184 Mr. Butler s Monograpliic List of the 



2. Platypleura Divisa. 



Cicada Divisa, Germar, Silbermann's Ee"siie Eiitom., 

 t 2, pt. 1, p. 80, n. 56 ; pt. 2, pi. 23 (1834). 



Var. ?. Platypleura C/i/o;wio/a, "Walker, List. Homopt. 

 Ins., 1, p. 8, n. 13 (1850). 



"Cape of Good Hope" — Germar. S. Africa; Port 

 Xatal {G-ucinzius). "Walker's t^'pe. B.M. 



The P. Chloronota of "Walker is of a greener tint, and 

 the dark markings are less defined than in the typical 

 form. 



3. Platypleura Catocaloides. 



Platypleura Catocalaidcs, "Walker, Journ. Linn. Soc. 

 ZooL, vol. X., p. 82, n. 1 (1867). 

 Amboina (Wallace). Type. B.M. 



4. Platypleura Arcuata. 



Platypleura Arcuata, "Walker, Insecta Saundersiana, 

 Homopt. p. 1 (1858). 



Qex-Am {Wallace). Type. B.M. 



Only differs from P. Catocaloides in its deeper coloration, 

 it is probably a local form of that species ; Stal has placed 

 it as a synonym of P. Ciliaris ; but, as he saw the 

 hemelytra only, this was to some extent excusable ; I have 

 opened them to shew the wings.* 



5. Platypleura Varia. 



Cicada Varia, Olivier, Enc. Metli. v., p. 756, n. 44; 

 pi. 113, fig. 6; Stoll Cic. p. 102 ; pi. xxvi., fig. 147 (1788). 



Platypleura Varia, Walker, List Homopt. Ins. 1, p, 8, 

 n. 12 (1850). 



Cape of Good Hope {Drege). B.M. 



Stoll's figure is far more like P. Catoccdina of "Walker ; 

 this species seems distinct from P. Ciliaris, so far as I can 

 see ; although placed with it by Stal. 



* Stal says, "Exempla typica Linnai, De Geerii et Walkerii examinavi ;' 

 i-idi would be more conect.
