" This is unquestionably one of the most striking and magnificent species of 

 Cicada we are acquainted with. A single specimen of this kind was discovered in 

 Bengal by Mr. Fichtel about four years ago. It is now deposited in the Imperial 

 cabinet at Vienna." (Donovan.) 



The species was also contained in the collection of Hellwig, from which it was 

 described and figured by Illiger, in the work above referred to, in the year 1800, for 

 which reason I have retained the latter name as having the priority.
