The animal kingdom : arranged after its organization, forming a natural history of animals, and an introduction to comparative anatomy . CiTiiis, Latr., resembles Lystra, but t^e second joint of the antennae is cylindric and entire. The genns Achiltts,K. [founded upon an Australian species, ^4. flammeus, K.] scarcely differs from Cixiust I have separated, under the generic name ofTittigomefra, insects analogous to the preceding, but in which the antennae are lodged between the posterior and lateral angles of the head and those of the anterior extremity of the thorax. The eyes are not prominent. [Small European insects.] Ctelidea, Germar, appears to be closely allied to Tettigometra, of which they have the aspect, and are described as having the antenns inserted beneath the eyes. In the others the ocelli are wanting. The species which have the wmg-covers • mesothorax, compose the subgenus Piecilopt< ^ (-1 Issus, Fab., is composed of those species in which the prothorax is at least as long as the mesothorax, and the wing-covers, shorter, or as long as the abdomen, are dilated at the base, and subsequently -Fulgora laterni and, the prothorax evidently shorter^y,Flata, Fabr. the middle than the HEMIPTERA. 509 ^ In others, the antennae arc at least as long as the head, and often inserted in a notch below the eyes. AnotiOt Kirby, allied to Otiocenis, and which approaches the preceding in the mode of insertion of theantcnnx. [Small exotic insects.] . Atiraca, Latr. (Delphax, Fab.), has the antenna; inserted in a notch below the eyes, as long as the head andthorax, with the tirst joint generally longer than the second, compressed, and angulated; the ocelli arcwanting. [J. clavicornia, Latr., a small, exceedingly active species, and several others, inhabitants of thuscountry.] Delplun, Fab., has the antennae similarly inserted, but not longer than the head, with the first joint muchshorter than the second; the ocelli are present.
