

 angulated and reach the fourth abdominal segment.
