C. aurita, Linn., [a species not uncommon in the woods in Kent]. r Ciccus, Latr., has the antennae terminated suddenly after the second joint in a seta composed of four distinct cylindric 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 additional genera in this group. Thà Eun/mela fenestrata, Serv. and St. F., described by them as Brazilian, is a native of New 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 at the genus' Issus. Cercopis, Fab., Germ. (Aphrophora, Germ.), has the third joint of the antennae conical, and terminated by an articulated seta. \C. vulnerata, Rossi, the only British species closely allied to C. sangidnolenta, Linn., is a common insect, and the handsomest in the family ; being black, with blood-red spots.] C. [Aphrophord\ spmnaria, Linn., is an ex- tremely abundant species, the larva of which is found upon leaves and twigs in the midst of a frothy secretion, of a white colour, which has been commonly called Cuckoo-spit. y In the other Cicadarise, terminating this family, [and forming the tribe Cicadellines, and whicli in the earlier . works of Fabricius formed his genus Cicada'], the pro- Fig. 101.âAphrophora spuraaria ; a, imago j b, frothy secretion ; c, pupa. thorax is not at all, or scarcely, prolonged posteriorly, and is terminated by a straight, or nearly straight, line, as long as the breadth of the body, the scutellum, at its base, occupying a great portion of this
