  Prof. 
  Poulton 
  recently 
  placed 
  in 
  my 
  hands 
  for 
  identification 
  

   a 
  very 
  interesting 
  Cicadid 
  from 
  Algeria, 
  of 
  which 
  he 
  had 
  

   received 
  three 
  specimens, 
  collected 
  by 
  Dr. 
  Seifz- 
  This 
  

   species 
  belongs 
  to 
  a 
  genus 
  which, 
  with 
  two 
  or 
  three 
  otiiers 
  

   appertaining 
  to 
  the 
  subfam. 
  Tibicininse, 
  are 
  recognized 
  by 
  tlie 
  

   excavated 
  ventral 
  surface 
  in 
  the 
  male, 
  medially 
  longiiudi- 
  

   nally 
  carinate, 
  with 
  the 
  second, 
  third, 
  and 
  fourth 
  segments 
  

   broad, 
  flat, 
  and 
  talc-like 
  in 
  appearance. 
  

  

  The 
  three 
  genera 
  here 
  enumerated 
  may 
  be 
  separated 
  by 
  the 
  

   following 
  characters 
  : 
  — 
  

  

  A. 
  Wings 
  with 
  five 
  apical 
  areas 
  Adeniana. 
  

  

  B. 
  Wings 
  witli 
  six 
  apical 
  areas. 
  

  

  a. 
  Head 
  witli 
  front 
  prominently 
  projecting, 
  the 
  margins 
  

  

  of 
  front 
  and 
  vertex 
  discontinuous 
  and 
  more 
  or 
  less 
  

  

  at 
  right 
  angles 
  to 
  each 
  other 
  Zouga. 
  

  

  b. 
  Antenniferous 
  tubercles 
  very 
  large 
  and 
  prominent 
  

  

  and 
  reaching 
  the 
  anterior 
  margin 
  of 
  the 
  front, 
  thus 
  

  

  giving 
  the 
  head 
  a 
  truncate 
  appearance 
  Lunnffw/tiin.
