124 ORIENTAL CICADID^. 



in our fauna as here restricted ; but as the second is found onl}^ just to the east of New 

 Guinea, and may be also found on that island, I have figured it, and added the description in a 

 footnote.*

Genus KAMALATA. 



Kamalata, Distant, Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. ser. 6, vol. iii. p. 52 (1889). 



Body very robust ; the abdomen broad and moderately inflated, its lateral margins distinctly keeled 

 beneatb ; the opercula are short, as in the genus Pomponia ; the rostrum in the typical species here 

 described about reaches tbe posterior coxfe, its second joint somewhat compressed laterally and dilated and 

 deeply grooved above ; anterior femora robust, and spined beneath at apex. Tegmina short, broad, about 

 as long as the body ; apical areas eight in number, first longer than the second, basal ulnar area very 

 slightly ampliated anteriorly. 



The principal characteristic of Kamalata is found in the vertex of the head, which is laminately 

 produced on each side in front of the inner margin of the eyes in somewhat rectangular processes. 



My whole knowledge of this genus is derived from a specimen contained in the Leyden 

 Museum, and whicli is here figured.
