I2(i MR. W. L. DISTANT ON UNDESCRIBED CICADID^. [Jan. 17, 



gined with fuscous, a faiut broken sublateral fascia on each side, an 

 irregular spot on disk, and a small rounded spot in front of each 

 anterior branch of basal cruciform elevation fuscous. Abdomen be- 

 coming faintly testaceous towards apex ; body beneath and legs pale 

 greenish ; apices of the tibiae, rostrum, tarsi, and apical segment of 

 abdomen pale testaceous. Tegmina and wings pale hyaline ; tegmiua 

 with the costal membrane pale greenish, the apical portion of the 

 venation fuscous. 



The abdomen is elongate, and much attenuated towards apex, the 

 dorsal surface of the basal segment is somewhat rounded and produced 

 anteriorly, and sinuated centrally on the posterior margin. The head, 

 including outer margin of eyes (which are very large and promi- 

 nent), is very little narrower than base of pronotum. The opercula 

 reach the base of the third abdominal segment, and are broadly 

 and deeply sinuate on their outer margin, with the apices rounded. 

 Rostrum reaching posterior coxoe. Face with a central impression, 

 and very strongly striated transversely. 



Long. 21 millim. ; exp. tegm. 51 millini. 



Hab. Fiji Islands. (Mus. Godeflfroy.) 



This species is closely allied to 0. distans, Walk., which is also 

 found in the same locality. From this it differs in being only one 

 half the size, and in having the dorsal surface of the basal segment of 

 the abdomen sinuated behind, besides which the head is more pro- 

 duced in front and wider between the eyes relative to the width of the 

 pronotum at the base. The opercula also are longer, as in Walker's 

 species they do not reach the apex of the third abdominal segment.

S • Head castaneous, area of the ocelli and two spots at base black, 

 base ochraceous, more or less margined with black; pronotum ochra- 

 ceous, with a central hourglass-shaped fuscous fascia, the centre of 

 which is longitudinally ochraceous ; on each side of disk is a small 

 black curved fascia ; oblique striee, inner borders of lateral margins, 

 lateral angles, and anterior border of posterior margin also blackish. 

 Mesonotum black, with a small central angulated spot on disk, on 

 each side of which is a waved and angulated fascia, narrowest and com- 

 mencing on anterior margin and joined to anterior branches of basal 

 cruciform elevation, followed by a straight sublateral fascia, ochraceous. 

 Cruciform basal elevation dull ochraceous. Abdomen black, sparingly 

 pilose ; posterior margin of apical segment and anal appendage tes- 

 taceous. Underside of head, sternum, and opercula ochraceous and 

 pubescent, the last with the disk fuscous and posterior margin nar- 

 rowly but clearly ochraceous. Face castaneous with the centre black. 

 Anterior legs ochraceous, femora streaked with fuscous, base of tibiae 

 and apex of tarsi fuscous, apical half of tibias somewhat castaneous. 

 Intermediate and posterior legs with the coxte luteous ; femora pitchy, 

 with the apices luteous ; intermediate tibiae castaneous, with the base 

 ochraceous, posterior tibiae ochraceous. Abdomen beneath black, 

 with the apical segment and anal appendage testaceous. Tegmina 

 and wings pale hyaline; tegmina witli the costal membrane and basal
