G. Phdyplenra Hilpa. 



Plntyplcura Hilpa, Walker, List Homopt. Ins. 1, p. 6. 

 n. 10 (1850). 



Platyplcura Fencstrata, XJliler, Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. 

 Philaci, p. 282 (1861). 



China, Hong-Kong {Boiuriivj). Type. B.]\I. 



Excepting in the slightly more transverse thorax, almost 

 precisely like P. Varia; I doubt its being a distinct 

 species : Uhler's species is doubtless P. Hilpa. 



7. Platijplcnra Ciliaris. 



Cicada. Ciliaris, Linnffius, Syst. Nat. 1, 2, p. 706, n. 8 

 (1766).

 figs. 2, 3 (1773).

 n. 24 (1803). 



Cicada Plumosa, Germar, Silbermann's Eevue Entom., 

 t. 2, pt. 1, p. 81, n. 58; pi. 26 (1834). 



Interior of S. Africa; Zulu Country {Sir A. Smith). B.M. 



The figure in Eumph's Herbarium Amboinense (iii., 

 p. 210, pi. 135, fig. B, 1750), is probably intended for 

 Dunduhia Bicandata or an allied species ; it certainly has 

 nothing in common with Platyplcura Occllata.
