FAM. CICADIDA SUBFAM. CICADINAZ by W. L. DISTANT
WITH 7 COLOURED PLATES
JN 1840, Westwood (Intvod. Mod. Class. Ins. Vol. 2, p. 420) for this family of Homopterous insects, used the name Cicadidz, which as he stated corresponds with the Czcad@ mannt- feva Linn., the Chanteuses of Latreille, and the Strzdulantia of Burmeister. He did not S, however subdivide the family. In 1843, Amyotand Serville (Hust. Nat. Ins. Hemipt. p. 458) employed the family name Stvidulantes, and these writers may be regarded as the first to really break up
and generically arrange the family so far as material at that time was available for study, They arranged the genera in two Tribes — Reticelles and Octicelles, but this grouping does not fallin with the more modern views of classification. In 1850, Walker (List. Hom. Ins. Pt. 1) described a large number of species, many of which were subsequently proved to be synonyms, but he did nothing to revise the classification or to propose a new one. In 1866, Stal (Hem. Afr. Vol. 4) under the family name Sfridu- lantia, gave a « Conspectus geneyum », many of the genera being afterwards (Berl. Ent. Zeit. 1866, and Ann. Soc. Ent. Fy. 1861) more fully described and species allotted to the same. In 1870, Stal (Oe/v. Vet.- Akad. Forh. used the family name Cicadina in his description and enumeration of Philippine Homop- tera. The arrangement here used is one which. I suggested in my Synonymical Catalogue of Homoptera,
Pt. 1, Cicadide, 1906 and which had previously (Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist.) appeared in sections.

2 HOMOPTERA
Characters. — The general characters of the Cicadida may be described as follows : Ocelli three in number and placed on the disk of vertex of head; antennz short, inserted close to eyes and composed of seven joints (this includes the two joints of the peduncle or basal joint), the flagellum consists of five joints, and, according to Hansen, on the underside of the first and second joints there is a very large number of sensory organs, and on the last three joints he has found a few of the smaller examples of these organs; head short, broad, and transverse, terminating beneath in an elongated rostrum composed of three joints; thorax large, pronotum short and transverse, with two oblique discal incisures or furows on each side, mesonotum (by some writers referred to as scutellum) very large and terminating posteriorly in a small basal cruciform elevation (which has sometimes been referred to as the metathoracie cross); abdomen consisting of six segments and an anal appendage; anterior femora incrassated and nearly always more or less spinose beneath; tegmina and wings usually hyaline, sometimes opaque, their venation distinct and usually furcate in ramification, but occasionally reticulate. To these characters may be added those given by Hansen, viz. : no empodium; second pair of abdominal spiracles placed in a transverse ventral furrow, looking anteriorly and medianly; third to seventh pairs placed in the sternites, not in the pleura.
The Cicadide possess a distinctive attribute in their loud stridulation, which is however confined to the males. The sound given forth varies in intensity, but is scarcely to be represented as a musical production; it has been differently described by travellers in various parts of the world as resembling a railway-whistle, a knife-grinder, razor-grinder etc., while some field-naturalists maintain that the noise is distributed with the power of a ventriloquist, that it is difficult to locate the insects by their cries; my own experience, both in the Ethiopian and Oriental Regions scarcely confirms this conclu- sion 1). The structure and mechanism of the sound-producing apparatus have been studied and described by a number of entomologists and other naturalists of whom we may mention the names of Réamur, Goureau and Solier, Dugés, Landois, Mayer. Carlet, and John C. Galton. Of these perhaps Carlet has given us the best information, or at all events, the foundation on which others have worked. The sound-producing apparatus is covered beneath by two flaps, which, as pointed out by Westwood, are, in fact, the dilated sides of the metasternum; these have been sometimes incorrectly referred to as « drums », but are really covering-flaps, or as they are usually called, and here alluded to, opercula. These appendages in shape, length, and direction frequently supply the most reliable differentiation for species, and in the Dundubiaria exhibit the most striking variety. The real drums or tympana are laterally situate near the upper surface of the base of the abdomen, and are either concealed by tympanal coverings as 1n the Cicadine, partially concealed as in the Geanine, or completely exposed as in the Tibicinine. The females are provided with a strongly developed ovipositor. by which they are enabled to pierce the branches of trees and there deposit their eggs, which in some cases amount to a very large number.
These insects are victims to many enemies and are apparently defenceless creatures. Among their persecutors may be mentioned species of Mantis (Orthoptera), spiders, dragon-flies, hornets. wasps, Asilide (Diptera), Chalcididee, and many birds; they have also been found to be devoured by Trout (Pisces) both in Japan and New Zealand, and are used as food by some of the primitive races of man- kind. In India a large number are devoured by a lizard (Calotes versicolor).
Their life-histories are still little known, and should prove to be of the most interesting character. One Nearctic species, Tibicina septemdecim, in its immature condition lives beneath the surface
of the ground for a period of some seventeen years; another species. Psalmochavias querula Pall. found

possible) to where a ftgure has been given.

FAM. CICADIDA® 25
Division CICADARIA
Cicadaria. Distant, Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist. (7), Vol. 14, pp. 329 et 425 (1904).
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.

1) Smith and Grossbeck (1997) have investigated the N. American species hitherto and usually referred to as &. tréicen, Linn. and R. cani- cularis, Harris and have made great alteration in the synonomy ‘and described several forms included in it as new species. I have included these here but without seeing the material I have adhered to the old formula. But this paper must be consulted and seriously studied.

Division HETERCPSALTRIARIA
Heteropsaltriaria, Distant. Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist. (7), Vol. 15, p. 386 (1905).
Characters. — This division, at present represented by a single genus, is to be distinguished from the Cicadaria by the distinct venation of the tegmina, the radial area being very large and broad, considerably more than half the whole length of tegmina, which has thus caused the shortening of the
three upper ulnar areas.
30. GENUS HETEROPSALTRIA, JACOBI
Heteropsaltria. Jacobi, Sitzber. Ges. Naturf. Berl. (1902), p. 73.
Characters. — Head about as long as breath between eyes, a little shorter than pronotum, including eyes slightly broader than anterior margin of pronotum; ocelli distinctly more remote from eyes than from each other; face longer than broad, moderately prominent; pronotum shorter than mesonotum including the basal cruciform elevation, the lateral margins distinctly broadly angulate near base; abdomen shorter than space between apex of head and base of cruciform elevation; tympana concealed; opercula short, transverse, not passing base of abdomen; rostrum passing the intermediate coxe ; tegmina broad, but not more than twice as long as broad, basal cell longer than broad, radial area large and broad, considerably longer than half the whole length of tegmen, thus causing the shortening of the three upper ulner areas; apical areas eight; wings narrower but more than half the lenght of

Division DUNDUBIARIA
Dundubiaria. Distant, Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist. (7), Vol. 15, p. 58 (1905).
Characters. — Lateral margins of the pronotum distinctly angulated or toothed; tegmina and wings hyaline, sometimes spotted, but never opaque; the opercula vary much in length and shape and in some genera reach the maximum of development.
This division is a very homogeneous one, but at the same time one of the most difficult to readily analyze. It is composed almost entirely of Oriental, Malayan, and Australian species, save a few derived from the extreme east of the Palearctic Region, which, as well known, possesses a strong Oriental affinity.

I use Stal’s name for this genus. as the type he proposed (Cic. flavida, Guér.) is included in it. His description, however, cannot be accepted, as, evidently referring to Guérin’s figure only, he states,
« ramo venz ulnaris interioris recto vel leviter curvato », a character given by that artist and not found in the species.

This subfamily is to be recognized by the presence of tympanal coverings which are however imperfect, and more or less exposing orifices.
Division CICADATRARIA (ye Fevrrana pI, Hamza Cicadatraria. Distant, Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist. (7) Vol. 15, p. 304 (1905); Faun. Brit. India, Rhynch. Vol. 3, p. 122 (1906).
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.
The genera composing this division are confined to the Palearctic, Oriental, and Malayan
regions and represented in Japan.

Characters. — This genus, without the examination of the type, or a typical specimen (which so far as | am aware or can learn, no entomologist knows) is insufficiately described by its respected founder. Horvath rightly fastens on its principal points « Elytris areis apicalibus septem — alis areis

Some confusion may arise in separating this genus from Tympanoterpes, Stal (Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. (4), Vol. 1, p. 614, 1861), in which the founder had previously placed several of the species which he afterwards included in Proarna, and which again subsequently, in « Conspectus generum » (Hem. Afr. Vol. 4, p. 7. 1866), he separates primarily by the moderately erect or curved and non-oblique transverse vein at the base of the second apical vein to the tegmina.

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.

80. GENUS TUGELANA, DISTANT
Tugelana. Distant, Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist. (8), Vol. 9, p. 645 (1912).
Characters. — Head short and broad, including eyes about as broad as base of mesonotum, between eyes three times as broad as long, ocelli farther apart from eyes than from each other, eyes obliquely directed backward; face a little longer than broad, very broadly longitudinally sulcate, lateral areas transversely striate ; pronotum almost as long as mesonotum, the lateral margins roundly ampliate, twice as broad at base as long, the fissures profound, anterior margin truncate, posterior margin very slightly sinuate at middle; abdomen in male about as long as space between the apex of head and base of cruciform elevation; tympana partly exposed, the coverings being a little shorter and considerably narrower inwardly ; rostrum reaching the posterior coce; opercula in male scarcely extending beyond base of abdomen, not meeting inwardly, obliquely transverse, laterally and apically rounded; anterior femora incrassated, with two short but broad teeth at apex; tegmina more than twice as long as broad, opaque, basal cell slightly longer than broad, ulnar areas moderately elongate, apical areas eight, the uppermost long and narrow; wings a little more than half the length of tegmina, apical areas six.
This is one of the few Ethiopian genera belonging to the subfamily Gzeanine, and may be placed near the genus Hamza; like that genus, apart from the tympanal structural characters, it has a superficial
resemblance to the genus Platypleura. Type. — 7. butlevi, Distant.
