The in fe a added under this Fabrician characler, is the fame that author defcribed from the cabinet of
Mr. Drury, and to which he exclufively refers. We believe the fpecimcn'is unique, a t leaft we have not
feen It in any oUier colleaion; and it has not been figured in any preceding publication. In the Linna-an
arrangement it muft be placed in the Cicada genus.

An undcfcribed fpecies; allied both to the C crcfh crucnuta and Cercofh -vcrf,color of Fabricius, but
clearly d iftina from e ith er; the thorax of the former being black; and the elytra o f the latter marked at
the bafe wilh two white fpots : the abdomen black. The thorax of our fpecies is black ; it has no white
fpots on the elytra; and the abdomen is o f a fanguincous red colour

W c are unable to difcover Ihls fpecies among the defcriptions o f Fabricius, and conclude it muft be a
new in fe a . Thc fituation o f the black fpots on the thorax, and efpecially that on the front of the head,
conftitute the decifive criterion o f this fpecies.
