Stal (in Hem. Afric. iv, p. 16, 1866) makes P. ocellata, De Géer of 
Walker, (excl. syn.) and P. capensis, Am. & Serv., one with P. hirti- 
pennis, Germar, and also Cicada plumosa, Germar, a variety of the same 
species ; again (in Ofvers. K. V.-A. Foérh., p. 500, 1862) he unites Cicada 
ocellata, De Géer, Cicada varia, Olivier, from the Cape, and Platypleura 
arcuata, Walker (Ins. Saund. p. 1), from Ceram, with P. ciliaris, Linn., 
but Butler (1. c.) keeps the last two separate. Olivier is the only one 
that gives India as the locality ; and I include the species in our Indian 
list. as it is also recorded from Java and the Philippines, the fauna of 
which have a marked affinity with that of India. 
Thorax with a rim: tegmina pale with white patches: wings 
blackish ferruginous, with a yellowish band bent back towards the disc 
and sometimes triple : abdomen blackish with pale and ciliated rings 
(Olivier). Head and thorax green, spotted black : tegmina fuscous and 
variegated cinereous, with two whitish spots before the costa, which is 
virescent at the base: wings dull black with two small lines at the base,
