Cicada johannis Walker. 



This was described in 1850, and St. John's Bkiff, Florida, is given 

 as the type locality. Johannis has been placed by Distant as a 

 synonym of Cicada hieroglyphica and it probably is only a race. 

 It. however, presents some differences and the writer for some time 

 has regarded specimens from Florida as separable from typical 

 hieroglyphica. In specimens otherwise of the same size the distance 

 across the head at the eyes is generally greater than in New Jersey 

 individuals, and the marks on the head, pronotum and mesonotum 

 are more in the nature of black spots and dashes than of continuous 

 lines. The black spot behind each eye is reduced to a narrow basal 

 line in johannis and below the transverse black band on the front the 

 region of the rugje is unicolorous. In hieroglyphica there is usually a 

 dark line running down the median groove of the transverse rugx. 

 There are a number of other color differences that are quite con- 

 stant. We have a male from Carrot Island, near Beaufort, N. C, 

 June 23, 1913 (F. Harper), that is marked like the specimens from 

 Florida, showing that we may expect johannis along the coast. A 

 male of Cicada johannis from La Grange, Brevard Co., Florida, is 

 figured. 



A few pages further on in the same publication where Cicada 

 johannis was described, namely in the " List of the Specimens of 

 Homopterous Insects in the Collection of the British Museum," Part 

 I, Walker describes Cicada scx-guttata without locality. He says 

 the wings expand 30 lines instead of 26-28 lines as in johannis and 

 that the tympana (he calls them opercula) are small instead of large 

 as in johannis. His lengthy description of the color pattern fits the 

 Florida species quite as well as any of the others here considered 

 and many specimens from Florida are also of the size of his scx- 

 guttata. This species has been placed by Distant as a synonym of 

 hieroglyphica, but when large collections have been made some local- 

 ity may yield specimens to fit the description.
