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 anarticulated seta.[C. vulnerata, Rossi, the only British species closely allied to C. sanffuinolenta, Linn., is a common insect, and the handsomest in the family; being black, withblood-red spots.] C. [Ap/irophora] spumaria, Linn., is an ex-tremely abundant species, the larva of which is found uponleaves and twigs in the midst of a frothy secretion, of a vihitecolour, which has been commonly called Fig. 101.—Aphrophora spumaria ; tr^ imago ; 6, frothy secretion In the other Cicadariae, terminating this family, [andforming the tribe Cicadellines, and which in tlie earlierworks of Fabricius formed his genus Cicada], the pro- thorax is not at all, or scarcely, prolonged posteriorly,and is terminated by a straiglit, or nearly straight, line, as long as the breadth of the body, thescutellum, at its base, occupying a great portion of this breadth. Eulopa, Fallen, has the eyes very prominent, the head but little advanced beyond the eyes, but depressed,and forming a kind of ridge round the face ; two ocelli placed on the posterior and superior part of the head, andlegs destitute of spines or teeth. C. Ericce, a small species, [found on heaths]. Eupellv, Germar, has the head in the form of an elongated and very Hat triangle, with the ocelli situated i
