124 BORNEAN CICADIDAE. 
probable that the few private collections made in this country 
may possess some species not mentioned in this list; and 
perhaps one or two Kuropean museums, which I have not been 
able to consult, may contain some too. 
So the purpose of this paper has been to serve rather as 
a basis for a chapter on this family of Rhynchota when the 
time comes for the Fauna of Borneo to be treated in one 
comprehensive work. And if those who have in their keeping, 
collections of Cicadidae from this island, will add to this list; 
and if entomologists in Borneo are interested sufficiently to 
add to it as well, the purpose of this paper will be fully served. 
In compiling this list I have to acknowledge my debt of 
gratitude to Mr. W. L. Distant who has from time to time 
identified most of the species in the Sarawak Museum ; to 
Mr. Howard Ashton of Sydney for identifying species; and to 
the following gentlemen who have kindly supplied me with 
data of species in their possession :—Dr. N. Annandale of the 
Indian Museum, M.le Vicomte du Buysson of the Paris Museum, 
Dr. R. Hanitsch of the Raffles Museum, Singapore, Dr. R. 
Gestro of the Museo Civico, Genoa, and Mr. C. J. Brooks 
of Upper Sarawak. 
The system of classification followed is that set forth by 
Mr. W. L. Distant in his “ Synonymic Catalogue of Homop- 
tera, Part [II. Cicadidae,”’ and reference is made to that work 
in the case of each species. In addition to this, the following 
works have been consulted: “ Représentation des Cigales’”’ by 
Caspar Stoll (1788) ; Journal of the Linnean Society, London, 
1857, in which appears the paper on Sarawak Homoptera by 
Francis Walker; Annals and Magazine of Natural History 
(1887-1906); “ Monograph of the Oriental Cicadidae’”’ by W. L. 
Distant (1889-1892), and Rhynchota, Vol. III, of the Fauna of 
British India series, by W. L. Distant. 
The names of the localities are placed in order, beginning 
from Sandakan (Elopura) in the North-East of Borneo; then 
to the North of the island: from thence westward through 
Sarawak, and south to Pontianak, and so,round to the South- 
East of Borneo, where Mr. Doherty collected many species.
