Hoe tiijlory of ANIMALS, 61 
there are fome tranfverfe Aria? on the forehead: the body is of a bluifh-grey, and the legs 
are yellowiAt. 
It is common with us about the water plants in autumn. Ray calls it LoctlAa pulex 
tertia ; others have made it a fpecies of the Gryllus, but improperly. I met with feve- 
ral of them, this lad fummer, on the reeds and among the rufhes about the edges of 
Whitlefea-meer in the Ide of Ely. 
Cicada elytris flavis linea abrupt a ^ duplici , longitudinally nigra . 
*The Cicada^ with yellow exterior wings , with a double , longitudinal , abrupt 3 
black line. 
This is about the fize of the common fly : it is all over of a beautiful yellow, except 
that, when the wings are clofe, there appears on each fide of the back a longitudinal 
black line, which is continued or divided towards it’s middle, fo as to form, as it were, 
two lines, the one running from the thorax, the other from the tail to the middle, 
where they are obliquely feparated 5 the two upper parts of thefe lines unite near the 
thorax, and there is on each fide a black fpot on the head and thorax, the two alfo 
uniting into one : the antennas are fhort; the forehead has feveral flight tranfverfe 
furrows on it: the body, when the wings are expanded, is feen to be yellow in the 
middle, and black at each fide. 
We have it among the high grafs in our pafiures in June. 
The other fpecies are, 1. The common Italian Cicada, or true Cicada : this is an 
inch long, and more than half an inch broad, and of a dufky browm 2. The fmaller 
Italian Cicada. 3. The brown Cicada, with wings fpotted with paler brown, and 
with punftated nerves. 4. The black Cicada, with three equal tranfverfe white lines. 
5. The yellow Cicada, with the wings fpotted with brown, and with four black fpots 
on them, yellow in the hinder part. 6. The whitifh Cicada, with a black longitudi¬ 
nal line on each fide. 7. The black Cicada, with white eyes. 8. The black Cicada, 
with the edges of the exterior wings white. 9. The black Cicada, with a white 
head. 10. The Cicada, with a bicornate thorax lengthened behind, and with naked 
wings. 11. The Cicada, with the exterior wings ftriated with black and white, called, 
by mod authors, the common Locufta pulex. 12. The yellow comprefled Cicada. 
13. The Cicada, with greenifli-yellow wings, with the extremities black and gilded, 
common on the leaves of the elm, and very nimble in it’s motions. 14. The yellow 
Cicada, with the extremities of the wings white and membranaceous. 15. The Chi- 
nefe Laternaria. 16. The American Laternaria, or larger yellow comprefled Cicada. 
17. The Manna Cicada. 18. The leaf!:, white Cicada.

f’T’"' H E roflrum of the Cimex is infledted ; the antennas confiA each of four joints t 
the wings are four, and are cruciated; the legs are formed for running, not 
leaping ; the back is plain, and the thorax is marginated : fome of them oafs a great 
part of their life without wings, fome even the whole, fo far as is yet known of 
certainty. ' \\ 
Cimex fubrotundus viridis , margine undique flavo. 
The roundijh green Cimex y with a yellow border 
round it. 
This is of the fize of the common fly, but flatted : the body is of a rounded figure, 
but fomewhat approaching to oval : the antennas are {lender and green, and the lowefi 
joint of them is very fmall : the head, the thorax, and the exterior wings are of a bright 
green, and fomewhat fcabrous: the belly is green, but the back of the body is black; 
the fnout has four joints; the tongue is fetaceous, and is immerfed longitudinally in the 
fnout; a yellow margin, or edge, furrounds the whole body. 
It is frequent with us in gardens, about the efculent plants.
