6. TyPHLOCTBA ArEOYITTATA. 



Anomia an rot- it tat a (Fieb.), sec. Letliierry, in lift. 



Slender, cliugj yellowish-wliite and golden. Crown yellow, obtusely produced. 

 Pronotum quite one-half longer than the head, rounded in front, posterior mar- 

 gin sub-truncate, disc pale in the middle, on each side of which is a longitudinal, 

 broad, yellow vitta, sides pale. Scutellum yellow. Elytra narrow, broadly 

 dingy yellowish-white on the costa and claral suture, almost as far as the mem- 

 brane, on the middle of the cerium a golden-yellow vitta, widening as it 

 proceeds, extends from the base almost to the membrane ; clavns golden-yellow ; 

 memhrane fuscous, the colour extending backwards a little beyond the base of 

 the cells on to the corium as blotches, the largest of which is next and extends 

 on to the apex of the clavus ; nerves pale yellow. Wings transparent, the two 

 upper nerves slightly fuscescent. Legs pale yellow, claws of the tarsi black. 



Under-side and abdomen black, the segments of the latter with whitish margins. 



Length, fully 1^ line. 



Somewhat like T. tenerrima, but distingiiisbed by tlie shorter and 

 less-rounded head, by the two vittae on the pronotum, by the yellow 

 colour — notably of the vitla> of the elytra- — being of a deeper hue, 

 and by the fuscous membrane with pale nerves. 



An example of this species has been identified by M. Lethicrry 

 as Anomia ■aitroriliata (Fieb.). It does not appear to have been 

 described. 



I beat three or four examples, on 4th November, 1S6G, from 

 hedges composed of maple, hawthorn, hazel, &c., in a lane near 

 Eltham, Kent. 



9. TrruLOCYBA geatiosa. 



TifpMocyha (jrntiosa, Boh., A^et. Ak. Handl., 121, (1853); J. Sahib., 

 Not. Fenn., xii, 171), 8 (1871). Typld. sutiiralis, Flor, Ehyn. Liv., 

 ii, 634, (18G1); Kirschb., Cicad., 186, 22 (1868). 



Pale ochreous. Crown obtusely produced in front. Pronotum twice as broad as 

 long, nearly twice the length of the crown, the base slightly emarginate. 

 Elytra — clavns fuscous-brown, sometimes pale, infuscated ; corium whitish- 

 ochreous, hyaline, with yellowish nciTcs, apical cells wholly infuscated, with two 

 or three more or less long, fuscous dashes extending backwards on to the corium. 

 Wings hyaline, nerves yellowish. Legs pale yellow, claws of the tarsi fuscous.
