C. spumaria; Cicada spumaria, L.; Res., Insect., II, Locust., 
xxiii. Brown, with two white spots on the elytra near their ex- 
terior margin. Its larva lives on leaves in a spumous and white 
fluid, called Ecume printaniére, Crachat de Grenouille(2). 
In the other Cicadariz that complete this family, and which in the 
early works of Fabricius composed his genus Cicada, the prothorax 
is not prolonged posteriorly (or hardly not) and terminates at the 
height of the origin of the elytra in a straight line, or in one that is 
nearly so, the length of which is almost equal to the width of the 
body. The scutellum, measured at base, occupies a large portion 
of this breadth. 
Two very prominent eyes, a head projecting somewhat beyond 
those organs, but depressed anteriorly, and forming a sort of arch 
at the summit of the elevated portion of the face, situated directly 
beneath, two superior posterior ocelli, and, finally, by an ex- 
ception in this division, legs destitute of spines or teeth, distinguish 
the

To this subgenus belongs the species which he calls the 
E. obtecta; Cercopis erice, Arh., Faun. Insect., III, 24. It 
is about one line in length; reddish and spotted with white; the 
elytra are marked with two oblique bands of the same colour, 
(1) The Cicada adspersa and marmorata, Fab.; his Fulgora adscendens, &c. 1 
presume that several other species of the genus Cicada of this author, and of the 
Tettigonia of M. Germar, should also be referred to it; my collection of them, 
however, not Being sufficiently numerous, I content myself with these indicia. 
(2) This species, and some other Cercopes of Fabricius form the genus Aphro- 
phora of M. Germar. The posterior margin of the head is concave, and their _ 
simple eyes are more distant from each other than in Cercopis Pee See his
