Fam. FuLGORiNA. 



Fulgora laternaria Amyot et Serv., p. 490, l. Linne, Syst. 

 Nat., II, 703, 1. 



Taken between Napo and Maraiion. I can discover no distinctive 

 characters to separate this from the typical F. laternaria Autor, from 

 Brazil. The specimens are not large, but they agree with small 

 specimens in my collection, which were taken in Eastern Brazil. 



Fam. CiCADiNA. 



Zammara sp ? Taken near Quito. A very beautiful insect, prob- 

 ably undescribed, but too much mutilated and distorted to bear char- 

 acterization. 



Cicada sp? Too much altered to be recognized. Foimd at 

 Guayaquil. 



Fam. Tettigonid^. 



Tettigonia rugieoUis Signoret, Ann. Soc. Ent. France, 3d 

 series. III, p. 625, pi. 21, fig. 18. One specimen taken between 

 Quito and Napo. 



Fam. Jassid^e. 



Gypona sp? Taken between Quito and Napo. A species allied 

 to G. columba Fitch, but probably new. The specimen is too much 

 altered to bear description. 



The bean-shaped bodies coated with white, mealy and flocculent 

 matter appear to be excrescences, caused by the punctures of Coccina, 

 and apparently serving as nids for the reception and development of 

 their eggs. I can find no account of similar objects in any of the 

 books to which I have access.
