1874.] 11 



The Bpecies belongs to the saltatoria group, but cannot be cannot 

 be confounded with any other. It has been seen by Drs. Fieber, Stal, 

 J. Sahlberg, and 0. Router, and is new to them. 



I took one specimen on the shore at Southampton in September, 

 1863, and one at Bascombe Chine, near Bournemouth, in September, 

 1871 (E. ]\r. M., viii, 137), and several were captured last autumn in 

 a marsh at Ilythe, near Southampton Water, among Spartina striata, by 

 Mr. E. G. Keely, and kindly forwarded.

 ochreous, with a central irregular black spot, the light colour then 

 narrow on the margin and again expanding aa a long spot, interior to 

 this a rounded pale spot ; middle nerve black, posteriorly margined 

 on each side with ochreous, a small spot at the inner angle, and one 

 or two inwardly on the disc ; membrane pale ochreous ; nerves, a spot 

 in each cell, and a large one near the apex of the outer cell, black. 

 Legs testaceous, with dark lines and spots. 



Head : clypeus — margin very slightly incrassated, ochreous or testaceous ; face 

 testaceous. Antennce black, first joint testaceous, upper-side with a more or
