FAM. CICADID^E 27 



79. Genus HAMZA, Distant 



Hamza. Distant, Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond. (1904), p. 674. 



Characters. — Body short, broad; head including eyes about as wide as the anterior margin of 

 the mesonotum ; ocelli placed nearer to each other than to eyes; pronotum with the lateral margins 

 ampliated, obtusely angulated near middle ; anterior femora distinctly tuberculately spined ; metasternum 

 slightly elevated, broadly centrally sulcate and sinuately truncated; tympana only about half covered 

 by the dilated and expanded lateral areas of the basal abdominal segment; opercula short, broad, their 

 apices convexly rounded ; tegmina about three times as long as broad, the basal cell broad, with at 

 least four angles, ulnar veins widely separated at their bases. 



Type. — H. bouruensis, Distant. 



Geographical distribution of species. — The only species at present known is from the 

 Malayan Archipelago.

80. Genus TUGELANA, Distant 



Tugelana. Distant, Ann. Mag. Nat. 'Hist. (8), Vol. 9, p. 645 (1912). 



Characters. — Head short and broad, including eyes about as broad as base of mesonotum, 

 between eyes three times as broad as long, ocelli farther apart from eyes than from each other, eyes 

 obliquely directed backward; face a little longer than broad, very broadly longitudinally sulcate, lateral 

 areas transversely striate; pronotum almost as long as mesonotum, the lateral margins roundly ampliate, 

 twice as broad at base as long, the fissures profound, anterior margin truncate, posterior margin very 

 slightly sinuate at middle; abdomen in male about as long as space between the apex of head and base 

 of cruciform elevation; tympana partly exposed, the coverings being a little shorter and considerably 

 narrower inwardly; rostrum reaching the posterior cocae ; opercula in male scarcely extending beyond 

 base of abdomen, not meeting inwardly, obliquely transverse, Literally and apically rounded; anterior 

 femora incrassated, with two short but broad teeth at apex; tegmina more than twice as long as broad, 

 opaque, basal cell slightly longer than broad, ulnar areas moderately elongate, apical areas eight, the 

 uppermost long and narrow; wings a little more than half the length of tegmina, apical areas six. 



This is one of the few Ethiopian genera belonging to the subfamily Gasaninas, and may be placed 

 near the genus Hamza ; like that genus, apart from the tympanal structural characters, it has a superficial 

 resemblance to the genus Platyphura. 



Type. — T. buthri, Distant. 



Geographical distribution of species. — At present only know from South Africa.
