Cekcopis, Fab. Germ. — Aphrophora, Germ. 



Where the third joint of the antennae is conical and terminated by 

 an inarticulated seta. 



C. samjuinolenta, Fah. ; Cifjafe a f aches rouges, Geoff., In- 

 sect., II, vii, .5. Four lines in length ; black, with six red spots 

 on the elytra. — -In woods. 



CC.spumaria;^icada spumaria, L. ; Roes., Insect., II, Locust., 

 xxiii. Brown, with two white spots on the elytra near their ex- 

 terior margin. Its larva lives on leaves in a spum(jus and 

 white fluid, called Ecume printaniere, Cruchat de Grenouille*. 

 In the other CicadarifB that complete this family, and which in the 

 early works of Fabricius composed his genus Cicada, the prothorax 

 is not prolonged posteriorly (or hardly not) and terminates at the 

 height of the origin of the elytra in a straight line, or in one that is 

 nearly so, the length of which is almost equal to the width of the 

 body. The scutellum, measured at base, occupies a large portion of 

 this breadth. 



Two very prominent eyes, a head projecting somewhat beyond 

 those organs, but depressed anteriorly, and forming a sort of arch at 

 the summit of the elevated portion of the face, situated directly be- 

 neath, two superior posterior ocelli, and, finally, by an exception in 

 this division, legs destitute of spines or teeth, distinguish the 



^<)EuLOPA, Fall. 



To^his subgenus>elongs the species which he calls the 

 v^wE. ohtectcH^ercopis ericce, Arh., Faun. Insect., Ill, 24, It 

 is about one line in length ; reddish and spotted with white ; the 

 elytra are marked with two oblique bands of the same colour, 

 and numerous and projecting nervures. The head is broad and 

 as if truncated anteriorly f . 



EupELix, Germ. 



Where the head is much flattened and forms an elongated triangle, 

 with the ocelli situated before the ordinary eyes on its edges, which 

 are prolonged over those organs and intersect them longitudinally 

 throughout the greater portion of their extent |. 



V t) Penthimia, Ger7n. 



Where the antennae are inserted in a large fossula, which narrows, 

 more than is usual, the space comprised between the eyes. 



The head, which viewed from above appears semicircular and gra- 

 dually inclined anteriorly, is rounded, and its edges project above this 



of M. Germar. The posterior maigin of tbe head is concave, and their simple eyes 

 are uiore distant from each other than in Cercopis proper. See his Magas. der En- 

 tom., TV.
