DISTANT— RHYNCHOTA. PART II: SUBORDER HOMOPTERA 275 



without doubt Cicada pulverulenta Dist. The latter of these species is found in, 

 and was described from, Madagascai'. Although Madagascar is richly represented in 

 this family, we are only enabled to record two species from the Seychelles. At present 

 however the Hawaiian fauna is without a representative, and this is the status of 

 many other of the smaller islands in the Seychelles region. 



Subfamily Cicadinse. 



140. Yanga seychellensis. 



Yanga seychellensis Dist., Gen. Insect. Fasc. 142, p. 13 (1912) ; Trans. Linn. Soc. 

 London, Zool. xvi. PL 11, fig. 22 a, h (1913). 



Yanga andriana Dist., Trans. Linn. Soc. London, Zool. xiii. p. 41 (1909). 



Loc. Seychelles. Praslin. Mahe : from near Morne Blanc, Cascade Estate 

 (E. G. B. Meade- Waldo). 



I originally recorded this species as Y. andriana from an examination of two 

 or three discoloured specimens (supra, 1909), but subsequently Mr Scott supplied a 

 number of fresh examples which proved the species to be a distinct one. A pupa- 

 case, evidently of this species, is labelled " Silhouette." Mr Meade- Waldo took this 

 species at light. 



141. Cicada pulverulenta. 



Cicada pulverulenta Dist., Trans. Ent. Soc. London, 1905, p. 199 ; Trans. Linn. 

 Soc. London, Zool. xiii. p. 41, PL 4, fig. 8 a, 6 (1909). 



Loc. Seychelles. Mahe : from near Morne Blanc and from Cascade Estate, both 

 about 800 feet, and other locahties, 1905 and 1908 — -9 : frequently attracted by light. 

 Aldabra, 1908 — 9 (Fryer), Madagascar. 



Family Fulgoridse. 



This family is not well represented in the Seychelles. Neither of the subfamilies 

 Fulgorinse nor Eurybrachydinge are found in this collection, and all that can be 

 enumerated are moderately small and obscure species. The subfamilies Dictyophorinee, 

 Tropiduchinse and Achilinse are each represented by one genus and one species only. 



Subfamily Dictyophorinse. 



Only one genus, here described as new, can be included in this subfamily. The 

 genus Dictyophora so widely distributed is unrepresented in the collection. 



AsELGEOiDES, gen. nov. 



Head produced, elongate, sulcate, eyes elongate, compressed ; face elongate, 

 centrally and laterally carinate, apex narrowed, widened to the area of the eyes and 

 then obliquely narrowed to base of clypeus which is centrally carinate; rostrum 

 passing the posterior coxae ; pronotum short, posterior margin obliquely concave ; 

 mesonotum tricarinate ; posterior tibiae with two spines, one before and the other
