ORIENTAL CICADIDM, 101 



Genus LEPTOPSALTRIA {ante, p. 31). 



15. Leptopsaltria morrisi, ii. sp. 



S . Body above ochraceous. Head with the margins of front — excepting apex — anterior angles f)f 

 vertex, and reticulated markings covering the whole disk of vertex, which enclose ocelli, form an irrogularlj- 

 hollow circular spot before the eyes, and emit two longitudinal central lines from ocelli to base, black. 

 Pronotum with two central longitudinal linear fasciae — widened anteriorly and angulated posteriorly — and 

 the furrows blackish. Mesonotum with a central longitudinal fascia, on each side of which anteriorly is a 

 short oblique fascia, a large and wide irregularly-curved submarginal fascia, the anterior angles of the 

 cruciform elevation, and a spot in front of each of the same, black. Abdomen, with the posterior margins 

 of the segments, the last segment and anal appendage — both above and beneath — and an obscure 

 marginal row of spots on each side, blackish. Body beneath and legs very pale ochraceous ; an obUque 

 fascia between face and eyes, transverse linear fasciae to face, broken by a longitudinal line at centre,— a 

 spot on each side of base of rostrum, under surface and spines of anterior femora, sternal spots, a 

 transverse central fascia at base of abdomen and abdominal tubercles, black. 



Tegmina and wings pale hyaline, the venation ochraceous and black ; the first, with costal membrane 

 and a spot at costal basal angle of upper ulnar area, pale ochraceous ; the transverse veins at bases of 

 second and third apical areas infuscated, and a series of very faint fuscous marginal spots at apices of 

 longitudinal veins to apical areas. 



The rostrum reaches the latitude of the first pair of abdominal tubercles ; the opercula are very wide 

 apart, small, and somewhat irregularly rectangular in shape. 



Long. excl. tegm. $ , 19 millim. Exp. tegm. 55 millim. 



Hab.— Continental India: Madras Province, Shivarai Hills (A. W. Morris— coll. Dist.). 



This distinct species is easily recognised by the abdominal markings. 



Genus COSMOPSALTEIA (ante, p. 43). 



51. Cosmopsaltria feae. 



^ . Body above brownish ochraceous and moderately pilose. Head with a central spot at apex of 

 front, and the anterior angles of the vertex ochraceous. Pronotum with the anterior margin, — narrowly, — 

 a narrow central longitudinal fascia, and the posterior and lateral margms, broadly ochraceous ; extreme 

 hinder margin narrowly black. Mesonotum with two obscure obconical spots at anterior margin, outwardly 

 and narrowly margined with blackish, and a large obscure marginal fascia on each side pale castaneous ; the 

 crucifomi elevation ochraceous. Body beneath and legs pale ochraceous ; the face brownish ochraceous ; 

 the anterior and intermediate tibia? and tarsi black, the tibia; streaked with ochraceous. 



Tegmina and wings pale hyaline, the venation ochraceous and blackish, mostly blackish ; tegmina 

 with the costal membrane ochraceous, with a central black line ; postcostal area ochraceous ; extreme base 

 narrowly ochraceous ; venation of basal cell black at posterior margin, remainder ochraceous. 



Opercula almost reaching the apex of abdomen, moderately convex on each side and at apex, concave 

 on each side near base. 



Long. excl. tegm. <? , 45 millim. Exp. tegm. 122 millim. 



Hab.— Burma : Carin, Asciuii Ghecu, 1400—1500 m. (Fea— Genoa Mus.). 



This species is allied to C. jacoona, Dist. {ante, p. 47, t. v. f. 3, a, b), from which it 



principally differs by the length of the opercula with their broader and more convex apices ; 



the markings of the head and pronotum arc also different.
