tooth seen in L. ignwenter; tegmina dense brown, with a triangular membranous 
patch traversed with dark veins; abdomen red and pointed; no suprahumeral 
processes ; tegmina with five apical areas terminated without a limbus ; legs simple. 
Dr. Goding gives the front tibise dilated, but my example from the B.M. Collec¬ 
tion does not show such a modification. 
Expause, 15 x 8 mm. 
Habitat. —Brazil, Rio de Janeiro. 
This small but showy insect somewhat recalls a minute edition of a species of 
Gceana, a genus of the Cicadidse without a horn or head appendage.
