118 ORIENTAL CICADIDM. 



Var. d. 



As var. c, but the tibi^ and tarsi blackish ; head with the margins of front and the lateral areas of 

 vertex ochraceous. 



Hab. — Burma : Momeit (Doherty — coll. Dist.). 



This is a most variable species, of wide distribution. It is probable tliat none of the 

 varieties are of a truly local character; the only one that appears to be so (according to 

 IJresent knowledge) is the Javan traheata, Germ. 



2. Scieroptera crocea. (Tab. XIV., figs. 6, a, b.)

ibid. vol. Iv. p. 155, n. 24 (1886). 



Closely allied to the preceding species, S. splendidula, of which it may probably prove but another 

 variety. Differs by the tegmina being semi-hyaline, and very pale ochraceous, with the venation darker 

 ochraceous. The face is black, with the margins ochraceous. 



Long. excl. tegm. 3^ and ? , 15 to 20 millim. Exp. tegm. 40 to 57 millim.

3. Scieroptera fumigata. (Tab. XIV., fig. 7.) 



Huechys fumigata, Stal, Ofv. Vet.-Ak. Forb. 1854, p. 244 (1854). 



Scieroptera fumigata, Stal, Berl. Ent. Zeit. x. p. 169 (1866) ; Atkins. J. A. S. Bang. vol. liii. p. 220, n. 31 (1885). 



Of this species I have figured a typical specimen in the Stockholm Museum, and append 

 a copy of the original description of Stal. 



" Capite, thorace scutelloque nigris horum marginibus lateralibus, maculisque 2 oblongis, flavis, 

 hemelytris fusco-vinaceis, costa nervisque dilute flavo-testaceis ; alls dilute vinaceo-hyalinis ; abdomine 

 femoribusque testaceis, illo dorso nigricante tibiisque tarsisque nigro-piceis. 



" Long corp. 12 ; exp. tegm. 28 mill."
