The apical nervures of the wings are darkened, forming a fuscous 
cross. The living insect has a pearly or metallic gloss above, and from 
its pale hue, longitudinal yellowish-brown stripes, and narrow shape, 
superficially resembles DelpJiax lineola, being also of the same size. 
The hemelytra have no vestige of the apical membranaceous apendage, 
and herein resemble those of the division Athysanus, Burm. Locally 
abundant among grasses in several localities of the midland district : 
on the railway embankment near Leicester, — on the islands near 
Wakering, Essex (Curtis), — Milford Haven, with the following species- 
Eare near London.

Two sutural black spots, formed by the ends of the clavus, are con- 
spicuous when the wings are closed. The membrane at its interior 
apex presents a slight hyaline extension, as in lassus proper. Numerous 
in thick tufts of grass and among marine plants at the base of the cliffs 
which surround Milford Haven, occurring all the year round.
