Distant's figure in the "Biologia,"' as the mesonotum is actually 

 greenish ; the stigma, moreover, is not represented in the figure 

 and the venation does not quite correspond. For these two speci- 

 mens, I found the subgenus Cticrnavaca, separable from Fulgora 

 (type europaea) as follows: 



Vertex scarcely extended before the eyes, the lateral keels 

 meeting roundedly in front ; the middle keel visible only near 

 the base. Pronotum very obscurely keeled, anterolateral margins 

 somewhat rounded. The lateral keels of the scutellum are arched 

 outwardly. The frons scarcely extends backwards from the eyes 

 and is somewhat rounded basally ; the lateral margins diverge 

 towards the apex, but narrow again just before it ; the sublateral 

 keels form an elongate oval, not touching the other margins at 

 any point, the middle keel being percurrent within them. Clypeus 

 feebly carinate. Tegmina much less reticulate ; stigma four- 

 celled. As in Fulgora, the hind coxae are acutely spined ; the 

 hind femora are four-spined ; the labium reaches to the hind 

 trochanters. 



In the following species the hind margin of the pronotum is 

 minutely, but very distinctly, notched in the middle, whereas in 

 F. curopa it is notched almost imperceptibly. 



Fulgora nereides sp. nov. 



Belongs to, or near, the typical subgenus. Head green, the 

 vertex between the lateral keels, the dorsal part of the genae and 

 th middle keel (suffusedly) of the frons, red. Clypeus yellow, 

 the basal half of the keel red. Underside yellowish. Pronotum 

 and scutellum reddish (or sometimes sordid yellowish-green), the 

 keels (suffusedly on pronotum") green. The main veins of the 

 hyaline tegmina are more or less orange-yellow, those on the 

 apical third yellowish-fuscous, the rest greenish. Legs yellowish- 

 red, greenish on coxae and at base of femora ; extreme apex of 

 femora, apex of tibiae and apical segment of tarsi, blackish. Ver- 

 tex not quite so long as the scutellum, ascending a little in front 

 of the eyes at about 45 degrees, the lateral keels arched outwards 

 at first to a little beyond the eyes, thence converging acuminately, 

 so that part of the obliquely-lying genae is clearly visible dorsally ; 

 at the extreme apex, a part of the frons is also visible dorsally. 

 The frons is very elongate, the lateral margins strongly narrowed 

 towards the base, and slightly widened at the apical margin; 

 medial and lateral keels of frons and clypeus strong, but the sub- 

 median keels of the former are obsolete on the apical half ; the 

 lateral keels are not visible, ventrally, at the base itself. The hind 

 femora have five spines ; hind tibiae about two and a half times 

 longer than the femora. Antennae small, l:)ut larger than in
