198 Flemiptera-lleteroptera. 
combe; Darenth, Mickleham, Aviemore, Champion ; Col- 
wyn Bay, Beaumont. No doubt common and generally 
distributed, but mixed in collections with the following. 
A. nemoralis, fab:.—Very like confusus, but broader, 
more brightly coloured, and much more variable in colour, 
the pronotum posteriorly often pale, the clavus partly pale 
and partly dark, the base of the corium generally widely 
pale and the apex dark, the pale colour paler than in 
confusus, the dark darker. There is also a fine grey or 
hoary pubescence on the corium, visible in certain lghts, 
which seems peculiar to this species; the cuneus and 
embolium are entirely shining, pitchy, and strongly punc- 
tured, and Dr. Reuter says that the inner veins of the 
membrane are more distinct. 
L. 4 mm. 
Very common and generally distributed on various trees 
and shrubs. 
A. gallarum ulmi, De Geer.—A species very closely 
allied to the two preceding, but easily distinguished 
when once recognized; as a rule it is larger and broader ; 
the elytra have the clayus and corium almost of one 
colour, paler and slightly brighter than in confusus, 
becoming darker towards the apex, the entire em- 
bolium and cuneus are shining, but less bright and less 
strongly punctured than in nemoralis; the apex of the 
corium also, instead of being quite dull as in both the pre- 
ceding, is somewhat shining; the antenne are sometimes 
entirely black, but in the typical form have the second 
joint pale m the centre; legs testaceous. 
L. 44 mm. 
I have one specimen from near Gomshall, and another 
from Chobham, which clearly belong to this species; and I 
have three others, one from Woking, and two from Bake- 
well, Derbyshire, which appear to me to be only varieties 
of it; they are, however, smaller and more brightly 
coloured ; the antennz in three of these are entirely black,
