On various genera of the Homopterous family Membracid.e, ivith 

 descriptions of new species, and a neiv geniis in the collection 

 of the British Museum ; by Arthur Ga]:diner Butler, 

 F.L.S., F.Z.S., &c. 



In this, my secoud paper ou the Ilembracida', I have given an 

 enumeration of the species referable to the following genera of 

 Darnina' — Darnis, OcJirolomia, Stictopelta, Lejitosticta, Ilebetica, 

 Criiptoptera, Dectonura, Alcmeone, Hypiiinoe, Aconophora, 

 Eumela, Co7nbopho7'a, Oiiwlon, Nassnnia, lihe.ria, Ileteronotus, 

 and Heniconotus ; and, with the exception of Eumela, Comho- 

 pltoru, and Nassiinia, have given references to the original 

 descriptions and figures of the species. 



As usual, I have been very careful to examine into the 

 synonymy of each species for myself, and I have been astonished 

 at the number of careless blunders Avhicli one author has copied 

 from another down to the present time.
