Salda jiarginella. 

 Salda margiiiella, Fieb., Eur. Ilem., 145, 8 (18G1), nee H.-S., nee S. 

 marginalis, Fall, (vide S. opaeula, Zett. p. 9, ante). 



Oval, black, with short decumbent black hairs, aud slight golden 

 pubescence. Antennce black, first joint on the base, apex aud under- 

 side, and the second before the apex, ochreous or testaceous. Prono- 

 tum : sides slightly rounded. Elytra: anterior margin, except the base 

 aud apex, ochreous, with a short interruption beyond the middle, disc 

 with ocellus, streaks and spots similar to 8. saltatoria. 



Head: face clothed with fine golden pubescence; clypeus : margin incrassated, 

 ochreous. Antennce black, finely haired ; first joint ochreous on the base, apex, 

 and urder-side ; second, ochreous or testaceous before the apex. 



Thorax — pronotum short, sides slightly rounded, flattened, anterior callus ■with a 

 single fovea, bordered before and behind ■vrith a row of punctures. ScuteUitm 

 with a large, posteriorly abrupt fovea, surface crenulate, more strongly behind 

 the fovea. Elytra — clavus with a posterior, triangular, whitish spot ; corium : 

 margin black on the basal fourth and the ajiex, otherwise ochreous, the sub- 

 linear colouring widest posteriorly, wholly, or very nearly quite interrupted 

 beyond the middle by a slight jutting out of the black ground colour, so that 

 there appears to be a long, pale, marginal line, followed by a shorter one ; inside 

 the latter, and all but joined to it, is a round, whitish spot, and usually two 

 other smaller ones in a line with it nearer the base ; middle nerve black, bor- 

 dei-ed posteriorly on each side by an ochreous line, the outer one curved into 

 the apical black spot ; the usual ocellus near the base small, but distinct ; the 

 inner posterior angle with two or tlireo very small ochreous spots ; the posterior 

 margin narrowly black ; membrane ochreous, at the base more or less with 

 cloudy, blackish spots, the nerves and a long spot in each cell black, the marginal 

 area ochreous, broadly bordered with fuscous, and with a long black spot 

 exterior to the outer cell. Legs testaceous ; thighs with a black line beneath, 

 inner-side with brown spots ; tihice : outwardly with a black line from the base, 

 short on the third pair, apex of all with a black spot. 



Abdomen : beneath clothed with blackish hairs, the posterior margin of the segments 

 narrowly whitish. Length Ij line. 



Yery close to S. saltatoria, L., from which it is jiriiiui facie 

 distinguished by the first marginal streak of the elytra being the 

 longest, and by a certain softness of the markings which is difficult 

 to express in words. I have an example named for me, by Dr. Fieber 

 which answers very well to his description in the " Europaischen 

 lleuiiptcra," but not to llerrich-.Schaffer's dcf^criptiou or figure of
