the hinder ones ; colour black. Clypens and rostrum 

 black. Plate XVIII., fig. 3. 



The Brachypterous female is longer and thinner 

 than the male, with brown eyes. The rest of the 

 insect is dirty yellow. Apex of the abdomen pointed. 



I have not met with the Macropterous male ; but 

 Fieber describes it as having, in both sexes, elytra long 

 and livid-white, bordered with yellow, and arched with 

 brown up to the inferior part of the commissure. 



The form of the vertex in my figure is less pointed 

 than that given in Fieber' s outline. The contour of 

 the pygofer is a long lozenge, but seen from above it is 

 quadrangular. 



Taken on wet herbage. Habitats : Sweden, Germany, 

 France, and England. Found in Norfolk, Haslemere, 

 Sheire near Guildford, and other places. 



Size, with elytra, 2*00 to 3*75 millimetres, or 0-09 

 to 0-14 inch. 



This insect shows some resemblance to L. exigua, 

 but the legs of the latter are yellow, and the pronotal 

 keels are more pronounced.
