ON THE CICADIDA FOUND IN THE PHILIPPINE 
ISLANDS. 
By W. UL... Distant. 
Pror. C. F. Baker has forwarded me a few species of 
Cicadas for identification, of which two prove to be undescribed 
and another, Purana tigrina, Walk., was hitherto only recorded 
from India and the Malay Peninsula. The genus Psithyristria,

species, ail from the Philippines, still appears to remain one of 
the rarest of genera. The British Museum collection contains 
a single unidentified specimen, and during the many years I 
collected and gathered Cicadidz from many quarters, I never 
succeeded in obtaining a single example of Psithyristria.
