tion of clavus much as in cnsifcra. The rest of tcgmen agrees 

 fairly well with that of cnsifcra as fii^ured hy Schmidt, though not 

 by Distant. The scutellum is more arched and the posterior 

 margin is vertical and nearly as long as the distance between it 

 and the pronotum ; it is strongly compressed and tricarinate along 

 the top, the lateral keels being evanescent anteriorly, the middle 

 one evanescent posteriorly ; the process is arched and rounded, 

 the posterior being deflected. Head and pronotum slightly cari- 

 nate longitudinally. 



Length to apex of abdomen 6i4 mm. ; to apex of process in 

 straight line 9^4 nim. ; to apex of closed tegmina 8^ mm. 



Habitat Amboina ( Muir, Nov., 1907). 



FA^HLY FULGORIDAE. 



The type of the genus Fiils;ora has been wrongly determined by 

 all recent authors. The genus was erected by Linneus in 1767 

 ( Syst. Xat. (Ed. 12) I 703), and the type was fixed by Sulzer in 

 1776 (Abgek.Gesch. Ins. 85), as cnropaca Linneus. This being 

 the earliest genus, the superfamily and family take their names 

 from it. For Fulgora auctt. (type latcrnaria Linneus), the name 

 Lafcniaria Stal 1866 should be used. The subfamily formerly 

 known as "Fidgorinac'^ should be known as Lystrinac . 



Subfamily Lystrinac. 



C\rp()ptns snai'is Stal. 



Habitat IVIexico, Cuernavaca (Koebele). The males are as 

 figured in the "Riologia," but the females have the orange-yellow 

 of the tegmina and wings replaced by sanguineous; the head, 

 pronotum and scutellum are i)ale reddish-brown and the tergites 

 dark orange-brown, in the latter sex.

A somewhat immature specimen from .Xniboina (Muir). may 

 be dclibiifa Stal (from Ternate), but I can not obtain the de- 

 scription; it is not dcccns or pallcsccns. If this specimen is. as T 

 supjwse, a Birdantis, then Stal was right in sup]K)sing that it 

 ought to be placed in his "54" division, as the "claval vein" nuis 

 into the commissure before the ai)e\ of the clavus.
