ON THE MOEPHOLOGY AND CLASSIFICATION OF THE 

 AUCHENOKRHYNCHOUS HOMOPTERA. 



By Dr. H. J. Hansen. (^ 

 (Continued from p. 236.) 



IV. 



As above mentioned, I accept the classification of the 

 Auchenorrhynclious Homoptera into four families (proposed by 

 Stal in ' Hemiptera Afeicana,' vol. iv.), with the limitations for 

 these given by him. At the same time, Stal's fundaments of this 

 system are very defective, so that not one of the later authors, 

 not once even J. Sahlberg, has adopted them. I now attempt 

 to collect the chief points of the new results of my researches, 

 with the earlier known facts for an analytical table of the family 

 characters. 



The exclusive characters are printed in italics, the not absolutely 

 exclusive hut ivell characterized structures are jJf'i'i^ted in ordinary 

 type. 



When one has to deal with several types (here families) the 

 nature of the analytical table sometimes causes a difficulty, i. c. 

 the strong emphasizing of a character absolutely peculiar to one 

 family (for instance, the absence of an empodium in the Stridu- 

 lantia in contradistinction to its presence in all the other families) ; 

 I have endeavoured to obtain this by the employment of special 

 printing; square brackets are used for sentences inserted, and 

 are not used when a special point is to be brought into relief.

 organs, Jiagellum loith several or many sensory fovecs. Intermediate
