SUMMARY OF HEMIPTERA, 1874 — 1876. 13 



within the last few months that the first approach to a full 

 list of the British Homoptera has been published, I have not 

 considered it advisable to include them in this enumeration. 



Sehirus picipes, Fall. (E. Saunders, E. M. M. xii. 154). 

 — Taken by Dr. Power at Esher and Wejbridge ; by 

 Mr. Wollaston in Lincolnshire, &c. 



Orthostira macroplithalma, Fieb, (Messrs. Douglas and 

 Scott, Id. xi. 173). — Taken under moss on Cheviot, by 

 Mr. J. Hardy. 



O. nigrina, Fall. — Doubtfully distinct from the preceding 

 (see E. Saunders' 'Synopsis'). I have taken it in Braemar; 

 and Mr. Champion has also met with it in Scotland. 



Scoloposteilius ericetoriim, Leth. (Messrs. Douglas and 

 Scott, Id. xi. 264). — A common species, but formerly con- 

 confounded with the closely-allied S. affinis, Schill. 



Rhyparochromus salmlicola, Thorns. (J. W. Douglas, Id. 

 xi. 266).— Sandhills at Deal. 



Peritrechus nubilus, Fall. (J. W. Douglas, Id. xi. 267). — 

 Local. The P. nubilus of "British Hemiptera" is P. punc- 

 iiceps, Thorns., and is the common British species, but 

 perhaps merely a Yariety. 



Cymus melanocephalus, Fieb. (E. Saunders, Id. xi. 62). — 

 Chobham, Reigate, and probably elsewhere. 



Trapezonotus dispar, Stal. (J. W. Douglas, Id, xii. 222). — 

 Darenth. 



Acompocoris alpinus, Rent. (E. Saunders, Id. xii. 249). — 

 Taken at Norwich by Mr. T. P. Dossetor; and Mr. Douglas 

 and I found it at Dunkeld last August. 



Lopus sulcatus, Fieb. (E. Saunders, Id. xii. 186). — Ports- 

 mouth, &c. 



Macrocoleus tanaceti, Fall. (E. Saunders, Id. xii. 131). — 

 On tansy at Chobham. 



Pilophorns clavatiis, L. (Messrs. Douglas and Scott, Id. 

 xii. 100). — On sallow in August, at Lee, &c. 



P. perplexus, D. and S. — A new species described by 

 Messrs. Douglas and Scott (Id. xii. 101), and found by 

 them on bushes, near nests of Formica rufa, in July and 

 August Mr. Saunders (' Synopsis,' p. 287) thinks this is 

 P. bifasciatus, F. 



Phytocoris pint, Kirschb. (F. Buchanan White, Scot. Nat. 

 ii. 63; Messrs. Douglas and Scott, E. M. M. xi. 144). — First
