November, 1874 ] 121 



death of my friend Mr. T. J. Bold, be Bcnt me two Bpecimens of nn 

 insect wliich I could not detcrmiuo from any description to be met 

 with in books. After sending it to Dr. J. Sablberg (wbo returned it 

 ■nitliout a name, or even a remark), I betbougbt me of Dr. Fieber'a 

 drawings and M. Lethierry, to whom I wrote, asking bim to be good 

 cnougb to let me see tbem for a single day ; and, owing to bis great 

 kindness, I bave been enabled to satisfy myself tbat Mr. Bold's species 

 is no otber than StroyigyJocephahis Megerlei, Fieb. Tbis name, 

 wbicb I retain in respect to bis memory, is only to be met with on the 

 drawing and in his Catalogue of Cicadiuen, published in 1872. I there- 

 upon hastened to draw up a description, and bad actually sent it to be 

 printed, when, amongst some Homoptera collected by Mr. E. Saunders 

 at Chobham, my eye fell upon the real " Simon Pure," the missing S. 

 (if/restis. I am now, therefore, able to describe the only two species at 

 l)reseut known to be European. After studying the descriptions of 

 Aynhhjccphahis irroratus, Curtis, B. E., 572, n. 6, and Phrynomorphus 

 niflihia, ^, Curtis, Ent. Mag., i, 19^!, I believe they also only refer to 

 Alkj/sanus obscurellus, Kirscbbaum.
