Cicada sonora Walker. 



This species was described without locality by Francis Walker in 

 1850 in " List of the Specimens of Homopterous Insects in the Col- 

 lection of the British Museum, Part i, London, 1850." The wings 

 are said to expand 60 lines, which makes it too large for anything but 

 aiilctcs. The markings as described do not agree, however, with those 

 of that species. 



Cicada resonans Walker. 



This species was described in the same publication with Cicada 

 soiiora, and as with that insect no locality was given. Walker says 

 in part : Body tawny with ferruginous tinge ; head with a broad black 

 band: face partly black; "scutcheon" of the fore-chest adorned with 

 a very large obconical black stripe: borders mostly black; hind- 

 scutcheon much widened and slightly waved on each side ; middle- 

 chest adorned with six black stripes, the second pair broader than 

 the outer pair, narrower than the inner pair which are obconical; a 

 large slightly cross-shaped black spot rests on the cross-ridge. Ab- 

 domen black above ; legs tawny ; fore thighs armed with three teeth 

 of various size. Wings colorless; veins tawny; first and second 

 cross-veins clouded with brown; primitive areolet faun-color; fore- 

 flaps and the base of the hind-flaps gray with a buff tinge. Length of 

 the L'ody 18 lines; of the wings [expanse] 56 lines. 



If the locality had been given as southeastern North America there 

 would be little or no doubt as to which insect was described. 



What he says about the fore femora being armed with three teeth 

 of various sizes is of no importance, for some individuals of this 

 species have three teeth, while others have but two.
