V. — The Horn opt era of Indo-China. 

 By W. L. Distant. 



Fara. Cicadidae. 



For some time Mon. R. Vitalis de Salvaza lias sent me 

 collections of Homoptera from tliis very interesting region, 

 and I believe be intends at some future date to publish an 

 iUustrated work on the insect fauna of Indo-China. The 

 Homoptera already received are from tbe frontier of Laos, 

 East Aniiam, and from Lao Kay and Chapa in Tonkin. In 

 this contril)ution I give a rough list of the s|)ecies already 

 receiyed, which number fifty-five, belonging to the family 

 Cicadidse alone. Examples of all these, including types and 

 nuiques, are placed in the collection of the British Museum, 

 which, as regards tbis family, is now by far the largest and 

 most complete in the world. 



I also add the descriptions of si.x new species.
