﻿of Tettigonidje which has long bristly hind legs, and is sepa- 

 rated from neighbouring groups by its subtrigonate but rounded 

 head : from Eupteryx it is at once distinguished by its ocelli, 

 which are absent in that genus, and generally it differs also in 

 its more robust form and shorter wings, which do not cover 

 the apex of the abdomen in the typical sjiecies, and these are 

 further marked by the elevated anchor-shaped lines on the 

 fore j)art ot the head. Although the following species vary 

 considerably in their form, yet thev all agree in having two 

 ocelli behind the anterior margin of the head, but they are 

 more remote and placed further behind in some than in others. 

 a. Ocelli remote, placed on each side of the crown of the head. 



1. A. viridis Linn. — Panz. 32. 9. — Length 5 lines. 



Elytra green or bluish, head yellow spotted with black. 

 May to August, grassy places and aquatic plants, England ; beginning of 

 August, marshy places by the side of Loch Fad, &'C., Isle of Bute. 



h. Ocelli less remote and placed more forward. 



2. interruptus Linn. — DcGccr 3. tab. 12. f. 6 — \0.—Panz. 



32. 8. 



Length 2| lines: elytra yellow with a black longitudinal stripe on 

 each, divided obliquely. 

 May, grassy places ; end of July, Niton, Isle of Wight, and Dover; mid- 

 dle of August, Isle of Arran, Scotland. 



3. Germari Curt. Brit. Eiit.pl. 572?. 



Found on the Burdock the end of June at Clifton by Bristol, and pre- 

 viously near London. 



c. Ocelli approaching the margin of the eyes and near to that 



of the head. 



5. niaculipes Curt. Guide. — Length 2\ lines. 



Dull greenish ochre, shining : head lunate, trigonate before, two black 

 marks on the crown, and numerous black lines across the face, a line 

 of black dots near the anterior margin of the thorax : scutellum orange 

 with a black cross and several spots : thighs piceous, tips ochreous, pos- 

 terior tibia- with the inner margin piceous, the outer one dotted with 

 the same and their tarsi piceous, excepting the base and apex. — Obs. 

 some specimens are almost destitute of black markings, excepting the 

 tibiae. 

 Beginning of May, not uncommon in Coomb-wood. 



7. nervosus Curt. Guide. — Lengtii 2^ lines. 



Slender, ochreous ; head lunate, slightly trigonate, with 2 yellow stripes, 

 thorax with .'; : elytra longer than the body, sublanceolate, nervures 

 whitish, with the apical cell dark brown and forming a stripe. 

 Further removed from the type in habit than the following species, but 



the head is less different. I have found it the middle of October in the 



Islands near Wakering, Essex. 



d. Anterior margin of the head thin and projecting over the 



face, which is concave above. Ocelli lurther removed 

 from the eyes and front. 



G. irroratus Curt. Guide. — Length 2^ lines. 



Shining dusky ochre, minutely aiul thickly freckled with brown : legs, 

 especially the 1 anterior, banded and spotted with the same colour. 

 A single specimen taken by myself.
