Pantaleon dorsalis Matsumura. 



1912. Ccntrotus dorsalis Mats. Die Cicadinen Japans, p. 18. 



It is evident from the original description- that this insect 

 should be placed in the genus Pantaleon which Distant has 

 erected^ for the reception of Centrotus montifer Walker. Pro- 

 fessor Matsumura's description of the " gegabelt " suprahumerals 

 and the " halbkreisf ormig " posterior process (which perhaps 

 suggested the specific name) shows that the species cannot be a 

 true Centrotus and leaves little doubt as to its position in 

 Pantaleon. 



Antialcidas erectus sp. nov. (Figs. 7 and 8). 



Entirely ferruginous except head, lower half of metopid- 

 ium and undersurface of horns which are ferruginous- 

 brown; suprahumeral horns tricarinate, extending outward 

 and upw.ard, each horn about as long as the distance between 

 their bases ; posterior elevation very high, subtriangular, 

 laterally compressed ; tegmina ferruginous, semiopaque, 

 pointed at tips ; legs and undersurface of body ferruginous. 



Head somewhat wider than long, subquadrate, ferrugin- 

 ous-brown, finely punctate, sparingly pubescent; base sinu- 

 ately convex ; eyes wider than high, gray, not prominent ; 

 ocelli small, glassy, not prominent, about equidistant from 

 each other and from the eyes and situated well above a line 

 passing through centers of eyes ; inferior margins of genae 

 nearly straight, sloping downwards from eyes, angular below 

 eyes; clypeus longer than wide, extending for about half its 

 length below inferior margins of gense, lateral margins con- 

 tinuing in an almost straight line the line of the inferior 

 margins of gense, tip rounded, deflexed, pilose. 



Pronotum ferruginous, darker at base of head and below 

 suprahumerals, finely punctate, sparingly pubescent with 

 grayish hairs ; metopidium wider than high, perpendicular 

 above the head, upper half ferruginous, lower half dark fer- 

 ruginous-brown ; median carina strongly percurrent ; humeral 

 angles triangular, blunt, not prominent; suprahumeral horns
