73 [ September, 



Pale jellowish-wliito, with a roseate flush. Head, pronotnm and xcutellum -with 

 two continuous reddish vittae extending through them, diverging as they proceed. 

 Head short, sub-hmate. Pronotum twice as long as the head, posterior margin 

 slightly emarginatc. JSIi/tra : apex broadly rounded ; upper and lower margins, 

 including the clavus, slightly infuscated, with a more or less rosy tinge ; in the 

 michlle a transparent vitta extends from the base to the apex ; the longitudinal 

 nerves of the corium on the apical half, and the base of the apical cells rosy, 

 otherwise the nerves are pale. Wings opaUne. Legx pale yellow, apex of the 

 tihicB and joints of the tarsi infuscated. Length, \\ line. 



The species, according to descriptions, varies in colour ; in the ^ 

 the corium being sometimes wholly, and the clavus broadly, testaceous ; 

 in the $ the corium has usually a' narrow roseate vitta on the inner 

 side, but sometimes it is immaculate. 



Typhlocyha roseijjennis, Tollin, is possibly this species, but the 

 neuration of the elytra and wings not being given, certainty cannot 

 be insured. 



I have one example, ? , taken from a fir tree (Pinus syJvestrls), at 

 West Wickham Wood, April 19th, 1867; doubtless a hibernated 

 individual.

Postscript. — Eiopteryx notahis. Curt. (No. 2 ante), Ti/pldocyha 

 WaUengreni, Stal. I have seen a few examples taken by Mr. B. Cooke 

 " on Holyhead Island, 11th October last, jumping about among gorse, 

 heath, grass, &c., a few hundred yards from the sea-side." 



Eupteryx ahrotani (No. 3 ante), previously found on Artemisia 

 ahrotanum, has recently been taken by Mr. Scott, in Hampshire on Artem- 

 isia maritima ; and the occurrence of the species on two species of 

 Artemisia having revived my original suspicion that it might be Typh- 

 locyha artemisice, Kbm. (Cicad. 190, 31), I have again turned to the de- 

 scription ; but the words " die Decken mit zerstreuten schr erloschenen 

 " schwarzlicher Pwwc^eji besprengt," still do not appear to be appli- 

 cable to our species, in which the dark markings of the elytra arc in the 

 form of distinct dashes. Typhi, aihpcrsa, H.-Schf. (P. Gr., \Q\, 12), 

 which, according to the description and figure, has small fuscous dots on 

 the elytra" — punctis parvis rotundis f uscis — ," and, according to Kirsch- 

 baum, resembles T. artemisice, appears to me to be still less like E. 

 ahrotani ; therefore, at present, I must hold the latter to be distinct. 

 It is unknown to Dr. J. Sahlberg and M. Lcthierry.

Since writing the foregoing, I have seen, in the collection of 

 Dr. J. A. Power, four examples, all ^J , oi a Typhlocyha, taken at Esher,
