Cixiidæ sp. 
Cixiidæ. 
In cement-stone a large Homopteron, measuring 24 mm from 
tip of head to tip of wing, has been procured; on the wings, which 
are far exceeding apex of abdomen, some veins are discerned, but 
none of them in full length. As some of these veins belong to the 
fore wing and others to the hind wing, though it is not possible to 
refer them all with certainty to one or other of the two wings, and 
as they are, moreover, only few in number, further systematic reference 
is excluded. We do, however, recognize that the fore wing has a 
marginal vein parallel to the apical part of the wing. Further a 
series of outwards closed cells are discerned with their apices near 
the tip of the fore wing; yet they must belong to the hind wing, 
indicating that this latter, is of almost the same length as the fore 
wing. This fact together with the convex anterior margin of the fore 
wing and its issuing far anteriorly, apparently directly behind the 
head, are suggestive of the family Cixiidæ, but as before said, further 
reference is excluded.

Hemiptera Heteroptera. 
As mentioned in the introduction the greater part of the insect 
finds from Eocene deposits of Denmark consists of bugs, but as a 
rule only the dorsal aspect of the bodies is recognizable in the stone; 
the habitual appearance of the members within a Hemipterous family 
is so uniform that when a peculiar plastic feature is not to be ob-
