Psyche 
[December 
First pair of legs markedly fossorial (fig. 8), with quite 
a strong resemblance to those of a cicada nymph, especially 
in the swollen femur. 
The only comparable structure in the Fulgoroidea is that 
of the first pair of legs in the North Australian Cixiid, 
Cajeta singularis Stal, of which only the adult is known. I 
have examined this insect (a male specimen) in the British 
Museum, and to me the legs in question do not look at all 
fossorial, but rather raptorial! The femur is swollen, with 
two minutely-toothed ridges beneath, between which the 
tibia would seem to fit. Observations on the habits of this 
very rare plant-hopper would be of extreme interest.
