Cicadidac. 



The Cicadidac liavc been divided In' Distant into three sub- 

 iamihes, characterized hv the tympanal coverings, but the divi-

 liomogeneous. 



(a). Australian S])ecies. 



As previously remarked, the Australian Cicadidac were dis- 

 cussed by Coding & Froggatt (1904 P. Linn. Soc. N. S. VVaks 

 XXIX, 561-670, Pis. XVIII-XIX) ; since then a number of sup- 

 p-osedly new genera and species have been described by Distant 

 and enumerated in his "Synonymic Catalogue of Homoptera. 

 Part T Cicadidac" (1906, pp. 1-207). The Australian fornis 

 added since Coding & Froggatt's Monograph are as follows :
