This insect belongs to the same suborder as the preceding, but tothe family Fulgoi^uhe, the insects of which are remark-able for their marvelously quick jumping power, and forthe large size of the soft wings — some species lookingmuch like moths. The species under consideration isquite common on a variety of trees, and varies from lead-color to palegreen, and is dusted over with a fine white powder. Up to the time.
