INTRODUCTION.

The principal object of the present Catalogue lias been to
give a complete list of the specimens of Homopteroiis Insects
contained in the collection of the British Museum, indicating
at the same time the peculiarities of each, as regai'ds variation
of character, locality, and the som'ce from whence it has been
derived. With this view, the different indi\iduals of each
species contained in the collection are indicated by the letters a,
b, c, &c., foUowiug the name of the species and its synonymes,
and the description, if it appeared to have been before un-
described,

Tliis part of the Catalogiie of Homopterous Insects has
been prepared and the new species described by Mr. Francis
Walker, so well known for his attention to this order of
Insects

The remainhig part, containing the other famihes, is in hand,
and mil foUow as soon as it can be completed.

Fam. I. STRIDULANTIA.

Stridulantia, Burm. Handb. Ent. ii. 1, 170.

Note. — The fore-wing of nearly all the species in this family con-
tains sixteen areolets, which Germar distinguishes by the followiiig
names: — one primitive areolet; one front areolet ; six discoidal
areolets ; and ei^jht marginal areolets. The flap is ai the base of
the hind l)ordcr of the hind wing, and can be folded beneath. In
the fore-wing there is a small corresponding part which 1 have
named the fore-flap, but it does not ibid. The first cross-vein forms
the base of the second marginal areolet, and the second forms the
base of the third ; the third forms the base of the fifth, the fourth of
the seventh, and the fifth of tlie eighth. The angles mentioned are
outward, and are formed by the base of each cross-vein.

Note. — C. Aquila and C. Accipiter have two additional cross-
veins dividing the third and fourth discoidal areolets. There are
indications of this disposition in other large species, and nearly all
the Cicadas, with the exception of a few of the smallest, show the
rudiments of these veins between the above-mentioned areolets where
the longitudinal vein has a knot which is the point of intersection
of the invisible cross- veins.

black towards the tips ; fore border yellow, somewhat convex, widened
near the brand; it is there slightly notched ami very narrow, but
again widens towards the tip ; fore-membranes pale yellow ; tlaps
colourless; the first areolet is very short, and in the specimen
described is divided longitudinally into two areolets, the upper of
