10 [June, 
Apparently an unusual species in this country, but once taken by 
me in abundance on water plants growing in a shallow pond by the side 
of the road from Eamsgate to Sandwich, in September. 
15. — lassus (A.) stylatus, Boh. 
Pallide fusco-testaceus. Vertex angulatus, productus, sua inter 
oculos latitudine quarta parte brevior, longior pronoto, apice supra 
nigro trimaculatus, macula media maxima ; inter oculos etiam striolae 4 
breves, sinuatae, transversim 2 et 2 dispositse, nigrse ; vertex apice 
albidus. Prons late transversim nigro-trifasciata. Pronotum postice 
ssepe nigro lituratiim. Scutellum vel basi media nigrum, vel concolor. 
Hemelytra abdominis tertiam tantum partem obtegentia, fusco-testacea, 
immaculata ; alae abortivae. Pedes plus minus fusco-maculati et 
lineati. ^ . Long. 1^ lin. 
Athysanus stylatus, Boh., Handl. 1847, p. 31. — Plor, R. L., 2, 
p. 276. — Kirschbaum, Athysanus — Arten, p. 14, 18. 
This species has the facies of a Deltocephalus, with its elongate 
vertex, flattened above, and short body, of which at least two-thirds ar.e 
uncovered by the hemelytra. It differs widely from the preceding, 
which has the vertex even more broadly rounded than that of the 
following sub-genus, and seems very ill-placed in the section Athy- 
sanus. A. stylatus may be found, but very seldom, on the dry parts of 
Wimbledon Common, in August. 
Subg. III. — Tassus, Pab.

angustius. (Minimus, corp. long. 1 lin. 
Alfe apice infuscatae.) .punctatus, Fall . . . (33) .
