88 BRITISH CICAD^E. 



parallel, and narrowly rounded at the tips. General 

 colour bronzy green or brown. Costa with a widening 

 stripe of white, succeeded by a triangular spot of the 

 same tint, and again by another white spot at the 

 suture, giving on each elytron the form of a note of 

 exclamation. Under-side of the head, the legs, and 

 the sides of the pronotum, yellow. Some insects are 

 almost entirely black. 



Of all the British species this is the smallest. It is 

 not very common at Haslemere. 



Size 3*5 to 4-0 millimetres, or 0"13 to 0*15 inch. 



Phil^nus campestris, Fall. Plate XXIIL, fig. 4. 



Cercopis campestris, Fall. 



Ftijelus campestris, Flor ; Kirschb. ; Scott. 



Philcenus campestris, Sahl. ; Edw. pt. i. 99. 



Colour, fawn or yellowish brown. " Breadth across 

 the posterior margin almost four times wider than the 

 centre." Costa white at the base, with two angular 

 spots behind. Puncturing and pubescence as in the 

 last species. The vertex and the scutellum sometimes 

 have a brown middle stripe. 



Size, 4*0 to 5*0 millimetres, or 0*15 to 0'19 inch. 



Least common of all the species. Scott says the 

 length of the crown alone is sufficient to separate 

 P. lincatus from P. spumariiis, and from P. campestris.
