belonging to the Homopterous family Cicadide. 687 
spots on anterior margin, and a discal waved irregular 
fascia on each side. Abdomen with the segments (ex- 
cluding first) more or less piceous at base, and with a 
lateral segmental row of piceous spots. Body beneath 
ochraceous and unicolorous. Tegmina and wings pale 
hyaline ; tegmina with the venation of basal half ochra- 
ceous, and apical half fuscous; transverse veins at base 
of second and third apical areas broadly infuscated ; 
transverse veins at base of first and second ulnar areas 
fuscous, ochraceous at junction. The head, including 
eyes, is considerably narrower than base of pronotum ; 
the face is only moderately convex, sulcated from beyond 
the middle, the sides distinctly striated (the face has 
also an oblong spot bordered with black at base, and the 
upper striations are also of that colour). The opercula 
reach the third abdominal segment ; they are moderately 
truncate outwardly, widened and angulated inwardly 
(but not meeting) on first abdominal segment, and then 
diverging and narrowing to apex, which is obtuse and 
rounded ; the inner margin is slightly convex. Rostrum 
reaching a little beyond posterior coxe. Anterior femora 
with two strong spines. Long. 24 mm. Exp. tegm.

This and the two following species are somewhat 
difficult to separate from the genus Dundubia, save and 
except by the length of the rostrum. They also resemble 
the Vibrans group of that genus.

Head with the following black markings: an irregular spot 
on front; a large central fascia on vertex, reaching from 
anterior to posterior margins, produced on each side in 
front, and enclosing ocelli; a curved fascia a little before 
inner margin of eyes, and a subtriangular spot on apex 
of lateral margin. Pronotum with the anterior margin 
(narrow), a central longitudinal fascia, bordered with 
black on each side, and a biangulated fascia on each 
lateral margin, pale ochraceous; two narrow oblique fascize 
on each side, a narrow longitudinal fascia on each side of 
disk, inner posterior, and inner and outer lateral margins,
