296 THE ENTOMOLOaiST. 



EHYNCHOTA MISCELLANEA. 

 By G. W. Kirkaldy, F.E.S. 



Fam. TETIGONIIDiE. 



Tetigonia ferruginea (Fabr.). — Chosen (Korea), Port Lazareff 

 (T. B. Fletcher, R.N.). This fine species is very common 

 throughout the Oriental Region from China to Tenasserim, 

 and would indeed be included in the palaearctic fauna at Port 

 Lazareff. 



Fam. FuLGORiD^. 



Geisha, gen. nov. 



Subf. Poekillopterinse ; the characters are those of Flata, but 

 there are no transverse nervures in the clavus, while the trans- 

 verse nervures on the corium are very irregular, so that there is 

 no sutured- off membrane. The latter character will at once 

 separate it from Melicharia, Kirk. 



Type Poeciloptera distinctissima, Walker, 1858. List. Hom. 

 Suppl. p. 114 (China and Japan). 



POEKILLOPTERA, LatV. 



Fowler, who adopts the later spelling ^^Poeciloptera,'' enume- 

 rates in the 'Biologia Centrali-Americana, Homoptera, I.,' p. 50, 

 some of the variations of the name ; but, as one of the references 

 is inaccurate, and others are not the earliest known, a corrected 

 list is here appended : —

■'• Fowler incorrectly quotes this reference as " PoeMlloptera." That 

 name was appended in brackets as a synonym of Flata, Fabr., subg. of 

 Fulgora, Linn.
