In appearance, Bomewliat like X. distincta, but the pale liead, 

 pronotum, scutellum, and elytra will at once lead to its separation. 



Two males are all the examples I have seen ; and these were taken 

 by Mr. Douglas, at Bournemouth, in September. 



Species 13a. — LiBUEifiA similis, Kirschh. 



Liburnia similis, Kii'schb., Cicadinen, p. 30, 22 (1868). 



Undeveloped form, ? . 



Keels of the head, face, pronotum, and scutellum concolorous. 



Head, pronotum, and scutellum brown, the two latter somewhat reddish-brown. 

 Elytra clear brownish-yellow, covering more than half the abdomen, obtusely 

 rounded posteriorly, nerves finely granulated, marginal nerve slightly pale. 

 Legs yellow ; tarsi — 1st and 2nd pairs fuscous. 



Abdomen dusky fulvous or brownish, posterior margin of the segments paler. 



Length, 1 line. 



This species will come immediately after L. Boldi in our list, as 

 it at present stands. 



I possess two females fiom Scotland, but have no record as to 

 precise locality or date of capture.
