TETTIGONIA A U S T R A L A S I JE. 
GENERIC CHARACTER. 
Snout inflected: Iheath of two joints inferted at the throat: antennae fetaceous: feet not formed 
for leaping. 
SPECIFIC CHARACTER. 
Teftaceous: margin of the thorax dilated : wings hyaline. 
Tettigonia Australasia: teftacea unicolor thorace margine dilatato, alls hyalinis. 
This fpecies of Tettigonia mutt be confidered an interoding infedt, if only for its ftze, in which refpeft 
it is fcarcely inferior to any other infect of the fame genus we are at prefent acquainted with from other 
parts of the world. In New South Wales this fpecies appears to be rather common, for we have feen many 
fpecimens of it brought to England at different times from that country. In all of thefe, the prevailing 
colour of the body, head, and thorax, was uniformly teftaceous, fubjedt however to confiderable variation 
in the tints and fhades of colour. Some in particular that have occurred to notice were teftaceous tinged 
with green, and others inclining to a pale olive. This is one of the Cicadas in the Linnaean arrangement; 
and certainly has not been defcribed by any author.
