64 Flemiptera-Heteroptera. 
B. clavipes, /a).—A longer and narrower species than 
minor, with a very long sharply-pointed frontal process ; 
the antennee also are very slender, and the basal joint 
longer than the anterior femora, whereas in minor it 1s 
distinctly shorter; the club is also smaller, and only 
shghtly darkened, not black; the elytra in the brachy- 
pterous form do not quite reach to the apex of the abdomen 
in the 9, which is quite five times as long as the width 
of the elytra ; legs very long, the femora gradually clavate 
at the apex, concolorous, or nearly so, throughout; the 
apical joint of the tarsi black. 
L. 7-8 mm. 
Rare. I have never taken it myself, and have never seen 
the developed form. Whitstable, Champion ; Freshwater 
Bay, Pembrokeshire, Niton, Isle of Wight, Marshall ; 
Reigate, Blatch ; Norfolk, Curtis. 
B. Signoreti, Pich. (pygmeus, Leut. (brach.)—Much 
smaller and broader than clavipes, to which it is allied by 
the pale clubs of the antenne and femora; it is also 
smaller than minor, from which its pale antennal clubs will 
readily separate it; the femora are thicker throughout in 
this species than in the others of the genus, and the club 
at the apex less marked; in the brachypterous form the 
membrane is about as wide as the elytra; in the macro- 
pterous it is distinctly wider ; in the male the membrane 
has a dark central cloud. 
L. 5-6 mm. 
Not rare. Reigate; Hastings, Fairlight, Hurst Green, 
Ewhurst, Butler ; Mickleham, Billups ; Cobham, Caterham, 
Champion; Moray and Perthshire, Norman; Aberdeen, 
Reuter; Lincolnshire, Mason; Riddlesdown, Blutch ; 
Mousehold Heath, Norfolk, Hdwards. 
B. montivagus, ieb.—A larger species than Signoreti, 
and easily known from it by its slenderer and more dis- 
tinctly clavate femora, and also by its blunt frontal process ; 
the membrane is very wide, and marked with dark brown,
