HEMIPTERA-HOMOPTliRA. 
Fieber, Franz Xavier. Les Cicadines d’Europe d’apres les origi- 
naux et les publications les plus r^centes. Premiere partie : com- 
prenant les families des Membracida, Cicadaea, Fulgorida, Cerco- 
pida, Ulopida, Paropida, Scarida, dispos^es selon la methode 
analytique. Traduit de I’Allemand par Ferd. Reiber. R. Z. (3) iii. 
pp. 288-416, pis. x.-xiii. 
The late Dr. Fieber’s incomplete MSS. have been purchased of his 
widow by the translator, with MM. Puton & Lethierry, who for some 
time had become the possessors of Fieber’s drawings. The missing 
genera are to be monographed by the two latter authors. A general 
introduction is given, with description of external anatomy, observations 
on peculiarities, economic value, collecting, preserving, and examining, 
and bibliography. The families of the Cicadina as a whole, are those 
enumerated in the title (with the addition of the lassida, apparently 
omitted by accident), and their genera are characterized in a tabular 
form, with no mention of type or other species. The following appear 
to be not before characterized : — Cicadaea, Triglena, p. 337 ; Fulgorida, 
Trig onocr anus, p. 349, Ommatissus, p. 353 ; lassida, Strongylocephalus 
[? Flor], p. 398, Cephalius and Psegmatus, p. 402, Wiyti[do']stylus, p. 404, 
Allygus, p. 410, Alebra (= Compsus, Fieb., Qiec Schon.), p. 412, Chlorita 
(= Chloria, Fieb., nec Shiner), p. 414. The plates represent in outline 
(from Ficber’s drawings) portions of the oxtorual anatomy of various 
genera.
