(Mähren: an Äfriplex tatarica: an der Houcela bei Proßnitz. 

 Spitznek. — England: Lit. viresceiis : this species ;^is very closely 

 allied to L. concolor , but may be easily separated from it by its 

 duller appearance, the dark outer cell-nerve, and the yellow apex 

 and inner cell-nerve. Like the other species of the genus, it changes 

 very much in colour after death. The head becomes yellow, with 

 a transverse brownish streak on the crown, next the hinder margin 

 of the eyes ; anterior portion of the thorax , scutellum , anterior 

 margin of the corium and cuneus , more or less yellow ; in one 

 specimen, except the membrane, the entire insect has become pale 

 brownish yellow, with a few black spots next the posterior margin 

 of the pronotum. — It appears to be very scarce, as we have only met 

 with 3 specimens, one at Bromley, amongst grass. at the roots of broom- 

 bushes, and 2 others at Weybridge, by sweeping, all taken in July. 

 — The insect has been examined by Dr. Fieber, who pronounced 

 it to be distinct. — [Lit. concolor ^ : this species is very closely 

 allied to L. flavosparsus , but it is somewhat larger and stouter, 

 and may readily be separated from the latter insect by the absence 

 of the yellow spots on the elytra. — It has occurred sparingly at 

 Weybridge, Tunbridge Wells, etc., by sweeping, in July and August.] 

 Douglas and Scott (1865). — Very common on Sparüum, gene- 

 rally distributed (1875). — common, generally distributed where 

 Broom occurs (1892). Saunders.)
