 CICADA FLAVOSTRIATA. 



SPECIFIC CHARACTER. 



Black. Head and Thorax tranfverfely ftreaked with yellow ; 

 ilreaks on the wing-cafes of the fame colour, difpofed longitudinally. 



Cicada Flavostriata : -nigra, capite thoraceque tranfverfe 

 elytrifque longitudinaliter flavo-ftriatis. 



This Infe£l has been confounded with the Cicada ftriata of LinnetuSf 

 Faun. Suec. 887. and Syji. Nat. 709. n. 30. in general ; but it is 

 certainly not that fpecies. Linnasus refers to Gesff. i. p. 424. n. 20. 

 for C.Jiric^a, wherein it is thus defcribed ; " Head pale green, with 

 two black points in front, and four near the bafe ; Thorax of the 

 fame colour, marked with feveral lefs diftinft black fpots alfo," We 

 therefore confider our C. flavoftriata as a new fpecies.
