»S^. marginnlis (margincUa), which are quoted by Fichcr. Of tho 

 difference of the littter, Fieber seems to have become aware, as, after 

 tlio publication o£ his work, lie wrote on the ticket of my specimen, 

 " S. marginella, Fieb., Eur. Hem., nee Il.-Schff." Thoms. Opusc. iv, 

 407, 13, quotes *S^. mnr(jineUa, Fieb.,=AS'. opacula, Zett., but, as above 

 noted, thit) is not correct. 



Hitherto rare ; I hare two examples which I took at Deal, in 

 August, 1863. 



Salda rrcicoLA. 



Sahla fueicoJa, J. Sahib., Not. Fenn., li, 301 (1870). 



Shoi't-oval, black, dull ; densely clothed with golden pubescence. 

 Anfennce black, 1st joint testaceous inwardly, 2nd fulvous on tho 

 apical third. Pi-onotum short, sub-trapezoidal, anterior callus long. 

 Wi/tra — elaviis with a sub-apical spot. Corium : anterior margin in the 

 middle with a long linear vitta, followed by a shorter one which does 

 not reach tho apex, and is frequently confluent with the lowest of 

 three spots in a line next the marginal area, the disc otherwise marked 

 as in S. saltatoria, L., but more distinctly ; all the markings pale 

 ochreous. Membrane pale ochreous, base (except two pale spots), 

 nerves, and a long spot in each cell, black. Le^s pale testaceous. 



Head — clypeus : anterior margin narrowly incrassated, oclireous. Face ochreous or 

 testaceous. Rostrum piceous. Antennee : Ist joint testaceous, exteriorly with 

 a black line ; 2ncl about twice the length of the let, mostly fulvous on tho 

 apical third. 



Thorax — pronotum short, sub-trapozoidal, faintly punctate, sides anteriorly slightly 

 rounded, flattened, the margin slightly rcflexcd, anterior callus occupying more 

 than half the length, with one central fovea. Sctitellum large, with a slight, 

 transverse, median depression. Elytra — clavus with a sub-apical, elongate, 

 ochreous spot. Corium : anterior margin at the base rellexed, in the middle a 

 long linear vitta, followed by a shorter one which does not quite reach the apox ; 

 next to the vitta and exterior to tho median nerve are three spots in a longitu- 

 dinal scries, tho posterior one sometimes confluent with the lower marginal vitta ; 

 within tho median nerve, towards tho base, is tho usual ocellus faintly defined 

 except at its base ; the black median nerve posteriorly, on the outer side, usually 

 with a fine line, and on the inner side one shorter, broader, curved or sinuate ; 

 on tho inner angle of tho corium three or four small elongate spots more or less 

 distinct (sometimes obliterated) ; all the markings pale ochreous, the three sub- 

 marginal spots palest. Membrane palo ochreous, base black, with an ochreous 

 spot in each of tho two inner cells ; nerves, and a long spot or streak (va^jying in 

 width) in each cell, block ; marginal area palo fuscous, below tho outer cell a 

 Bub-quadraiigidar black spot, the anterior cuneiform space and a posterior spot
