PLATE EVIt. 
DESCRIPTION OF SOME HOMOPTEROUS INSECTS 
FROM THE EAST INDIES. 
aca 
In a former page (13) I gave a sketch of the arrangements of 
the species of the genus Cicada, proposed by Drs. Germar and 
Burmeister. Within the last few days has been published, M. 
Serville’s volume on the Hemiptera, in the Suites 4 Buffon, in 
which, adopting the principle that every group of species logically 
constitutes a genus, we find the genus Cicada of modern authors 
broken up into the following genera :— 
HOMOPTERA. 
AUCHENORHY NCHI (Cicadarie Latr). 
1 Fam. Stridulantes ; 
1 Tribe. Reticelli; 
composed of the genera POLYNEURA, CYSTOSOMA and HEMIDICTYA.. (See Are. 
Ent. 1, pl. 24.) 
2 Tribe Octicelli ; 
1 Group Tosenides (Div. 1, Hemiptere Burm.)

the fore wings with a dark spot at the tips.
