128 MR. \V. L. DISTANT ON UNOESCRIBED CICADID.E. [Jan. 17, 



pale ochraceous. Mesouotiim with two central obconical spots 

 bordered with ochraceous, a curved fascia on each side of disk con- 

 nected with anterior branches of cruciform elevation ochraceous, and 

 a lateral black fascia bordered outwardly (anteriorly) jind inwardly 

 (posteriorly) with ochraceous ; basal elevation ochraceous with a 

 black spot at centre and one on each branch near apex. Abdomen 

 sparingly pilose, with the posterior segmental margins ochraceous. 

 Body beneath and legs ochraceous ; face castaneous ; disk of abdomen 

 more or less castaneous, posterior segmental margins pale, anal ap- 

 pendage with a central longitudinal fuscous streak. Tegmina and 

 wings pale hyaline ; tegmina with the veins fuscous, anastomoses 

 and connecting longitudinal veins (excepting that before the last 

 and lower anastomosis) infuscated, apices of longitudinal veins nar- 

 rowly infuscated. 



The body is short, the front of the head produced and prominent, 

 the face long and convex, rostnim reaching posterior coxae ; opercula 

 small, not covering metasteruum. 



Long. 18 millim.; exp. tegm. 60 millim. 



Hab. Australia, Swan River. (Coll. Dist.) 



This species is allied to T. interriipta. Walk., but larger, body 

 shorter and more robust, and head with the front much more pro- 

 duced.

2 . Body above ochraceous. Head with two small spots at base of 

 front, a spot near anterior lateral angle of vertex, and area of the 

 ocelli fuscous; eyes tinged with fuscous. Prouotum with two cen- 

 tral longitudinal black fasciae sinuated at centre and meeting on 

 anterior and posterior margins ; a small oblique fascia commencing 

 from behind eyes and terminating on lateral margins also fuscous. 

 Mesonotum with two small obconical spots, inwardly margined with 

 fuscous, and an elongate fuscous spot on disk in front of basal ele- 

 vation. Scutellum \\ith a central fuscous spot, which is continued 

 and narrowed on the first three segments of the abdomen ; anal ap- 

 pendage with a large fuscous spot on each side. Body beneath and 

 legs pale ochraceous, abdominal segments with a transverse series of 

 broad fuscous fasciae. Tegmina and wings pale hyaline ; tegmina 

 with the costal membrane and basal half of venation ochraceous, 

 transverse veins at bases of first and second ulnar areas, anastomoses 

 with some of the connecting venation, apical longitudinal veins, 

 apical margins of apical areas, and claval margin fuscous ; transverse 

 veins at bases of second and third apical areas broadly infuscated. 



The head has the front prominently produced; and its width, in- 

 cluding outer margin of eyes, is less than that of the base of the 

 pronotum ; the face is large, elongate, and very convex, with a faint 

 longitudinal impression, and somewhat obscure transverse striations. 

 The rostrum reaches the posterior coxae. 



Long. 11 millim.; exp. tegm. 38 millim.
