The Cicada Cornuta is a native of Germany and other parts of Eu- 
rope, as well as of England; with us it is by no means common. It is 
met with in the month of May, or June; Berkenhout fays it is 
found on trees, ferns; &c. I have taken two fpecimens this feafon, one 
at Coombe-wood, Surrey, the other at Dartford; they were both con- 
 cealed cn the under fides of fome dock leaves. 
At Fig. I. the creature is reprefented of the natural fize, with the 
wings expanded; at Fig. II. one is given in a ftanding pofition ; 
and at Fig. III. the front of the head and fingularly conftructed tho- 
rax is fhewn as they appear before the fpeculum of an opaque mi- 
crofcope. 
Fabricius has placed this Infect ina divifion of the feventh Clafs of 
his Genera Infectorum, Ryncota Membracis.
