60 ORIENTAL CICADID.E. 



This species is at present only recorded from the north-western coast of the island of 

 New Guinea. Boisduval only figured the underside, and that by comparison will be found 

 to be but moderately accurate. 



ff. Tegmina more or less spotted.

Long. excl. tegm. S , 37 millim. Exp. tegm. 115 millim.

J . Body above olivaceous-brown. Head with the anterior margins darker, the ocelli red. Pronotum 

 with the anterior margin, two contiguous central longitudinal lines from which two oblique lines radiate 

 from about centre on each side, an irregular spot, an oblique line on apical area, and the inner border of 

 posterior margin castaneous ; the lateral angles of posterior margin ochraeeous. Mesonotum with three 

 slender and obscure central fasciae forming two fused obconical spots. Abdomen above olivaceous-brown, 

 the tympanal coverings ochraeeous. Body beneath paler, the face with the lateral striations castaneous, 

 the anterior and intermediate tibiae and tarsi castaneous. 



Tegmina and wings pale hyaline, the venation fuscous and ochraeeous ; tegmina with a black and 

 ochraeeous costal spot at base of upper ulnar area, the transverse veins at bases of second, third, fifth and

 longitudinal veins to apical areas. 



The head is considerably produced in front of the eyes ; the rostrum just passes the posterior coxfe ; 

 the opercula are short, broad, nearly meeting, slightly concave outwardly, and their apices are broad, 

 somewhat obliquely convex, and about reaching the base of the fourth abdominal segment ; they are also
