BHEMIPTE RA. 
TETTIGONIA SPLENDIDULA. 
SPECIFIC CHARACTER. 
Wing cafes brown, highly gloffed with a golden tinge. Thighs of the fore pair of legs thick; armed 
. with teeth: colour red. 
TETTIGONIA SPLENDIDULA: elytris fufco aureis, tibiis anticis incraffato dentatis rufis. Fab. Ent. Sy/t. 
TA: 25. 33. 

The infe& added under this Fabrician character, is the fame that author defcribed from the cabinet of 
Mr. Drury, and to which he exclufively refers. We believe the fpecimen is unique, at leaft we have not. 
feen it in any other collection; and it has not been figured in any preceding publication. In the Linnean 
arrangement it muft be placed in the Cicada genus. 


CICADA ABDOMINALIS. 
. SPECIFIC CHARACTER. 
Shining black, with two yellowifh bands acrofs the wing-cafes. Abdomen blood red. 
CICADA ABDOMINALIS: atra nitida elytris fafciis duabus flavefcentibus. Abdomine fanguineo. 

An undefcribed fpecies; allied both to the Cercopis cruentata and Cercopis verficolor of Fabricius, but 
clearly diftinét from either; the thorax of the former being black; and the elytra of the latter marked at 
the bafe with two white fpots: the abdomen black. The thorax of our fpecies is black : it has no white 
{pots on the elytra; and the abdomen is of a fanguineous red colour. 


CICADA FRONTALIS. 
SPECIFIC CHARACTER. 
Wing-cafes red. Five black {pots on the head and thorax, and one in front between the eyes. 
C1caDA FRONTALIs: pallida occipite thoraceque punctis quinque nigris, fronte punéto nigro inter oculos, 
elytris fanguineis. 

We are unable to difcover this fpecies among the defcriptions of Fabricius, and conclude it muft be a 
new infect. The fituation of the black fpots on the thorax, and efpecially that on the front of the head, 
conftitute the decifive criterion of this {pecies.
