Material for a Fauna Borneensis: a list of 
Bornean Cicadidae. 
By J. C. Moulton, F. E.S., 
Curator of the Sarawak Museum. 
The only publications dealing with Cicadidae from Borneo 
are, (i) a © Catalogue of the Homopterous insects collected at 
Sarawak, Borneo, by Mr. A. R. Wallace, with Descriptions of 
New Species,” by Francis Walker F. L. S., published in the 
Journal of the Linnean Society, London, 1857; and, (ii) a 
comprehensive © Monograph of the Oriental Cicadidae”’ by 
W. L. Distant, which was published in 1889-92. In the former 
paper, eleven” species of Cicadidae are enumerated, of which 
two are no longer traceable. In Mr. Distant’s memoir, out of 
no less than 268 species dealt with, only 36 are noticed : from 
Borneo. As might be expected, many other species have been 
recorded since that date; and as it may be of some interest to 
students and collectors of the Fauna of the Malay Archipelago, 
I have compiled the following list of Cicadidae which are at 
present known from Borneo. This paper cannot pretend to 
contain a complete list of all Bornean Cicadidae; for in our 
present lack of entomological knowledge of the greater part of 
this island—so rich in insect fauna—there must yet remain 
many more species to be discovered, and the distribution of 
those now known must also be greatly extended. It is also
