The animal kingdom : arranged after its organization, forming a natural history of animals, and an introduction to comparative anatomy . evated in the middle, nor posteriorly prolonged, offering only lateral dilatations, and in whichthe mesothorax assumes the form of a triangular scutellum, of the ordinary size ; the wing-covers arealways exposed ; the posterior tibia; are more or less spined. In many, such as the following [which compose the tribe Cercopides], the thorax has the form ofan irregular hexagon, being prolonged and narrowed behind, and terminated by a truncature fitting tothe base of the scutellum, and often receiving it; this truncature being concave, or emarginate. ^?Etalion, Latr., has the crown of the head transverse, the forehead being suddenly in front, and theantenna: are inserted above a line drawn between the eyes. [Brazihan insects.] In the three following subgenera the vertex is triangular and bears the ocelli, and the antennae are mscrted in aline drawn between the Ledra, Fab., has the head very flat between the eyes, like a transverse clypeus j the sides of the prothorax are.

O Ciccus, Latr., has the antennie terminated suddenly after the second joint in a seta composed of four distinctcylindric and elongated joints; the anterior extremity of the head is generally advanced. [Exotic species.]Messrs. Serville and Saint Fargeau [as well as Drs. Germar and Burmeister] have established numerous additionalgenera in this group. The Eurymela fenestrata, Serv. and St. F., described by them as Brazilian, is a native ofNew South Wales, the description given of which by these authors being inexact, the insect possessing ocelli,although difficult to be detected. Hence this genus ought to be introduced
