Allied to P. Brevis, but quite distinct : P. Simflcx also 

 seems to be somewhat different, although possibly only a 

 variety of P. Brevis : the type has tlie fourth discoidal

 verse vein, but the position of this vein is not quite the 

 same on the two opposite tegmina.

The Tettigonia Affinis of Fabricius has been turned out 

 of Plat!i2)lenra as the type of Stal's genus PceeilopsaUria : 

 as I do not know the species, I am quite content to leave 

 it so, although from the description I had supposed it to 

 allied to Platypleura Fidvigera. 



Cicada {Platypleura) Poeyi, Sagra: and Walherii of 

 Guerin (Hist, fisica de la isla de Cuba vii., p. 178 ; 1857) 

 are probably species of Zammara.
