86 ORIENTAL CICADID.E. 



each side of which is an irregular and inwardly notched fascia, and the basal cruciform elevation, pale 

 castaneous. Abdomen black, the lateral margins fringed with pale castaneous pile. Body beneath very 

 pale castaneous; the face, anterior margin of head between face and eyes, and basal abdominal patch, 

 black. Anterior legs black, the femera streaked with pale castaneous ; intermediate legs with the femora 

 black streaked with pale castaneous, the tibis pale castaneous with their bases and apices black ; posterior 

 legs pale castaneous, the bases and apices of femora and tibiee black. 



Tegmina and wing pale hyaline ; tegmina with the venation and the costal membrane pale 

 castaneous, the extreme basal margin of the last black ; basal third (excluding venation) and the subcostal 

 area to apex, blackish ; wings with about basal half obliquely black. 



The body is robust, but moderately elongate ; the opercula do not overlap at their basal margins, 

 and at a short distance from base become widely divergent and narrowed to apices, their outer margins 

 slightly concavely sinuate and in length they extend a little beyond the middle of the abdomen.

Fidicina operculata, Carreno (M.S. ?'?) ; Walk. List Hom. i. p. 90, n. 19 (1850). 



(? . Body above black ; eyes fuscous ; anal segment of the abdomen with an ochraceous spot on each 

 side. Body beneath and legs black ; a spot at anterior margin of face, two marginal spots between face 

 and eyes, lateral margins of face, femoral streaks, posterior tibite (excluding bases and apices), margins 

 of opercula, segmental margins (excluding disk), and apex of terminal segment, dark ochraceous. 



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

 its extreme costal edge blackish, the post-costal area blackish ; basal cell black ; about basal third of 

 tegmina and the subcostal area to ax^es pale castaneous. Wings with about basal half irregularly very 

 dark castaneous. 



The opercula extend to about half the length of the abdomen, slightly overlap at basal margin, 

 somewhat concavely and obliquely sinuate at outer margins, and inwardly beyond base widely divergent to 

 apices, which are narrowly and obtusely convex.

Mr. Atkinson* states that "the Indian Museum possesses a specimen" of G. operculata, 

 Carreno, but this is probably erroneous, as he writes that the species was recorded from 

 N. India, though Walker — perhaps the greatest obscurantist who has yet appeared in 

 entomology — gave no locality to the specimens he identified under Carreno's name, without 

 any reference to the place or manner of their description. 



C. Tegmina with about basal third alone black.
