ADDITIONS TO THE FAUNA OF GREAT BRITAIN, ETC. 143 



Salda orthochila, Fieb. = picia, Curt. Specimens from 

 North Wales, taken by Mr. Wollaston, and from the Isle of 

 Wight by Mr. George Lewis. 



Salda cincta, H.-Sch. In several places. 



Temnostethus pusillus, H.-Sch. In July and August, by 

 sweeping amongst Centaurea nigr^a, &c., at Hurst Wood, 

 Tunbridge Wells, Mickleham and Darenth Wood. Not 

 uncommon. 



Tetraphleps vittatus^ Fieb. Abundant on Pinus syhes- 

 tris. July, August and September, at Dartford, Tunbridge 

 Wells, &c. 



Microphysa elegantulus, Baerensprung, $ and $ . The 

 female of this species seems not to have been known pre- 

 viously. In life it is of a deep red colour, the head and 

 thorax paler. In death the abdomen becomes brown. The 

 head and thorax are much longer than in M. pselaphoiclesj 

 and in all our specimens they are entirely devoid of elytra. 

 In fact, if the creature was deprived of its legs and 

 antennae, it would resemble a longitudinal section of an 

 ordinary porous water-bottle. Both sexes were exceedingly 

 abundant on the trunks of chestnut trees on Blackheath and 

 also in a hedge at Darenth, in June last. 



Corisa atomariay 111. A single specimen taken by Mr. 

 Crotch.
