On various genera of the Ho7nopteroiis family Membracid^, ivith 

 descriptions of new species, and a new genvs in the collection 

 of the British Museum ; by Arthur Gakdixkr Butler, 

 F.L.S., F.Z.S., &c. 



In this, my second paper on the Memhracidiv, I have given an , 

 enumeration of the species referable to the following genera of'/ 

 Darnince — Darnis, Ochrolomia, Stictopelta, Leptosticta, Ilebetica 

 Cryptoptera, Dectonura, Alcmeone, Hyphinoe, Aconophon, 

 Eumela, Comhophora, Oinolon, Nassunia, R/ie.ria, Ueteronotiis, 

 and Heniconotus ; and, Avith the exception of Emnela, Comh- 

 phora, and Nassunia, have given references to the original 

 descriptions and figures of the species. 



As usual, I have been very careful to examine into th( ] 

 synonymy of each species for myself, and I have been astonished 

 at the number of careless blunders which one author has copied 

 from another doAvn to the present time. ;
