FULGORA MACULATA.

Stoll's Cicad. Pl. 98; Pl. 26. fig. 143, and fig. A.
This handsome species is nearly of the same size as that last noticed, and very similar to it in shape. The snout, however, is rather longer in proportion to the body, rather tapering more towards the extremity, and considerably more curved. The whole body, as well as the snout, is black, somewhat shining, and slightly glossed with green; antennæ and eyes greyish; legs brownish-black. The ground colour of the hemelytra is dark-brown, the surface marked with numerous large rounded spots, those towards the base glaucous-green, the others appearing yellowish-green, owing to the numerous reticulated nervures of that colour which traverse them. The wings are brownish-black posteriorly, the whole basal region brilliant bluish-green, which colour emits irregular rays towards the hinder margin.
Found at Tranquebar, on the Coromandel coast.
APHANA SUBMACULATA.
Plate XXIV. Fig. 1.
Aphana comprehends a number of insects nearly allied to the Fulgoræ, and with which they were formerly confounded. The present species is figured for the first time from a specimen in the Rev. F. W. Hope's collection. The expansion of the wings is not much short of three inches: head, pro- and mesothorax luteous, the former with a short conical flat horn; eyes red; metathorax and abdomen brown; anterior wings rich fulvous-red, a slender apical mar-
