HEMIPTERA. 
FULGORA LINEATA. 
Plate VIII. fig. 1. 
Species. Fulgora Lineata : fronte rostrata lineari adscendente ; hemelytris pallidis, lineis 
duabus fuscis. Long, alis clausis. unc. 
Fulgora: with the trunk linear ascending; hemelytra pale, with two brown longitu- 
dinal lines. Length with the wings closed, ^ 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, Jig. 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 VIII. fig. 2. 
Species. Pseudaphana Pallida : “fronte rostrata lineari, adscendente; thorace pallide viridi, 
rubro lineato ; hemelytris hyalinis.” — Donovan. Long, alis clausis, ^ unc. 
Pseudaphana: with the trunk linear, ascending; thorax pale green with red linea- 
tions ; wing-cases hyaline. Length with the wings closed, 1 an inch. 
Syn. Fulgora pallida, Donovan , Li 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 ( Syst . 
Rhyng. p. 4, “ India Orientali.”) ; Flata lyrata, Germar, ( Tlion'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 description 
of Donovan, which I have copied entire above, it is not possible to speak with absolute 
precision.
