﻿CLASSIFICATION. 



I have nothing- to add to my general remarks on the distinct- 

 ness of the FnlgCfToidea, and their high place in the systsm. J 

 think however that the Cicadoidea and Tetigonioidea should be 

 merged, for although the former are less allied to anv of the 

 families of the latter, than these are among themselves, yet the 

 general structure is 'fundamentally similar. 



The system of the AuchenorhynchrTrow adopted is as follows : 



Superfam. i Cicadoidea 



Fam. I Cicadidae 



Fam. 2 Cercopidae 



Subfam. i Cercopinae 



2 Machaerotinae 



Fam. 3 Tetigoniidae (embracing lo provisional tribes, viz.: 

 Ledrini, Stenocotini, Eurymelini, Phrynomorphini, Eupterygini, 

 Cephalelini, lassini, Macroceratogoniini, Penthimiini and Teti- 

 goniini). 



F'am. 4 Membracidae 



Superfam. 2 F'ulgoroidea 



Fam. I Poekillopteridae 



Subfam. i Lcphopinae 



Subfam. 2 Tropiduchinae 



(Tribes Troi)iduchini and Tambiniini) 



Subfam. 3 Ricaniinae 



(Tribes Ricaniini and Rladinini) 



Subfam. 4 Poekillopterinae 



(Tribes Poekillopterini and Phalaenomorphini ) 



Subfam. 5 Tcnginae 



Fam. 2 Issidae 



Subfam. i Issinae 



(Tribes Caliscelini, Tssini) 



Subfani. 2 Amphiscepinae 



Subfam. 3 Eurybrachyinae 



Fam. 3 Tetigometridae
