PREFACE

To carry out my intention of giving descriptions of the
new species of Insects in my Collection, I have requested
Mr. F. Walker to examme my Homoptera, and the following
paper is the result of his labours, irrespective of his papers
on the Homoptera collected by Mr. Wallace in the Malay
Peninsula and East India Islands, which will be foimd in
the 'Journal of the Proceedings of the Linnean Society.'

Order I. CICADINA, Burm.

Fam. 1. STRIDULANTIA, Burm.

About five hundred species of this family have been described,
and they are divided into twenty-two genera. Of these several are limited
in their geographical range ; 'thus Polyneura, Pycna, Tacua, Tosena,
inhabit Hindostan and the neighbouring isles; Platypleura and Oxypleura
extend from West and South Africa to Hindostan, Java and Amboina ;
Zammara is peculiar to America; Tetligades only inhabits Chili ; Thopba,
'Mtigarcta and Cystosoma are Australian ; the range of Dundubia begins
in hiB Himalaya, and various species inhabit many of the islands between
Hindostan and the open Pacific Ocean ; Tettigomyia is confined to South
Africa";: Mogannia, Huechys and Gaaana extend from Hindostan to Java
and China, and Huechys also inhabits Australia.

Genus PLATYPLEURA, Amyot.
Platypleuba arcuata.

Fulva, P. ocellatse similis ; caput supra nigricans, litura anlica nigra ;
prothorax vitta postice dilatata maculisque quatuor nigris ; mesotho-
4^ rax vittis quatuor furcatis nigris ; abdomen fasciis interruptis apice-

que nigris ; alec anticmfulvcc, fusco nebulosce, liluris duabus coslalibus

Female. Ferruginous, stout, like C. Brizo in structure, with shining
testaceous hairs. Hind border of the prothorax greenish tawny. Meso-

along the marginal veins; first and second transverse veins very oblique,
parted from each other by more than twice the length of each ; third

12 lines ; of the wings 36 lines.

This species much resembles C. Brizo, but may be distinguished by
the excavation on the hind border of the thorax, which is peeper and
shorter, by its shorter and less attenuated fore wings, and by its stouter and
black veins, in whose structure it also differs from C. Brizo.

Orange. Head black, ascending, as long as the body, green beneath,
with orange streaks on each side by the eyes. Thorax with a broad black
stripe. Prothorax with a black baud on each side. Mesothorax with a
black streak and three black dots on each side. Anterior tibiae black.
Fore wings black, very thickly reticulated with orange, and adorned with
six orange bauds ; first and third bands regular; second slightly dislocated
hindward, where it is occasionally joined to the third ; fourth consisting of
three small widely separate dots ; fifth composed of four or sometimes of
five large spots, which are most often cunnectcfl ; sixth very irregular,
composed of three, four or five spots and dots of various size. Hind
wings with the apical third part black. Length of the body 17 — 21 lines;
of the wings 30—36 lines.

This species belongs to the first division of the genus, and is most
allied to H. viridirostris, from which it may be distinguished by lis
brighter orange colour, by its longer head, and by its lore wings, where
the bands are more regular, and not bordered with white. The first
division contains the species where the head is compressed and channelled
to the tip; in the second the head is globose and smooth towards the
tip.
