The animal kingdom, arranged after its organization : forming a natural history of animals, and an introduction to comparative anatomy . nae is cylindric and entire. The genns Achilus,K. [founded upon an Australian species, A. flammeus, K.] scarcely differs from Cixius, I have separated, under the generic name of Tittigomctra, insects analogous to the preceding, but in which theantennae are lodged between the posterior and lateral angles of the head and those of the anterior extremity ofthe thorax. The eyes are not promment. [Small European insects.] Ca-lidea, Germar, appears to be closelyallied to Tettigometra, of which they have the aspect, and are described as having the antenna; inserted beneaththe the others the ocelli are wanting. The species which have the wing-covers large, and the prothorax evidently shorter in the middle than themesothorax, compose the subgenus Paciloptera, Latr., Flata, Fabr. Issus, Fab., is composed of those species in which the prothorax is at least as long as the mesothorax, andthe wing-covers, shorter, or as long as the abdomen, are dilated at the base, and subsequently HEMIPTERA. 569 In others, the antennae are at least as long as the head, and often inserted in a notch below the eyes. Anotia, Kirby, allied to Otiocerus, and which approaches the preceding in the mode of insertion of theantennae. [Small exotic insects.] Asiraca, Latr. (Delpliax, Fab.), has the antenna; inserted in a notch below the eyes, as long as the head andthorax, with the first joint generally longer than the second, compressed, and angulated; the ocelli arewanting. [A. clavicornis, Latr., a small, exceedingly active species, and several others, inhabitants of thiscountry.] Delpliax, Fab., has the antennae similarly inserted, but not longer than the head, with the first joint muchshorter than the second ; the ocelli are present. [Numerous very small species, found by sweeping grass at thesides of roads, commons, &c. Some of the species occasion
