Length S 6 millim. Hah. Ceylon {fide Melkhar); Peradeniya {Green). I fio-ure a specimen which appears to represent this species, thetype of which I have not seen. The dark dorsum is reflected 366 through the tegmina, and thus gives them the clouded appearanceas in the above figure. At the basal margin of the scutellum aretwo very obscure transverse linear black spots ; the prouotum isthickly finely tiansversely striate, the face obliquely striate on each-lateral area. A single example was sent me by Mr. Green. Division CICADULARIA. Cicadulini, Van Duzee, Trans. Am. Ent. Soc. six, p. 298 (1892).
