In A. S. E. F. (4 ser.) i, p. 617 (1861), St^l unites Tettigia and 

 Cicadatra and makes them subgenera of the united genus. Fieber (1. c.) 

 keeps them separate and describes Cicadatra as having the anterior 

 femora trispinose : pronotum trapezoidal : covering of the drums semi- 

 oval or broadly triangular, concealing more or less the drums, and more-

 of the tegmina, the angles separated by a short, oblique, vein : rostrum 

 reaching only the middle or the usually convex end of the mesosternum. 

 In Tettigia, the anterior femora are bispinose : pronotum trapezoidally
