CPCADA DIL AT Aw A, 
HEMIPTERA. 
Shells or upper Wings, femi cruftaceous, divided by an oblique 
future, and incumbent on each other. Beak bent down. 
GENERIC CHARACTER. 
Antennz taper. Shells membraneous. In each foot three joints, 
Hind legs {trong for leaping. . 
SPECIFIG CHARACTER. 
Entirely brown, pale with faint whitifh and dark lines, a {mall 
black fpot on the center of each wing. 
A figure of this Infect is given in Villers’s Entomology as a native 
of France; in this he follows the authority of Fourcroy, who has 
a defcription of the fame fpecies in his Catalogue of Infeéts, found 
in the environs of Paris. This laft author calls it Le Cigale renflée, 
from its puffed or {welled appearance. ‘The name given by: Villers 
is Cicada dilatata. 
The confufion made by Babricius, in his alterations of the Lin- 
naan genera, renders it doubtful whether he has defcribed this Infe@, 
though, frog its being commonly found in moft parts of Europe, 
we mutt fuppofe he has not paffed over it without notice: we have 
examined his laft work, (Entomologia Syftematica, &c.) and cannot 
find an Infect anfwering our fpecies with any reference either to 
Fourcroy or Villers, we therefore prefer the fpecific name given by 
the latter author. 
Is found in June; and is lefs common than any Infect of the fame 
genus hitherto given in this work.
