150 ORIENTAL CICADIDM.

Species known at present by the female sex onhj.

6. Baeturia innotabilis. (Tab. XV., figs. 15, a, h.)

Cicada innotabilis, Walker, Journ. Linn. Soc, Zool. vol. x. p. 93, n. 23 (1867). "Female. Testaceous. Ocelli encircled with black. Face with transverse black lines along each ■side. Prothoras with the sutures of the segments mostly black. Mesotborax piceous, with seven green stripes ; middle stripe and inner pair much abbreviated hindward. Fore tibiae with two stout acute spines. Wings pellucid ; veins black, tawny towards the base ; costa tawny." " Length of the body 10 lines ; of the wings 27 lines."

Hab. — Malayan Archipelago : Morty (Wallace — Brit. Mus.).; Batchian (Doherty — coll. Dist.). This species is only known to the writer by the female type in the British Museum, which is here figured, and by two female specimens from Batchian in my own collection; Walker's original description is reproduced above.

G. Baeturia subnotata. (Tab. XV., figs. 16, a, h.)

Cicada subnotata, Walker, Journ. Linn. Soc, Zool. vol. x. p. 93, n. 21 (1867). "Femalr. Testaceous. Head with a black jjoint on each side between the eyes; face with a black stripe. Prothorax with four lanceolate black marks on each side of the sutures, the fourth or most exterior pair larger than the others. Mesothorax with a transverse black dot on each side near the hind border. Abdomen with a row of short transverse brown streaks on each side. Wings pellucid ; costa and veins of the fore wings red ; hind wings with black veins."

" Length of the body 11 lines ; of the wings 27 lines."

Hab. — Malayan Archipelago: Batchian (Wallace — Brit. Mus.). The female type specimen in the British Museum is here figured. 7. Baeturia stigma. (Tab. XV., figs. 17, a, h.)

Cicada stigma, Walker, Journ. Linn. !Soc., Zool. vol. x. p. 93, n. 25 (1867). "Female. Brown, testaceous beneath. Head dingy testaceous in front. Prothorax dingy testaceous about the sutures and about the hind border. Mesothorax testaceous about the hind border. Legs testaceous ; femora and tibiae striped with brown ; fore femora with three spines. Wings pellucid ; veins testaceous ; costa of the fore wings with a brown streak at rather beyond two-thirds of the length." " Length of the body 7^ lines ; of the wings 20 lines."

Hab. — Malayan Archipelago : Gilolo (Wallace — Brit. Mus.); Batchian (Doherty — coll. Dist.). 8. Baeturia bicolorata. (Tab. XIV., figs. 26, a, 1>.)

Bataiia bicolorata. Distant, Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. ser. G, vol. ix. p. 316 (1892). Head, pronotum, and mesonotum pale greenish ; abdomen warm ocliraceous, its apex green. Eyes pale fuscous. Head beneath, sternum, and legs pale greenish ; abdomen beneath ochraceous. Tarsi ochraceous.

Tegmina and wings pale hyaline, the venation greenish or ochraceous ; costal membrane of tegmina and the extreme bases of tegmina and wings pale greenish.

Piostrum reaching the posterior coxte, with its apex black ; anterior femora with three distinct spines. Long. excl. tegm. ? , 23 millim. Exp. tegm. 65 millim.

Hab.— New Guinea: Fly Eiver (Austr. Mus., Sydney, &, coll. Dist.). A Bceturia of striking bicoloration, of which at present I have only seen two female examples.

9. Baeturia ? sandaracata. (Tal). YII., figs. 1), a, h.) Batnria mntthtracata, Distant, Ann. Mus. Civ., Genoa, ser. 2a, vol. vi. p. 458, t. iv. f. 1, a, b (1888). (7 . Body above, sternum, ami legs pale testaceous ; abdomen beneath ochraceous. Tegmina and wings pale hyaline, the venation and the costal membrane of the first pale testaceous. The rostrum reaches the intermediate coxa;.

Long. excl. tegm. <? , 30 millim. Exp. tegm. 72 millim. Hab. — Burma : Teinzo (Fea— Genoa Mus.).

This species, which is the hirgest of the genus yet knowu to the writer, differs in some siibgeneric respects from the other species. Thus the seventh apical area of the tegmina is about equal in length to, and not longer than, tlie eighth area, and the oi^ercula are sufficiently large to cover the sonorous cavities.

B. sandaracata will probably form the type of a new genus, but at present I have left it in Baiuria. I have only seen one specimen.

Genus ACRILLA.

Acrillii, Still, Trans. Ent. See. Lend. scr. iii. vol. i. p. 575 (1863). "Caput parvum, thoracis antico paullo augustius, vertice angusto ; fronte plus quam dimidium latitudiuis faciei occupante, paullo prominente. Antennarum articulus primus brevis. Rostrum coxas intermedias baud superans. Thorax lateribus baud dilatatis. Tegmina non nisi apice an^ustissime marginata, abdominis apicem baud superantia, venis uluaribus basi distantibus, areolis apicalibus undecim, areola discoidali venas longitudinales sex postice emittente. Alaj anguste marginativ, areolis apicalibus septem. Abdomen maris valde inJ3atum, tympanis detectis, operculis miuutis brevissimis. Pedes mediocres, femoribus anticis iucrassatis, trispinosis."

152 ORIENTAL CICABIDM.

SPECIES KNOWN TO THE WEITEK ONLY BY DESCRIPTION, AND UNABLE TO BE GENEEICALLY IDENTIFIED.

1. Tettigonia conspurcata.

Tettujonia cunspuirotii. Fabricius, Gen. lus. p. 298 (1777); Sp. Ins. ii. p. 320, n. 13 (1781); Mant. Ins. ii. p. 267, n. 17 (1787); Ent. Syst. iv. p. 22, u. 20 (1794) ; Syst. Ehyng. p. 39, n. 30 (1803). " T. atra elytris basi flavo maculatis, ano flavo." " Habitat in India. Dr. Fothergill."

This species was quite unknown to Stal, who, in his ' Heiniptera Fabriciana,' voL ii. p. 110, only enumerates the name, and makes no attempt at generic identification. 2. Cicada ferruginea.

Cicada fh-rw/iurd, Olivier, Enc. Meth. v. p. 750, n. 19, t. 112, f. 1 (1790). Stoll, Cig. f. 86.

OHvier evidently only reproduced Stoll's figure and description, but he supplied the species with a distinctive name. The following is Stoll's description : — " La CiijaJe Chantcusc coulcur dc Eouille." " Cette grande Cigale a le dessous du corps & les pattes de eouleur de Eouille avec des nuances brunes, ainsi qu'elle se montre, par le dessus, dans la representation. Les Etuis & les Ailes son fences, mais leurs bords inferieurs clairs transparens." Hab. — "Ellevientdes Indes Orientales." 3. Cicada vacua.

Cicada vacua, Olivier, Enc. Meth. v. p. 757, t. 113, f. 10 (1790;. Stoll, Cig. fig. 68.

The same remarks apply as to the preceding species, and the following is Stoll's description : — " La Cigale ruide."

" La Tete, le Corps & les Pattes sont uoir minime ou de eouleur fauve ; I'Abdomen est vuide & comme transparent, son dernier anneau est garni de duvet blanc; les Etuis & les Ailes sont transparens comme du verre."

Hab. — " Elle vient du Japon."

4. Cicada clara.

Cicada clara, Motschulsky, Bull. Soo. Nat. Mosc. sxsix. p. 181; (1886). " Statura et color C. irnii sed thoraee dorso magis nigro. Elongata, attenuata, opaca, fusco-testaceo, capite thoraceque nigris, subtestaceo pictis, hoc lateribus viridi maculatis, pectore atro, pedibus nigris testaceo annulatis ; <? , abdominis segment© penultimo subtus trapezoidale, ultimo attenuato, tympanis transversis femoribus anticis bidentatis." " ^ . Long. Corp. 12i 1. ; lat. 5 1. ; exp. alar. 31 1." Hab.—Japan.

OniKSTAL CICAJ>I1>.^. 153 SPECIES DESCEIBED BY WALKER, OF WHICH THE TYPES ABE APPARENTLY NON-EXISTENT AND THE DESCRIPTIONS INSUFFICIENT.

I liavc already had occasion {mite, p. 41)) to refer to tlie difliculty which appertains to the identification of Walker's species, without reference can be made to the types in the British Museum or elsewhere. The descriptions are often of a misleading nature, being too frequently based on unimportant characters, with an utter absence of generic apprehension, so that at present, without the whole collection is carefully gone through, one cannot tell whether a specimen bears a Walkerian name or not. This is almost equivalent to the case of an ornithologist who, seeking a name for a Shrike, should have to search through the whole order Passercs before he was certain that his species had not been described. I believe in the family Ckadith I have made the study of this unnecessary problem, and the following described species ?, of which the types either do not exist, or have been incorporated — without notice — w'ith other species of which they were synonyms, may be considered as non-existent and unworthy of further notice : — 1. Cephaloxys unicolor. Walker, List Hom. iv. p. 1132 (1852). Eecorded as from Java. 2. Dundubia guttigera, Walker, Journ. Linn. Soc, Zool. vol. i. p. 83 (1856). Recorded as from Malacca.

3. Cicada virguncula. Walker, Journ. Linn. Soc, Zool. vol. i. p. 84 (1856). Recorded as from Malacca.

4. Dundubia decern, Walker, Journ. Linn. Soc, Zool. vol. ii. p. 141 (1857). Eecorded as from Borneo.

5. Dundubia duarum. Walker, Journ. Linn. Soc, Zool. vol. ii. p. 141 (1857). Eecorded as from Borneo.

SPECIES WRONGLY ASCRIBED TO THIS FAUNA.

1. Tibicen auratus.

OV(/(/(( uumUt, Walker, List Hom. i. p. 215, n. 108 (1850); Atkins., J. A. S. Beng. vol. liii. p. 280, n. 72 (1885). Tibicen.' auratus, Atkins., .J. A. S. Beng. vol. Iv. p. 178, n. 6-4 (1886). Hab.

— Tasmania.

Walker added no habitat to his description of this species, but simply stated " From Dr. Hooker's collection." This misled Mr. Atkinson, who, in his " Notes on Indian Ehynchota," enumerated the species, and stated "Reported from Assam." On referring to the "Record Book" at the British Museum, I found the specimens ou which the species was founded clearly recorded " Purchased at Hooker's sale — from Van Dieman's Land." I have a Tasmauian specimen in my own collection.
