Melichar has confused Sc'lciwccphaliis ciucticcps Uhier from 

 Japan (destructive to Oryza satix'a) with a Sinhalese species 

 "which he identiiies with Pcdiopsis apicalis and P. nigroiihiculafus 

 Motshulsky. A', apicafis however differs from ciiuiiccps as will 

 be shown later, while a Madagascan species is closely allied also. 

 I think that (Cicada) hi punctata Fabr. { = Thamnotcttix bi punctata 

 Stal) should replace the name apicalis, wliile (T) nigropicta Stal 

 should replace ciucticcps I 'lilcr.
