126 MR. W. L, DISTANT ON UNDESCRIBED CICADID&. [Jan. 17, 
gined with fuscous, a faint 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 tibize, rostrum, tarsi, and apical segment of 
abdomen pale testaceous. Tegmina and wings pale hyaline ; tegmina 
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, aud 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 coxee. Face with a central impression, 
and very strongly striated transversely. 
Long. 21 millim.; exp. tegm. 51 millim. 
Hab. Fiji Islands. (Mus. Godeffroy.) 
This species is closely allied to C. 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. 
TIBICEN BURKE], n. sp. (Plate VII. figs. 3, 3a, 30.) 
3+ 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 astraight 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 tibize 
and apex of tarsi fuscous, apical half of tibize somewhat castaneous. 
Intermediate and posterior legs with the coxz luteous; femora pitchy, 
with the apices luteous ; intermediate tibize castaneous, with the base 
ochraceous, posterior tibiee ochraceous. Abdomen beneath black, 
with the apical segment and anal appendage testaceous. Tegmina 
and wings pale hyaline; tegmina with the costal membrane and basal
