As already pointed out, the most striking general character of this group consists in the uniform texture of the forewings.

There are eleven families included in the Homoptera, all the species belonging to which feed upon vegetable juices.
Family 1, Cicadidæ.—These insects are mostly inhabitants of warm climates, and our only British representative of the family (C. anglica) is one of the smaller species, the wings only expanding about an inch and a quarter. Four or five hundred species, however, are known to inhabit the world, and some of them attain to considerable dimensions.
