f. 2, under the name Cicada pulchella; Mr. Westwood in the In- 
troduction, p. 54, describes it as Cicada sulphurea, Hope’s MSS., 
the specific name pulchella bemg pre-occupied. In the Museum 
cabinet are several specimens named Geana pulchella. 
Hvrcuys, Serville and Amyot. 
Cicada (Huechys) vidua, White. EHlytra deep uniform blackish 
brown. Wings white, transparent, slightly tinged with brownish 
round the edge. Head black, nasus of a clear gamboge-yellow, 
very prominent. Thorax black, two large gamboge-yellow spots 
on mesothorax. Body above black in male, brownish in female. 
Abdomen in the middle, below, and at the end vermilion-red ; in 
the female the sides of the abdomen at the end are also red. 
In one specimen in the Museum (a female) are two or three 
lighter streaks on the elytra not far from the posterior margin. 
Expanse of wings from 1 inch 83 lines to 2 inches 4 lines. 
Hab. New Holland? 
In the division Huechys come Cicada (H.) splendidula from the 
East Indies, described by Fabricius (Syst. Rh. 42..49), and 
figured in Donovan’s ‘ Insects of China,’ fig. * ***, and Cicada 
(H.) octonotata, Westwood (Arc. Ent. t. 57. fig. 2), both which 
species are in the Museum collection. 
Terricarcta, White, in the Appendix to Eyre’s Travels in Au- 
stralia, 1. 412 (Aug. 1845). 
Head very small, in front blunt ; lateral ocelli close to the eyes, 
the space between them furnished with long hairs. Prothorax 
very large, extending back in a rounded form beyond the base of 
the hind wings, sharp-pointed on the sides ; the back convex and 
wrinkled. Body and under parts densely clothed with hair. 
This genus differs from all the Stridulantes in the size and 
shape of the prothorax: in the neuration of the wing it is allied 
to Platypleura (Serville and Amyot) ; in the size of the head and 
the hairiness of the body it approaches Carineta (Serv. and Am.). 
Tettigarcta tomentosa, White, l. c. 413. tab. 4. fig.4. Brown- 
ish ash, hairs on the upper part of the body short, deep brown, 
hairs on the sides and under parts long and gray. Prothorax

gray hairs. Elytra spotted and varied with brown. Wings clear, 
somewhat ferruginous at the base.
