Australian Cicadidae. 105 



Cryptotympana pustulata, Dist. Mon. Orient. Cicad., p. 86, 

 pi. xi., figs. 10 a, b, 1891. 



That this species has been found in Australia is very doubt- 

 ful. It is recorded by Goding and Froggatt on the authority of 

 one specimen, determined by Walker in the National Museum, 

 Melbourne. 



Several specimens in Coll. H.A., from China. 



Dundubia, Amyot nnd Serville. 



Type D. mannifera, Linnaeus. 



Dundubia mannifera, Linn. 



This species is regarded by Distant (Syn. Cat. Horn. Cicad., 

 1906), as of Australian habitat. Moulton in his published 

 "" Material for a Fauna Borniensis," follows Distant. It may, 

 of course, have been found here, but there are*no specimens from 

 Australia in any of the museum collections I have examined. I 

 "have, however, several specimen's from Borneo and Java, and 

 it is just conceivable that the range may include Australia. 



Sub-family GAEANINAE, Dist. 



This sub-family is distinguished by the partially cryptic tym- 

 pana. The degree of concealment varies very considerably, the 

 tympanal coverings being in some cases, as in Tamasa, almost 

 obsolete, and in others, such as Tettigia, fairly well developed. 

 South America is the home of the sub-family, practically all the 

 larger species there belonging to the Gaeaninae. This sub-family, 

 liowever, is very poorly represented in Australia. 



Division Cicadatraria, Distant. 



Genus Tettigia, Amyot and Serville. 



Type, T. orni, Linnaeus (Europe.) 



Tettigia interrupta, Walk. 



Cicada interrupta, Walk. List. Horn., i., p. 175, 1850. 

 Tettigia interrupta, Dist. Gen. Ins. Fasc, 158, p. 3, pi. i., fig. 



la, b. 

 Hab. — New Holland, Walk. The habitat of this species is, I 

 Ihink, somewhat doubtful.
