BORNEAN CICADIDAE., - 131 
Borneo (coll. R. Oberthur—Paris Mus.) ; Island of Ban- 
guey (coll. Noualhier—Paris Mus.) 
A British Musoum specimen bears the label “ Hindost- 
an.” 
In lack of further and more definite evidence I regard 
this species as confined to Borneo.

This species is only recorded from Borneo. Fairly 
common in and near Kuching where it has been captured 
during the months of January, April to June, and Septem- 
ber to December; also taken at Limbang. 
‘There are two males in the Sarawak Museum from 
the summit of Mt. Matang (3,160 ft.) which I take to be 
varieties of this species. They are slightly smaller than 
the average male and when fresh the abdomen and thorax 
had a curious grey-blue leaden colour, very different 
to the ordinary form. The markings on the tegmina and 
wings are the same as in the typical form. Mr. C. J. - 
Brooks has a female from Mt. Penrissen (2000 ft.) of 
nearly the same cclouring. 
First taken at Sandaken by Mr. W.B. Pryer after 
whom it is named.
