McMalion, who stated that great swarms of it had visited Quetta, Baluchistan, in 1909. Similar swarms had been known to occur at intervals of about six years. This Cicadid bores a liole in the gromid, apparently intended merely to hold the insect during its pupal stage. Each hole is separate and quite open, holds only one pupa, and is bored vertically to a depth varying from 11 inches to 2 feet. In diameter it is about half an inch, but widens slightly at the bottom.

This species has been named ruhrovittata and described as new by Schmidt, who states that it differs from the description given by AValker of his species. Walker's type from Malacca is iu the British Museum, as is also a series of other specimens from tlie Malaj^ States, and these agree entirely and explicitly with the specimens from Tenasserim, one of which I figured and described as above. As Schmidt gives his habitats as Sumatra and Java, he has probably confused the species altogether ; and this suggestion seems more than borne out by the figure given by Melichar of his species.

Melichar {supra) has sunk Bierman's genus CatidJoides (Not. Mus. Leiden, xxxiii, p. 21, 1911) as a synonym of the above. This, however, cannot be maintained. Both Bierman's descrip- tion and figure define the costal membrane of the tegmina as possessing numerous transverse veins, wliereas my description and figure of Barunoides clearly show the contrary, "costal membrane without transverse veins." Moreover, there are otiier differences, and Bierman's genus is distinct and must stand, unless it should be subsequently proved to be a synonym of Kusuma, Dist.

Genus VEKUNTA. (Vol. Ill, p. 287.)
I followed Melichar, the founder of this genus (for I only revised his name Temesa which was preoccupied), in placing it in the Aehilinae. Kirkaldy (Haw. Sugar Plant. Assoc. Bull, iii, p. 115, 1907) wrote " J'el-unta is certainly an Issiue and has nothing to do with Achilini." Subsequently (Ann. Soc. Ent. Belg. ii, p. 302, 1907) he stated that it is not an Issine but a Derbid ! Pending further developments it may well be left in tlie place assigned it by Melichar and mvself. Muir (liep. Exp. Stat. H. P. a; Bull, xii, p. 37, 1913) states that Melichar placed it among the Cixiinaj, but that is incorrect.

The position of this genus is somewhat uncertain. I follow Melichar in placing it in the Derbinae, though of course its aberrant structure among the Derbids cannot be overlooked. Muir (Bull. E. S. H. P. xii, p. 29, 1913) writes of Msia and two other genera: "I exclude them from the family Derbidoe but, inconsistently, have included them in this Bulletin because several of our greatest authorities on Homoi)tera have considered them as Derbids."' Muir seems inclined to the view that Kisia belongs to the Cixiinw. Matsumura (Ann. Mus. Nat. Hung, xii, p. 287, 1914) places the genus in the Achilin*.
Under these circumslances I leave JSlsia among the Derbids, a position which perhaps does not seem congenial, and from which it will probably be ultimately transferred.

The late Mr. Kirkaldy (Hep. Exp. Stat. Haw. PJaiit. Assoc, iii. p. 98, 1907) wrote: — "Distant states that the head is considerably narrower than the pronotum. This is incorrect as a generic ■character, for in G. chrysopokles the eyes project very slightly beyond the pronotum ; Distant's figure also scarcely bears out his diagnosis ; moreover, the clypeus is not carinate, as, indeed, Stal also states." This pronouncement of Kirkaldy was unfortunately inaccurate and misleaduig.
1. That tlie head considerably narrower than the pronotum " is incorrect as a generic character " is an amazing remark when the accurate figure of the Neotropical type (&. />/eiu';^6'/i?m. Walk. = pudibunda, Stal) given by Fowler (Biol. Centr.-Am., Ehynch.- Hom. i. t. viii. fig. 13) was available for consultation by one wlio Mas evidently unacquainted with the species. The Australian species llicania chrijsopoides. Walk., which Kirkaldy referred to as typical of Oa't2tUa, has been so placed by none but liimself ; Meli- char, in his Monograph (not having seen the species), merely remarks " Sclieint zur Gattung Gcetulia zu gehoren."
2. Stfd did not state that " the clypeus is not carinate," but " clypeus lateribus hand carinatis." The clypeus in the type is strongly centrally carinate, and laterally, in my opinion, also finely carinate ; in the chnjsopoides, Walk., it is distinctly so.
I have (A. M. N. H. (8) iv, p. 337, 1909) proposed the genus JS'urunderia for the reception of chrijsopoides, Walk.

Tlie late Mr. Kirkaldy created (above and elsewhere) con- siderable confusion as regards this genus and species. He stated that it =D. maidis, Ashm., and D.psyUoldes, Leth., and proposing a new genus for it under Fererfrinus.
That it is not the same as maidis, Ashmead, mIio figured his species, is clear from the structure of the face and the venation of the wings ; moreover, the British Museum now possesses a specimen from Hawaii labelled viaidis, Ashm., which is un- doubtedly simpUcia, Dist. He also added to the synonymy the Dclphax psyUoidcs, Leth., which was well figured (Ind. Mus. Notes, iii, p. 105, 1896), includhig sectioual characters, and therefore cannot be placed in the same genus, nor in the same subfamily.

Dr. Malsuniunx in monographing the genus 'froitidocepJidln, Stfil, has proposed a considerable amount of generic synonymy, which is hei'e ap|)arently followed, and tlie genus is thus shown to have a very wide Old World distribution. Matsunnn-a has, however, figured the vertex of the species he has identified as T. fcstiva, Dist. as considerably larger and more elongate than in the type, while the pattern of the tegmina is altogether different.
The type of Trojndocephala is, T.JIauiceps, Stfil, a South African species and one which 1 have not seen, nor has Matsumura, for he does not figure the species and only copies Stfil's description, hut he is able to figure T.brunn-ipennis, Sign., which Stfil also inchided in his genus.

Genus COSMOSCARTA. (Vol. IV, p. 128.)
Since I enumerated and described the species of Cosmoacaria belonging to tlie Indian fauna, employing that genus in its com- prehensive character as founded by Stal and used by other workers, Dv. Schmidt has subdivided Cosmoscarta into a number of new genera, and these have been adopted by Dr. Lallemand in his enume- ration of the Cercopidaj in Wytsman's ' Genera Insectorum.' I have now drawn attention to these and pointed out the species uhich would be involved in this new arrangement.
Dr. Gestro, of the Genoa Museum, has greatly assisted me by kindly loaning the types of Dr. Schmidt's species for comparison.

The late Mr. Kirkaldy (liep. Exp. Stat. Haw. Plant. Assoc. Bull, iii, p. 25 (1907)) stated that I had "overlooked the fact that Petalocephala is a synonym of Camptelasmus." This state- ment is, however, untenable, as I have previously explained (Ann. Ent. Soc. Belg. 1908, p. 98), and requires a reply here.

I had previously followed Melichar in locating some species he had described in the genus Agallia, but since he described his AffaiUa hinutata from Ceylon, he has united that species with Pachynus himaculicollis, Stfil. Pacliynus, however, is a preoccupied name, but as StfiFs genus is the same as Nephela, which Dr. Buch. AVhite subsequently described, tliat name is available, and the new name proposed by Kirkaldy becomes unnecessary.

A considerable amount of variation occurs in this species. Even in the specimens received from Mr. T. \. Campbell, which were taken in Southern India, the ground-colour of the tegmina being either pale bluish or dark ochraceous, the darker longitudinal markinsfs are also variable.
