Enidella speciosa, Boh. A macropterous $ taken under similar 

 circumstances, and at the same time as the foregoing. 



Grypotes pineteUus, Zett. (Jassus pineteUus, Zett., puncticollis, 

 Sahib.). 



This is a genus new to Britain : the species in question has been 

 recorded from Scandinavia, Austria, France, and Germany. The 

 specimens in the British Museum are from Glogganitz and Hainfeld, 

 South Austria, and were taken by Dr. Eger. Zetterstedt 1 and 

 Melichar- state the habitat of G. pineteUus as being on or under pine 

 trees, the latter author mentioning Pinus sylvestris and P. nigricans 

 on the authority of Low. We took numerous examples of it near 

 Mildenhall in August and October last year. They appeared to be 

 confined to patches of rough grass consisting of mixed Agrostis tenuis 

 and Carex arenaria, which are common on the East Anglian heaths. 

 The patches of grass were growing under or near Scotch Pine (Pinus 

 sylvestris) ; but although these trees were carefully beaten, no speci- 

 mens occurred actually on them, all were swept from the grass before 

 referred to. 



We must acknowledge our indebtedness to Mr. E. A. Butler, who 

 kindly examined and determined a number of our Homoptera, and 

 among them detected the three species now recorded. The following 

 descriptions of the insects have been kindly supplied by him. 



Ar^opus pulchellus, Curt. 



Macropterous ? . Coloured similarly to the ,? , and with elytra nearly twice 

 as long as abdomen. Scutellum about twice as long as pronotum. 



Length, including elytra, 7i mm. 



EuiDELLA SPECIOSA, Boll. 



Macropterous ? . Fore parts similar to those of $ , but broader. Elytra 

 rather longer and broader than in <J , with the dark markings much reduced ; 

 the basal spot becomes a mere streak, and the apical band is reduced to spots 

 at base of membrane and apex of corium amidst which the veins remain 

 yellowish, and a faint cloud at the inner margin of the membrane. 



Length, including elytra, 6 mm. 



Genus Grypotes, Pieb. 



This genus of the Jassaria may be placed next to Cicadula. It is easily 

 recognised by the rounded vertex, which is short, about § as long as the prono- 

 tum, and of almost equal length throughout. The clypeus is narrow and 

 the antennae are about half as long as the body.
