90 ORIENTAL CICADIDM. 



Tegmiua and wings bj-aline, the venation ochraceous or fuscous ; tegmina with the costal membrane 

 ochraceous, its extreme basal costal edge black ; postcostal area black ; transverse veins at the bases of 

 the second and third apical areas darkly iufuscated ; base of tegmina scarcely or only slightly passing 

 basal cell (excluding venation) black ; wings with less than basal third black. 



The opercula are about half the length of the abdomen, with their outer margins concavely sinuate, 

 their inner basal margins overlapping, and from thence concavely and obliquely divergent to the apices, 

 which are subacute. 



Long. excl. tegm. <? , 41 inillim. Exp. tegm. 110 millim. 



Hab. — Continental India : Sylhet (Sowerby — Brit. Mus.) ; North Khasi Hills (Chennell — coll. Dist.) ; 

 Neelgiri Hills, South Slopes (Hampson — coll. Dist.). 



This species has considerable resemblance to C. corvus, Walk., also found in the same 

 locality. C. recta, however, is smaller, the costal membrane of the tegmina has only its 

 extreme basal edge black, and the basal black patch to the tegmina and wings is somewhat 

 smaller than in C. corvus ; the colour of the legs, the shape and absence of black markings 

 to the opercula are also different,

3^ . Body above black, sparingly and finely pilose ; tympana castaneous, basal abdominal segment 

 narrowly margined with greyish-white pile, especially at the lateral margins ; eyes dull obscure ochraceous. 

 Body beneath thickly clothed with greyish-white pile ; head, prosternum, lateral margins and a broad 

 central fascia to abdomen, dull olivaceous ; anterior and intermediate legs dull olivaceous streaked with 

 ochraceous, posterior legs ochraceous, femoral streaks and apices of tibiae olivaceous ; opercula bright 

 ochraceous ; face with a central longitudinal fascia and the margins of head between face and eyes dull 

 ochraceous. 



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

 olivaceous, the postcostal area blackish; transverse veins at the bases of the second and third apical 

 areas slightly infuscated ; base of tegmina not extending beyond basal cell (excluding venation) blackish ; 

 vein beneath lower ulnar area reddish ochraceous ; wings with less than basal half blackish. 



The opercula are about half the length of the body, subovate, overlapping at their central basal 

 margins, and their apices broadly and convexly rounded.

 very obscure obconical spots, which are only visible by their slightly darker margins ; basal cruciform 

 elevation pale olivaceous. Abdomen above ochraceous, the posterior segmental margins castaneous. 

 Body beneath and legs ochraceous ; face with the lateral carinse castaneous ; apices of the tibite and tarsi
