64 BRITISH CICADJE. 



Elytra short. Pygofer rounded, with a black anal 

 style. Legs uniformly yellow. 



This handsome species was taken in some quantity 

 by Mr. Edwards, on rushes at Weybourne, Norfolk, in 

 August. I think that he first recorded it as British. 

 It also inhabits Germany and Mid-France. 



Size, 3-0 millimetreSj or 0-12 inch.
