IIOMOPTERA. 



Fam. CicadidaB. 



Piof. Poulton recently placed in my hands for identification 

 a very interesting Cic;idid from Algeria, of which he had 

 received tiiree specimens, collected by Dr. iSeitz, This 

 species belongs to a genus whicl), with two or three others 

 appertaining to the subfam. Tibicininae, are recognized by fiie 

 excavated ventral surface in the male, medially longiiudi- 

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

 broad, fiat, and talc-like in appearance. 



The three genera here enumerated may be separated by tiie 

 following ciiaractiMS : — 



A. Wings with five apical areas Adeniana. 



B. Wings witli six npicnl areas. 



a. Head witli front |)roMiin(;nlly projecting, the margins 



of front and verlox discontinnous and more or less 



at right angles to eacli other Zoiiffa. 



b. Antenniferous tubercles very large and prominent 



and reaching the anterior niar^'in of tlie front, thus 



jiiviii'j the head a trun'^ate appuarauco Lmnigwuna.
