FAMILY CICADIDAE. 



(The following are not arranged phylogenetically.) 



Cicada poiitianaka Distant. 



Hab. Borneo, Pontianak Aluir. Previously recorded also from 

 the Malay Peninsula, Sumatra, Java, and Sulu. The two males 

 before me agree generally with Distant's figures and descriptions, 

 except that either they difi^er a little as regards the pygophor, or 

 else his figures are bad. 



Plat y pleura caiicscciis (Walker). 



Hab. Larat (Aluir). Previously also from Sumatra, Banda, 

 Timor Laut, and Aru. 



P. nobilis (Germar). 



Hab. Borneo, Telok Ayer (Aluir). Previously from India, 

 Assam, Java, and Sumatra. 



P. lyriccii sp, nov. 



Male and female closely allied to ciliaris (Linneus). Pale 

 greenish-ochraccous ; vertex with a large median piceous suflfu- 

 sion which is continued to the margins by broad lines as follows : 

 two lateral on each side (the second actually on the fastigia), 

 and five basal, so that the vertex seems to be piceous with about 

 six marginal pale areas ; frons more or less piceous basally, some 

 markings on legs, the tarsi, a]:)c.\ of labium, etc., blackish. IVo- 

 notum with a blackish line down the middle reaching to the ante- 

 rior margin of the hind refiected ])art. and two or three short 

 obli(|ue lines on each side of this. Mesonotal markings much as 

 in ciliaris, anterior half or so of the urotergites dark piceous. the 

 last two or three segments mostly so. I'rotergites more or less 

 clouded uilli fuscous. Tegmina whitish tinged with fawn, with 

 pale golden-yellow pubescence; veins pale yellow, green and red; 

 clavus and base of corium dark, a fuscous oblicjue band from the 

 exterior margin to the a])ex of the clavus. on basal third ; the
