or into the sutura clavi. Melichar (1903 Horn. Ceylon) incor- 

 rectly characterizes it as "Head and eyes together as wide as the 

 I'ronotum" (added to Stal's character of the anal vein running 

 into the claval suture), although he includes therein Elasmoscelis 

 radians and platypoda in which the head is much narrower than 

 the pronQtum. Astorga bears a very close general resemblance 

 to Lophops, but the anal vein clearly runs into the commissure ; 

 however, it is best located in the Lophopinae at present. It may 

 be distinguished from Lophops by the form of t!ie tegmen. 



I. saccharicida. 



On PI. XX\'III, f. II, of my former contribution, an ocellus 

 should have been depicted between the apex of the antennae and 

 the anterior margin of the eye, a little inwards ; a nymph of this 

 species is figured on PI. I, figs. 8-9. 



I do not regard Kiisuina, Vanna and Padanda of Distant as 

 I.ophopid. 



Tropiduchinae. 

 The following are nr,\v figured : 



Rhinodictya quacsitri.\\ PI. IX, figs. 12-13. 



Pcltodictya knrandac PI. \'III. figs. 3-4. 



Distant (1907 A. M. N. H. (7) XIX, 416) cites Pcltodictya 

 as synonymous with Ficarasa Walker. In the latter, however, 

 the apical cells of the tegmina are reticulate, while there are no 

 cross veinlets at all in Pcltodictya from the apical margin right up 

 to the subapical line. 



It may be useful to point out that Mr. Distant's correction of 

 the misprint in the reference to the figures of Vanna viticnsis is 

 itself incorrect. As mentioned in the 'Errata' at the commence- 

 ment of the volume, Vanna viticnsis adult is figured PI. XXVIII, 

 figs. 7-9 and the nymph on PI. XXVII, figs. 6-7. 



The following have been described as Tropiduchinae : 



Ficarasa anstralasiac Distant 1907, op. c, 287, Queensland (very 



probably belongs to my genus Pcltodictya) . 

 Magia snboccllata Distant, op. c. 288, do. 



I regard the following genera as Tropiduchine : 



Plcgmatoptcra, placed in the Dictyphorinae by Stal, 

 Kiismna and Varnia, placed by Distant in the Lophopinae. I 

 do not regard the following genera as belonging to tliis sub-
