102 ORIENTAL CICABIDM. 



52. Cosmopsaltria ficulnea, n. sp. 



<? . Head, pronotum and mesonotum ochraceous, tinged with greenish; abdomen pale castaneous; 

 upper surface finely pilose. Pronotum, with a narrow anterior margin and two angulated spots on posterior 

 margin, castaneous ; extreme hinder margin narrowly blackish ; anterior area of lateral margins 

 castaneous. Mesonotum with a large, central, castaneous angulated spot, commencing at cruciform 

 elevation and extending to anterior margin, two obconical spots on anterior margin, and the lateral areas, 

 olivaceous ; cruciform elevation ochraceous, with a white tomentose spot on each side. Abdomen with two 

 discal white tomentose spots on the third abdominal segment ; the hind margins of the first three segments 

 blackish, margins of remaining segments finely ochraceously pilose ; tympana pale olivaceous. Body 

 beneath and legs pale ochraceous, the tibiae and tarsi somewhat darker in hue ; lateral margins of abdomen 

 somewhat whitely tomentose. 



Tegmina and wings hyaline, the venation ochraceous and fuscous ; tegmina with the basal cell and 

 costal membrane ochraceous ; the transverse veins at the bases of the second, third, fourth, fifth and 

 seventh apical areas somewhat broadly infuscated ; a marginal row of fuscous spots situate on the apices 

 of the longitudinal veins to apical areas ; and a somewhat indistinct, pale fuscous, linear, longitudinal 

 fascia to the apical areas ; lower basal area pale fuscous. 



The opercula are broad, concave near base, and then broadly and outwardly lobately convex, the 

 apices narrowed, angulated and curved outwardly, extending to near posterior margin of the fourth 

 abdominal segment, their inner margins somewhat regularly convex. 



Long. excl. tegm. 3- , 54 millim. Exp. tegm. 134 millim. 



Hab. — Burma: Cariu Ghecu, 1300 to 1400 m. (Fea — Genoa Mus.) ; Karen Hills (Doherty— 

 coll. Dist.) 



This fine species is most nearly allied to C. saturata {ante, p. 54, t. v. f. 17, a, b), from 

 v^rhich it structm-ally differs by the opercula being more outwardly convex and forming a 

 distinct lobe before apes ; the body is also much longer, and the markings of the pronotum 

 totally different. 



Genus POMPONIA {ante, p. 68). 



25. Pomponia japonensis, n. sp. 



<? . Very closely resembling P. fusca {ante, p. 70, t. vii. f. 10, a, h), but differing by the opercula 

 being widely divided, and not meeting as in Olivier's species ; the rostrum also only reaches the posterior 

 coxse, and does not extend to the basal segment of the abdomen as in P. fusca. 



Long. excl. tegm. a" , 36 millim. Exp. tegm. 88 to 92 millim. 



Hab.— Japan: (Pryer— coll. Dist.) ; Tokoe (coll. Dist.). 



Since writing the description of P. fusca {ante, p. 70), where Japan was included as a habitat 

 of the species, I have obtained a fair series from that locality, and find them all constant in 

 the characters described above, which I had previously overlooked. P. fusca evidently belongs 

 to Continental India, the Malay Peninsula, and Malayan Archipelago, but in Japan is replaced 

 by P. japonensis. 



Synonymy. 

 7. Pomponia ransonetti {ante, p. 72, t. vii. f. 20, a, h). 



Pom})onia Greeni, Eirby, Journ. Linn. Soc. Zool. vol. xsiv. p. 129 (1891). 



Mr. Kirby was evidently unacquainted with my species, when he re-described it as above, 

 under another name.
