ViK'ATA Distant. 



This genus should be placed in the Cixiidae. I have one species 

 from the Philippines in which the males have the large antennae charac- 

 teristic of the o^enus and the females these orsfans much smaller and 

 almost normal. 



The genera Kermesia Dist., Alara Dist., Inxwala Dist., Sii^va 

 Kirk., and ^isi Melichar, I reject from the Derhidae. They have the 

 median ocelli and the glandular surface on the female pygofer common 

 to many Cixiidae. 



I have not seen authentic specimens of the following genera: — 

 Derihia, JPersis, Fescenniay JSTehrissa, Flaccia, Lahicerus.
