SCLEROPTERA. 
InfeSls which have four wings : the exterior flexile , and the interior mem¬ 
branaceous ; and which have the aperture of the mouth bent under 
the breafl . 
CICADA. 
H E antennas of the Cicada are very fhort: the fnout is bent downward : the 
I wings are cruciated ; and the legs are contrived for leaping : the back is con¬ 
vex, and the thorax rounded. 
The word Cicada is too generally underftood to flgnify a grafs-hopper in the writings 
of the antients, but this is a great error 5 they exprefs by it a large four-winged fly 
of this genus, which is very common at this time in Italy, and many of the other war¬ 
mer parts of Europe. 
Cicada fufca , elytris maculis binis albis lateralibus^ 
fafcia duplici interrupt a. 3CICtttfeOlb 
The Cicada , with brown wings , with two whitefpots <§§)pj'f ‘jjuftCU 
on them , and a double white line. 
This is a fmall fpecies : it’s body is oblong and obtufe ; it’s head large, and it’s eyes 
fmall: the exterior wings are of a dulky brown, but have two very elegant white fpots 
on them, and abroad, interrupted, tranfverfe double line of the fame colour : the reft of 
the body is of a dufky brown, and the head black; the colour however is not certain 
and invariable, but fometimes it is all over greyifh. 
It is common with us on different plants of the lychnis and other kinds, where it is 
ufually covered with a kind of frothy matter refembling fpittle ; this it does not dis¬ 
charge at the mouth, but at the anus, and from feveral other parts of the body : all the 
writers on Infeds have defcribed it: Swammerdam calls it Locufta pulex t Petiver, Ra- 
natra bicolor capite nigricante; others, Vermis fpumans. 
Cicada elytris viridibus , capite flavo punSlis nigris afperfo. 
The Cicada , with green wings , and with a yellow head , with black fpots 
on it . 
This is one of the largeft of Cicadte of our colder climates: it is of the length of a 
large fly, but is very narrow in proportion to that length : the exterior wings are of a 
deep and very beautiful green ; the interior ones are of a bluifh-grey : the covering of 
the thorax is alfo green, but of a paler green than the wings: the head, is yellow, and 
has two large black fpots on the hinder part, and feveral other fmaller at the fldes, and
