SOME NEW GENERA AND SPECIES OF N. A. DERBIDAE WITH NOTES ON OTHERS (FULGORIDAE)

Abstract

Otiocerus kirbyi Fh. is unknown to the writer. It would fall under CC. of Group II by description. It may well be a pale form of one of these species. The species found in collections under the name of signoreti Fh. is undoubtedly reaumuri Kby. Metcalf separated the latter as “without” the five spots ignoring the fact that Kirby specially describes them. In the explanation of Plate 40 Metcalf has reversed the name of O. degeeri, and coqueberti. The head of the example of the latter species must have been distorted or out of focus as in nature the apex is but little less than a right angle.
