GENERA AND SPECIES. 195 



^ Gen. 1059. — Aphrodes. Curt. 



Suboval : head flat or hollowed above, subtrigonate-lunate, wedge- 

 shaped in profile, face suborbicular, clypeus slightly emarginate 

 on each side : antennae inserted in cavities under the forehead, 

 small, triarticulate, 2 first joints very short, 3d slender and seti- 

 form : rostrum short and cylindric : eyes ovate, scarcely pro- 

 jecting beyond the thorax : ocelli very minute, remote, and placed 

 above the margin of the forehead : thorax transverse ovate-lunate ; 

 scutellum trigonate, cuspidate : superior wings convex -deflexed, 

 not longer than the body : posterior tibiae very long, broad and 

 curved, with series of long spines on the margins. 



9. Testudo. Curt. 



Shining, pale dirty ochre, an interrupted brown band across the 

 middle of the wings, and another near the apex : tips of tibiae and 

 tarsi piceous, hinder legs, with the tips of the thighs, the tibiae, 

 and tarsi, excepting the base, of the same colour. (Length If 

 line.) 



I have a single specimeji of this insect, and have scarcely 

 any doubt that Linnaeus's Cicada bifasciata belongs to this 

 genus, which, as well as the others above described, are at once 

 distinguished from Tettigonia by their long spined posterior 

 tibi^, as well as by their shorter rostrums. 



Fcmi. FULGORID^. 



'^' Gen. 1066. — Criomorphus. Curt. 



Cylindric-ovate : head narrow, semicircular, face trigonate with lon- 

 gitudinal carinae, eyes large and not very remote, with a notch 

 beneath, and a large groove to receive the antennae, which are tri- 

 articulate, 1st and 2d joints large, the latter ovate and tubercu- 

 lated, the 3d a very fine long hair : rostrum rather long and 

 linear : thorax very short and broad, overlapped by the eyes : 

 scutellum broad, cuspidate-trigonate : superior wings very short, 

 subquadrate or ovate, with a few longitudinal nervures : inferior 

 none : abdomen extending far beyond the wings, conical : posterior 

 legs a little the longest, their tibiae subeylindric, dilated towards 

 the apex, where there are several small and one large serrated 

 spine : tarsi triarticulate, terminal joint the longest, except in the 

 posterior pair in which the basal one is elongated. 



S. Albomarginatus. Curt. 



Subochraceus : antennae, head, thorax, and abdomen piceous, the 

 1st with the tips of the joints feiTuginous, the 2d with the carina;
