Tettigometra. Signoret publishes (Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. 4*^ ser. tome vi. pp. 
139-1 GO) a revision of the species of this genus, which he characterizes in 
detail, and divides into the following subgenora : — 
1. Head produced more or less triangularly beyond the eyes. 
a. Elytra not margined on the outside. 
* Antennae of 3 joints Mitricephalus. 
t Antennae of 2 joints Tettigometra. 
h. Elytra margined Eurychila. 
. 2. Head only forming a narrow border, more or less rounded. 
Brachycephalus. 
The generic details are represented on plate 1. figs. a-k. The total number 
of species described by Signoret is only 26, whilst Fieber, in -his paper on 
with which Signoret could not have been acquainted, records 
23 European species. Of described species the subgenus Mitricephalus in- 
cludes T. sidphurea (Muls.) ; in Tettigometra we have T. obliqua (Panz.), 
umhrosa ((lexm.'), funesta (^t^\)=ilsthmia undata (Walk.), patruelis (StSl), 
virescens (JdMiz.), impressopunctata (L. Duf.), Iceta (H.-Sch.), atra (Hagenb.), 
disiincta (Luc.), and imprcssifrons (Muls.). Eurychila and Brachycephalus 
consist of now species. T. piccola (Bunn.) is unknown to the autlior. The 
following known species are figured by Signoret : — T. funesta (StM), pi. 1. 
fig. 2 ; T. patruelis (Stal), fig. 3 ; T. ihipressifrons (Muls.), fig. G ; and T, lesta 
(H.-Sch.), fig. 7. 
Tettigometra impressopunctata (Duf.) ? is characterized as British by Mar- 
shall, Ent. M. Mag. iii. p. 149.
