V. — The Homojdera of Tndo-Cliiiia. 

 By W. L. Distant. 



Fani. Cicadidae. 



For some time Mon. R. Vitalis de Salvaza has sent me 

 colleetions of Homoptera from tliis very interesting region, 

 and I l)e]ieve lie intends at some future date to publish an 

 illustrated work on the insect fauna of Indo-Ciiina. The 

 Homoptera already received are from the fronti'-r of Laos, 

 East Annam, and from Lao Kay and Chapa in Tonkin. In 

 this contribution I give a rough list of the species already 

 received, wliich uuml)er fifty-five, belonging to the family 

 Cicadid'cC alone. Examples of all these, including types and 

 uniques, are placed in the cf)llcctioii of the Britisli Museum, 

 which, as regard-s this family, is now by far tiie largest and 

 most complete in the world, 



I also add the descriptions of six new species.
