PUAl Hh OSX V: 
ON THE OPAQUE-WINGED SPECIES OF CICADA. 
—_—@— 
Havre in the description of the preceding plate shortly noticed 
the generic distribution of the family Cicadidee, I shall here confine 
myself to those species of Cicada which have the fore wings opaque 
and coloured, with the base more coriaceous. These species form 
the second section of the genus as proposed by Dr. Germar, in his 
Memoir in the second volume of Silbermann’s “ Revue Entomo- 
logique.’ * Dr. Burmeister comprises them in his sub-section 6, of 
his first division of the genus. 
The beautiful species of this group hitherto described are the 
following : all being natives of Asia, or the islands of the Indian 
Archipelago. 
Sprcues 1.—C. speciosa, Mlig. (Wied. Arch. 1, p. 1453 pl. 2. Fabricius. Westw. in 
Donov. Ins. Ind. 2d Edit. Lap. and Blanch. Hist. nat. ans. art.) 
Syn. C. Indica, Donoy. ins. Ind, Ist Edit. 
Sprecirs II.—C. fasciata, Fabr. Stoll. Cig. tab. 4, fig. 16. 
Sercies III.—C. maculata, Drury, vol. 2, App. pl. 37, fig. 1. Fabricius, &c. 
Species 1V.—C. thalassina, Perchéron, Gen. d. Ins. Hémipt. pl. 2. Guér. Voy. Coq. p. 183 
Notr.—The figure above referred to gives but a faint idea of the beauty of this species, 
which is in the coliection of the Linnsan Society of London. 
Species V.—C. pulchella, Westw. in Royle’s Himalaya, pl. 10, fig. 2. [Nigra, capite 
thoraceque sulphureo-maculatis; alarum dimidio basali sulphureo (in alis anticis fascia 
nigricanti obliqua in medio diviso) apicibus flavescentibus. Expans. alar. unc. 3%.

Ist Edit. Westw. in ditto, 2nd Edit. Guérin, Voy. de la Favorite, (Mag. Zool. Ins. 
pl. 237, fig. 1). 
Syv. C. philemata, Fabricius, Germar, Burm. 
Species VII.—C. pe nguiolenta, Fabr, &c. (Fronte rufo, linea Jongitudinali nigra alisque 
posticis fuscis. ) 
Species VIII.—C. incarnata, Germar. Guérin. 
Syn. Cig. sanguinol. Brulle, Hist. Nat. Ins. t. x., pl. 5, fig. 2 
Sprcmes IX.—C. Germarii, Guér. Mén. Voy. Favorite (Mag. Zool. Ins. pl. 237, fig. 2). 
Species X.—C. phenicura, Germar, in Silb. Rev. Ent. 2, p. 76. Guér. 1. ¢. 
* Dr. Germar had previously published an excellent Monograph of the genus, with 
descriptions of 106 species, in Thon’s Entomologisches Archiv. vol. 2. M. Guérin Méneville 
has also described numerous species in the text of the Voyage de la Coquille, and Voyage de 
Belanger.
