1874.] MR. A. G. BUTLER ON NEW SPECIES OF FULGORA. 97 



5. List of the Species of Fulgora, with Descriptions of New 

 Forms in the Collection of the British Museum. By 

 Arthur G. Butler, F.L.S., F.Z.S., &c. 



[Received December 9, 1873.] 

 (Plate XV.) 



Dr. Stal has very rightly restored the designation Fulgora to the 

 group of Homopterous insects comprising the genus Hotinus of 

 Amyot and Serville ; this genus is confined to the Old World, most 

 of the species occurring in the Eastern Archipelago. 



The following list contains the whole of the species at present 

 known to science, with descriptions of three beautiful new species in 

 the National Collection ; the number of species now amounts to 

 twenty-eight.
