ON THE LUMINOSITY OF FULGORA CANDELARIA. 45 



segmenta posteriora magis compressa : pedes validi et breviores : 

 tarsi graciles : ungues baud pectinato-fissiles : alarum stigma 

 trigonum minus attenuatum : areola radialis angustior apice 

 acutiiis clausa : nervus cubitalis plerisque ultra angulum lenissime 

 subarcuatus. Maris antennae quam fcmince longiores et graci- 

 liores, corpore tamen breviores, filiformes, lO-articulatse : caput 

 oblatius : metathorax obsoletius rugulosus, angulis subdepressis : 

 abdomen gracilius : pedes graciliores : alae saepe ampliores.

Art. IV. — Discussion on the Luminosity of Fulgora Cande- 

 laria, Sec, at the Ninety-ninth Monthly Meeting of the 

 Entomological Club. (Mr. Davis in the Chair.) 



Mr. Davis. — Gentlemen, the present highly respectable 

 meeting of the friends of the Entomological Magazine, — for I 

 see several amongst us who are not members of the club, — 

 has been convened for the purpose of considering the propriety 

 of altering the figure which appears on the wrapper, and in the 

 title page of the Magazine. It has recently been asserted that

 evidence in favour of the luminosity of Fidgorce is summed up 

 in the " Introduction to Entomology, by Kirby and Spence;" 

 a work of which I scarcely know how to speak in terms of
