BORNEAN CICADIDAE. 125 
A few remarks on the distribution of Bornean Cicadidae 
relative to other parts of Malaya, have been placed at the end ; 
also an Appendix containing the description of a new species 
by Mr. Howard Ashton.

This species is recorded by Walker in his list of Sarawak 
Homoptera collected by A. R. Wallace; but I can find no 
other records of it from Borneo. 
General distribution: India and Malaya. 
Malacca, Singapore, Java and Sumatra.

P. fuscangulis, Butl. Cist. Ent. i. p. 189 (1874). 
The Paris Museum possesses this species from Pontianak 
(R. Oberthur, 1898); which seems to be the first record of it 
from Malaya. However Mr. Distant in his Monograph of the 
Oriental Cicadidae (p. 20) mentions that a slight variety has 
been described by Mr. Butler under the name of P. fuscangulis, 
and that he has given it the habitat of “ Sarawak (Wallace).”’
