A single male from Ganta Sila hill near Rambha, Ganjam district, 

 Madras Presidency, 22-vii-16. 



This specimen agrees structurally with a specimen in the collection 

 of the Zoological Survey of India from Paresnath hill, 4,000-4,400 ft., 

 Bengal (v-1909), identified by Distant, except that it is slightly smaller 

 and narrower. The markings on the body, both above and beneath, 

 although similar in position and shape, are much smaller and narrower, 

 giving the insect a paler appearance. It is probably a pale variety of 

 T. jenkinsi and like it there is an abnormality in the tegmen, where 

 there is a distinct small cell at its apical margin between the first and 

 second apical areas, the one on the right tegmen being larger than the 

 one on the left. 



[This Cicada is rare on Barkuda, but common on a neighbouring 

 island and on the hill Ganta Sila near Rambha. It is diurnal in habits 

 and always lives amidst a dense growth of trees or shrubs. Its song 

 is very harsh and never prolonged for more than a few minutes at 

 a time. It commonly settles on tree-trunks, on which it is most 

 inconspicuous. The male begins to sing as soon as he is settled, and 

 as a rule flies off to another tree as soon as his song is finished. 

 Although the species was heard daily in July and August, and frequently 

 seen, as it flew from tree to tree, we succeeded in catching only one 

 specimen.]
