17. Cicada germana n. sp. (PL IV fig. 3, a»b). 



Allied to C. pontianaka Dist. but differing by the much paler 

 coloration, the abdomen above testaceous blackish at base and 

 with a somewhat obscure narrow central longitudinal dark 

 fascia ; tegmina and wings pale hyaline with bluish reflections, 

 the first with the costal membrane greenish, and the transverse 

 veins at bases of second and third apical areas not infuscated 

 as in C. pontianaka. 



This species also differs from C. pontianaka by the rostrum 

 only reaching the intermediate coxae and by the more tumid 

 and less strongly striated face. 



Long. excl. tegm. 30 millim. Exp. tegm. 85 millim. 



Hab. Burma : Teinzò. 



Kareuia, gen. nov. 



The principal characteristics of this genus are the following: 

 viz. the anterior margins of the sides of the first dorsal segment 

 of the abdomen neither produced nor sending forward a lobe 

 thus rendering the tympana visible ; the lateral areas of the 

 basal cruciform elevation to mesosternum much narrowed, the 

 margins oblique ; basal cell of tegmina about twice as long as 

 broad with ulnar vein emitted at its extreme apex. 



The head is depressed, rounded, somewhat narrower than the 

 anterior margin of the pronotum. Pronotum more than twice as 

 broad as long , widened posteriorly , the lateral margins am- 

 pliateli and obscurely toothed. Mesonotum somewhat large, the 

 cruciform basal elevation elongated. Abdomen short and robust, 

 about equal in length to that of pro- and mesonotum combined. 

 Anterior femora strongly toothed beneath. Rostrum slightly 

 passing the posterior coxae. Opercula small and widely separated.
