On a neio Genus and Species of Cicadidse. 455 



$ , pronoto paulo breviori, angulis minus acutis, dorso densissime 

 falvo-hirto, pilis longioribus obscaris sparsis ; elytris ubique 

 setis griseis baud minutis vestitis ; propygidio et pygidio similiter 

 vestitis, detectis. 



Long. 8 - 5-10 mm. ; lat. max. 4*5-5 mm. 



Sikkim : Gopaldhara, Rungbong Valley (H. Stevens). 



The two sexes of this interesting insect are remarkably 

 dissimilar. The male is only very thinly clothed with pale 

 setre on its upper surface, but with a conspicuous tuft on 

 each side of the scutellum and one in the middle of the base 

 of the pronotum. The elytra are gently expanded at the 

 sides, the pygidium is smooth and shining and not covered 

 by the elytra. 



In the female the pronotum is very densely clothed with 

 a uniform erect golden-yellow pubescence, with a narrow 

 median line of a paler yellow and very long erect dark hairs 

 thinly distributed amongst the rest. The elytra are mode- 

 rately closely clothed with rather coarse decumbent yellow 

 hairs, with similar long dark hairs scattered thinly amongst 

 them, and the pygidium and propygidium are similarly 

 clothed and both exposed. The pronotum is less narrowed 

 in front, with its front, hind, and lateral angles less sharp 

 than in the male.

 from Cuba. By W. L. Distant. 



A SPECIMEN of this interesting genus and species was recently 

 sent to me by Mr. Ashton of Sydney among other Cicadidaj 

 from Australia and various neotropical localities for identifica- 

 tion. The latter he had received from Herr Iiolle, a well- 

 known dealer in Berlin, and I have placed the type in the 

 collection of the British Museum.
