LIBRARY OF I885_IQ56 HOMOPTERA INDICA. E. T. ATKINSON, B.A. : B.C.S. CA.3LCTJTT^. 1884—86. In compliance with current copyright law, the Etherington Conservation Center produced this replacement volume on paper that meets ANSI Standard Z39.48-1992R (1997) to replace the irreparably deteriorated original. H 2002 The papers inchided in this volume have appeared in the Journal of the Asiatic Society of Bengal. The first in Part II for 1884, the Becond, third and fourth in the Volume for 1885, and the remainder iu the Volume for 1886. In 1865 I was present at a meeting, the object of which was to place the study of our Indian fauna on a better footing. and to enlist the aid of all who cared for the subject in some organised scheme. After some discussion, it was resolved to divide the work amongst those who were tlien able to render assistance, so as to arrive at some definitive result within a reasonable time. Dr. Jerdon's works on the Mammals and Birds of India were near completion, and I undertook the Lepidoptera, and subsequently the compilation of a list of the Insecta which should roughly indicate the state of our knowledge and at least give references to books which would enable the student to know where he should go to when taking up an order. This proved to be a long and troublesome labour, for woi*king in the country, I had either to buy or borrow the works of reference and often had to wait a year for one that was essential. The list was completed in 1880 and published in 1882. Lepidoptera in the meantime had fallen into good hands, Messrs. Moore, Distant, Marshall and De Niceville ; there were specialists available for Coleoptera and Hymenoptera, Mr. Wood-Mason was engaged on Orthoptera and I took up the Bhynchota. The present volume is the result of an attempt to lay the foundation of an * Homoptera Indica' and to clear up the really forbidding synonymy of this group and make its study easier to those who care to undertake it. I soon found that to offer references only to works which are practically unprocurable in India could be of no possible use to the class for whom these papers are intended, and could not reasonably be expected to subserve in the slightest degree the objecfc in view, that is to enlist the labours of intelligent and competent observers iu thia exceedingly interesting investigation. I have therefore given so far as I can the original descriptious, however vague, leaving to a second edition when a sufficient number of each species is before me, the correct and full description which is so desirable. It would only lead to confusion were I to attempt to redescribe most of the species now enumerated without seeing the types. Our first work now is to collect and note carefully time and place of appearance and anything regarding the life- history that can be procured, and I have lifctle doubt that in a few years we sliall have some tangible results. Mr. Distant has kindly consented to work up our Cicadidoe, and in time I hope that others will take up other sections. The Homoptera make a very poor shovv in the Indian Museum, and require early and earnest attention. The Hemiptera are much better worked and are better represented whilst the Phytopl.thires have not a single specimen to represent them. Some effort is now being made to collect the scale-insects (Goccidcs) which are of great economic importance. The Lecanium coffece and nigrum that attack the coffee-trees and the white mealy scale (Dactylopius adonidum) which is such a pest in Ceylon belong to this group ; algo the Carteria lacca frora which is produced the lac and lac-dye of commerce.

At the same time, we may take warning from the conf usion in the results of the investigations into the European fornis how very necessary it is, from the similarity in appearance and small size of the great majority of the species, to use the microscope more freely than has apparently liitherto been the practice in ascertainiug the generic charac- ters.

Signoret (in l. supra c.) reviews the history o£ tlie group, first esta- blislied by Gcoffroy, in his work describing the insccts found in the neigh- bourhood of Paris, under the name Tettigonia. In 1794, Fabricius sepa- rated the same group in his Ent. Syst. (iv. p. 27) under thc namc Cictula, and in his Syst. Rhyn. (1803) formed from it thc gcncra Jassu^jJ^lata, and (Jixitis. In 1811, Latreille re-established Tettiijonia, and, in 1821, (]\Iag. Ent. iv.) Gcrmar reduced it by creating thc genera Gypona, Civlidea, and others. In 1825, Lepelletier de St. Fargeau and Audinet- Scrville (Enc. Meth. x. p. GOO) formed two divisions, Tettigonia ior ihosG in wliich thc head is rounded beyond the cyes sxndj^roconia for thosc in •wliich thc hcacL is conical. Iij 1829, Latreille (Regnc Anim. 2nd cd., ii, 221) scparatecr(7i'cc7t.s from Proconia, and, in 1832, Dc Laportc do Castelneau (A. S. E. F. i, p. 222) fornicd Ocrmaria and lihaplddorhinus. lu 1835, Burmeister (Handb. ii, (i) p. 117) restorcd i\\o~Tcttigonia o£ Latrcille and Gcrmar witli four subdivisions, and, again in 1840, Blan- chard (Hist. Nat. Ins. iii) admits divisions only. In 1813, Amyot and Servillc (Hist. Nat. Ins. Hem. p. 5G9) admitTettigonia^^Gennaria, tTiccus, Bhaphidorhinus, and Proconia, and addAulacizes, Diestostemvia, and ' Acopsis. In 1850, Spinola (Tav. Sin. Modena) created Diedrocephala ^uS^WolfeUa, and, in the same year, Signorct crcatcd BiJohopterus (Rcv. Zool. (2 scr.) ii, p. 284), In 1851, Fitch formed Ilelochara for an American species, and, in the same year, Walker crc^iico^ProjJctes. In 1852-54, Signorct (A. S. E. F. (3 ser.) i-iii.) kccps one gcnus aiid five groups, and notices some 39G spccies tlien recordcd from all parts of thc Avorld. Stal, in 18G9 (Hem. Fabr. ii, p. 59, notc), includes the group in his subfamily Jassida and division Proconiida, prcserving Ger- maria^Giccus, ^Biestostemma, uhaphidorhintis, Proconia, n,naTettigonia and adding a number of his own genera. In 1870, Stal (Ofvcrs. K. V.- A. Forh. p. 733) raises the group to the dignity of a subfamily under the name Proconiina. In 1884, Taschcnberg (Zeitsch. Kat. Wiss. Halle, p. 431) sinks the gcncra and reviews the Avholc as one genus with sub- divisions runuing so closely the one into the othcr as not to afford good generic characters. After examining the figurcs givcn by Signoret, this appears to me to be the most reasonable solution of tlie difficulties cou- nected with the arrangement of the insects bclonging to this group, which now numbcr nearly five hundrcd. ^35.

This is one of the oldest names in the oi"der and has suffcred so many changes by the creation of new genera that it woukl be uuprofit- able to trace back its history, Taking tho changes of the hasfc quarfcer of acenfcury, we fiiid that in 18GG Stal addeLMjepfo2>sallria^ijosini>ps(iltria,and fjFomjwiiia to th^^inuhibia group.

In i8G2, Stal (Rio. Jan. Hem. p. i9) distributed the species oi^ Gicada proper aniongst the subgenera Gicada,^^aphura, Farnisa, Galyria, and '^runasis. AU of those were raised to the rank of genera in i8GG (Hem. Afric. iv, p. 8) and, excciitin^XHcada, were thrown into thc Ti7;j(;e« group. To the Cicada group were a,ddedjIenicopsalfria, Nosola, and iJlmathiq, in 18GG ; and to thd Tibicen gvonp^ilenicotettix in 1858;Pj/'?/ia, Stagira, Gal- lipsalfria, and' Tijmpanistria, in 1861; ^nd Ftustia aiid BivAuria, in i8GG. In 1870, Stal sfcill furfcher divided the species of his restrictod 'Cicada in establishing the snhgeneiti^^hremistica, < Macrotristia, Gicada, and ^^Dicerojirocfa. I doubt much whether any of those Indian species which stiil bear tho genoric name Cicada really belong to thafc genus : if they do, they belong to tlie subgenus Cicada, which has the sides of the thorax anteriorly without a lobe ; the sides of the last dorsal segment in cf posteriorly unarmed, very often produced in an acute toofch in fclie middle ; the sixth ventral segment in j broadly, angularly sinuatod at the apex ; and thc iiiterior uhiar vein sfcraiglifc or bufc sHghfcly curvcd.
