Characters. — In this division the lateral margins of the pronotum are more or less convex, but not toothed; the tegmina and wings are quite clear, as in many species of the genus Cicada, or semi- opaque, as represented in the genus Cryptotympana ; the head is broad and (including eyes) always a little, and generally considerably, wider than base of mesonotum. Stal (Oefv. Vet.-Akad. Férh. (1870), p. 714, proposed some subgenera, but on characters which, I venture to think, are insufficient and of a transient character. Thus his « nodo apicali scutelli », which I take to be the cruciform elevation at the base of the mesonotum, is described as typical of Chremistica in being « transverso, convexo ». But this, though characteristic of the species he refers to, is not constant in the larger generic purview to which I am inclined, and the same remarks apply to the characters on which his subgenus Diceroprocta is founded. Had Stal subsequently revised the whole family with the skilled acumen displayed in his « Enumeratio Hemipterorum », there is a great proba- bility that he would have shared these views. The Cicadaria are Cosmopilitan in distribution. SYNOPSIS OF GENERA I. Mefasteynum not, oy very slightly, elevated, and not provided with a posterior process. A.

In this division the tympanal coverings are rounded anteriorly, not angulate — either completely covering the orifices anteriorly and exposing them interiorly or the reverse, or smaller, exposing them both anteriorly and interiorly; the lateral margins of the pronotum are not convexly ampliate nor medially angulate; the tegmina and wings are hyaline, sometimes maculate.

Characters. — Head transverse, much shorter than the breadth between eyes, eyes large and upwardly prominent, as seen beneath distinctly exserted, lateral margins of vertex and front almost continuous; face broad, narrowing to clypeus, an obscure central tubercle near anterior margin, clypeus strongly centrally ridged, only a little shorter than face; pronotum considerably longer than head, a little shorter than mesonotum, the lateral margins a little ampliate, concavely sinuate before the lateral angles, which are roundly prominent and a little upturned, slightly and obscurely angulate before the concave sinuation; abdomen much longer than space between apex of head and base of cruciform elevation, tympanal coverings narrower but scarcely shorter than tympanal cavities; rostrum passing the base of abdomen; opercula in male small and transverse, widely separated internally; tegmina elongate, narrow, more than three times as long as broad; wings only half as long as tegmina, but nearly as broad, six apical areas, their basal margins almost at right angles with each other.

Characters. — Body moderately short, abdomen not longer than space between apex of head and base of cruciform elevation; tympanal coverings both narrower and shorter than tympanal cavities; head shorter than pronotum, which is slightly shorter than mesonotum., A genus intermediate between Tefligia and Terpnosia. From Tettigia it is separable by the struc- ture of the tympanal coverings, which are both narrower and shorter than tympanal cavities, and by the short abdomen; from Terpnosia it also differs by the short and opaque abdomen, the greater width of the head between eyes = to width of base of mesonotum, and by the tympanal coverings being suban gulate anteriorly.

Characters. — This division is represented by a series of Neotropical genera, in all of which the tympanal orifices are more or less exposed; the tympanal flaps are always well developed and are usually somewhat angulate at their apices; the tegmina and wings are hyaline, sometimes maculate, but never opaque, and they always possess eight apical areas; the lateral margins of the pronotum have sometimes their posterior angles lobately produced, but they are never convexly ampliate nor medially angulate. The Fidicinaria are composed of Neotropical genera of which some species are found in the Southern Nearctic Region. 14 HOMOPTERA SYNOPSIS OF GENERA ] 1.

Division HAMZARIA Hamzaria. Distant, Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist. (7), Vol. 15, p, 382 (1g05). Characters. — This division, at present including only two genera, has much affhnity with the Neotropical division Zammararia. The pronotal margins are ampliated; the tympanal coverings only concealing about half of the tympanal orifices; the tegmina and wings almost wholly opaque. Although the condition of the tympanal orifices allies this division to the Zammararia, with which the dilated pronotal margins also agree, the genera on which it is founded, could, apart from the tympanal characters, be easily confused with the genus Platyfleuva belonging to the subfamily Cicadine. The Hamzaria aie at present only known from the Malayan & South African areas. SYNOPSIS OF GENERA A. Tepgmina three times aslongasbroad. . . . . . +... =~. =.-. «» I. Genus Hamza. a.
