In A. S. EB. F. (4 sér.) i, p. 617 (1861), Stal unites Tettigia and 
Cicadatra and makes them subgenera of the united genus. Fieber (1. ¢.) 
keeps them separate and describes Cicadatra as having the anterior 
femora trispinose : pronotum trapezoidal : covering of the drums semi- 
oval or broadly triangular, concealing more or less the drums, and more- 
over a subulate projection or point: the genital sheath (porte-pénis) in 
the ¢ is corneous, elongate or linear and has at the tip a bundle of rib-

of the tegmina, the angles separated by a short, oblique, vein: rostrum 
reaching only the middle or the usually convex end of the mesosternum, 
In Tettigia, the anterior femora are bispinose : pronotum trapezoidally 
broadened backwards: the drums almost covered by a broad semioval 
plate : the genital sheath in & is corneous and ends in two horns, in-
