second ; pronotum widened slightly posteriorly, especially 
in the developed form, its sides straight, narrowly cari- 
nated, base nearly straight, disc flat, black and finely punc- 
tured in front, the ochreous basal portion with very large

L. 24 mm. 
Common under heath and generally distributed over the 
South of England, etc. Macropterous form rare; I once 
took several in heaps of dead herbage, etc., at Woking in 
May. Aviemore, Champion. 
MACRODEMA, J'ieb. 
Very like the preceding genus in general form and 
habitat, but more elongate, the eyes much smaller in pro- 
portion to the width of the vertex, and not touching the 
pronotum, the vertex being five times as wide as each eye ; 
pronotum longer and more parallel-sided in the brachy- 
pterous form; abdomen more elongate, the posterior margins 
of the third and fourth dorsal segments widely produced, 
and truncate posteriorly. There is only one Kuropean ex- 
ponent of this genus. It is nearly always found micro- 
pterous, but the macropterous form occurs occasionally. 
M. micropterum, Curi.—Black, clavus and corium 
and a spot on each side of the base of the pronotum, and 
the apex of the scutellum, pale, membrane in the developed 
form dark with three basal spots white. Head and pro- 
notum shining, with a somewhat bronzy tinge, largely and
