? Cicada nitidula, Turton, Syst. Nat., 2, p. 598, is given as a 
syn. in Mr, Walker's Catalogue (lassus No. 14), but this 
is obviously Mupteryx nitidulus, Lin., figured in Donovan's 
Engl. Insects, vol. 8, tab. 288, fig. 1. 
One of our handsomest species, very nearly allied in structure to 
the following, but distinguished by its size, and by the bright yellow 
scutellum, which at once catches the eye. It is common in woods in 
Northamptonshire and Leicestershire, and occurs occasionally near 
London.
