Allied to^. Brevis, but quite distinct : P. Simplex also 

 seems to b^ somewhat different, although possibly only a 

 variety of F. Brevis : the type has the fourth discoidal 

 areolet completely divided through the centre by a trans- 

 verse vein, but the position of this vein is not (juite the 

 same on the two opposite tegmina.

 The^Tetti(/onia Affinis of Pabricius has ieen turned out 

 oi^Platijpleura as the type of Stal's genus Pmcilopsaltria : 

 as I do not know the species, I am quite content to leave 

 it so, although from the description I had supposed it to 

 allied tPPlati/jjlenra Fulviejera. ^ 



^ Cicada {Platifpleura) Poeyi, Sagra: and \Vall-erii of 

 Guerin (Hist, fisica de la isla de Culja vii., p. 178 ; 1857) 

 are probably species oPZammara.
