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



SiKKiM : Gopaldhara, Rungbong Valley {H. Stevens). 



Tlie two sexes of this interesting insect are remarkably 

 dissimilar. The male is only very thinly clothed with pale 

 seta^ on its upper surface, but wath a conspicuous tuft on 

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

 of the pronotum. The elytra are gently expanded at the 

 sides, the pyj^idium is smooth and shining and not covered 

 by the elytra. 



Ill 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 vei'y long erect dark hairs 

 thinly distributed amongst tlie rest. The elytra are mode- 

 rately closely clothed with rather coarse decumbent yt^llow 

 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. 



LIl. — Description of a new Genus and Species of Cicadidye 

 from Cuba. By W. L. DISTANT. 



A SPECIMEN of tliis interesting genus and species was recently 

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

 from Australia and various neotropical localities for identifica- 

 tion. Tlie latter he had received from Herr Rolle, a well- 

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

 collection of tlie British Museum.
