 HEMIPTERA. 



FULGORA LINEATA. 



Plate VIIL fig. 1. 



Species. Fulgora Lineata : fronte rostrata lineari adscendente ; hemelytris pallidis, lineis 

 duabus fuscis. Long, alis clausis. vine. J. 

 Fulgora : with the trunk linear ascending ; hemelytra pale, with two brown longi- 

 tudinal lines. Length with the wings closed, J an inch. 



" A pretty little undescribed species, found in Bengal, where it is not very- 

 uncommon. " — Donovan. 



An apparent variety of this species is figured in Griffith's Animal Kingdom, — 

 Insects, pi. 90, fig. 2, from India, under the name of Fulgora pallida, a name which, 

 at all events, must be rejected, having been previously given to the following species. 



PSEUDAPHANA PALLIDA. 



Plate VIIL fig. 2. 



Species. Pseudaphana Pallida: "fronte rostrata lineari, adscendente; thorace pallide 

 viridi, rubro lineato ; hemelytris hyalinis." — Donovan. Long, alis clausis, 

 i una 

 Pseudaphana : with the trunk linear, ascending ; thorax pale green with red linea- 

 tions ; wing-cases hyaline. Length with the wings closed, i an inch. 



Syn. Fulgora pallida, Donovan, 1st edit. 



Habitat. " From the same place as the preceding insect. " — Donovan. 



The small species of Pseudaphana, which is well distinguished from Fulgora by 

 the less closely reticulated wings, are somewhat numerous. Three species have been 

 described as inhabitants of the East Indies, namely, Fulgora grammea, Fabricius (Si/st. 

 Bhyng.p. 4 "India Orientali.") ■ Flata lyrata, Germar, (Thon's Ent. Archiv. 2. p. 47, 

 " Bengalia.") ■ and Flata splendens, Germar (Thon's Ent. Archiv. 2. p. 47, " Java."). 

 It is not improbable that Donovan's species may be identical with one of these, 

 possibly the F. lyrata, which is also from Bengal; but from the too concise descrip- 

 tion of Donovan, which I have copied entire above, it is not possible to speak with 

 absolute precision.
