CLASSIFICATIOX. 



I have nothing to add to my general remarks on the chstinct- 

 ness of the Fulgcfoidea, and their high place in the system. I 

 think however that the Cicadoidea and Tetigonioidea should be 

 merged, for although the former are less allied to any of the 

 families of tlie latter, than these are among themselves, yet the 

 general structure is fundamentally similar. 



The s_\stem of the Auchcnorhynchi now adopted is as follows: 



Superfam. i Cicadoidea 



h'am. 1 Cicadidae 



Fam. 2 Cercopidae 



Sul)fam. 1 Cercopinae 



2 Machaerotinae 



Fam. 3 Tetigoniidae (embracing lo provisional tribes, viz.: 

 Ledrini, Stenocotini, Eurymelini, Phrynomorphini, Eupterygini, 

 Cephalelini. lassini, AlacnKeratogoniini, I'enthimiini and Teti- 

 goniini). 



Fam. 4 Alembracidae 



Superfam. 2 Fulgoroidea 



Fam. I Poekillopteridae 



Sub fam. i Lophopinae 



Sul)fam. 2 Tropiduchinae 



(Tribes Tropiduchini and Tambiniini) 



Subfam. 3 Ricaniinae 



(Tribes Ricaniini and Bladinini) 



Sul)fam. 4 Poekillopterinae 



(Tribes Poekillo])terini and Phalaenomorphini) 



Subfam. 5 Tcjiginac 



Fam. 2 Issidae 



Subfam. i Tssinae 



(Tribes Caliscelini. Tssini) 



Subfam. 2 Amphiscepinae 



Subfam. 3 Eurybrachyinae
