times. The proportions of scutellum are likewise entirely dif- 

 ferent in the two figures, and the venation of tegmina beyond 

 the nodal vein is even specifically different. I have encountered 

 3 distinct species of this remarkable genus in the Philippines, 

 none of which even nearly corresponds to the descriptions and 

 figures of A. sidciceps, as given by either Stal or Melichar. 

 Evidently the type of A. sulciceps needs to be restudied and 

 refigured. If Distant's figure is correct (he gives almost no 

 structural characters in the specific description), then his species 

 is very distinct from anything yet found in the Philippines. 



In Luzon I have also discovered a fulgorid with the general 

 habitus and some of the essential characters of Augila, and evi-' 

 dently closely related to it, though differing widely in a number 

 of respects. Melichar has made this the type of a new genus, 

 Augilina, naming its sole representative A. longipes?° This 

 genus is still more widely removed from any other genus in the 

 Caliscelinse than is Augila. In my opinion these two genera 

 should constitute a new subfamily, to come before the Caliscelinse. 



Sufamily AUGILINZE novum 



A subfamily of the Issidse, coordinate with Caliscelinse, Hemi- 

 sphaerinse, and Issinse. Distinguished by the long and slender 

 body, very slender abdomen, and the very long and parallel-sided 

 membranaceous tegmina, which surpass the abdomen, and which 

 have a strong transverse nodal vein, passing across from apex 

 of clavus to costa, proximad of which occur very few cells. Ver- 

 tex narrower than eye width and acutely produced far in front of 

 eyes. All legs very long, the forelegs more than three times the 

 length of head and pronotum together. 



Genera of the subfamily Augilinse. 



a'. Vertex declivous; apical area of tegmina with numerous supernumerary 

 veinlets and cells; anterior femora and tibiffi laminately inflated. 



Augila Stal. 

 a*. Vertex distinctly upturned; apical area of tegmina Avithout supernum- 

 erary veinlets, anterior femora and tibiae not laminately inflated. 



Augilina Melichar. 

 Synopsis of the species of Augila. 



a\ Tegmina apically evenly rounded, with at least 1 large cell before the 



nodal vein ; length of vertex less than five times the width between eyes. 



6'". Face shorter than vertex (as figured by Melichar), and its margin 



straight in side view; apical area of tegmina only brown on inner 



portion A. sulciceps Stal.
