shining. Antennze long and slender, much longer than the 
head and thorax together, basal joint black, or sometimes 
pale, second and third pale testaceous, more or less black 
at the apex, fourth black. Dr. Reuter says that the 
antennz are sometimes entirely black, head and pronotum 
black, the latter sometimes paler posteriorly, shining, its 
sides finely marginate, shghtly rounded behind the apical 
collar and then subsinuate, base rather deeply sinuate ; 
transverse callosity behind the collar smooth and shining, 
transverse impression punctured and wrinkled; scutellum 
black; elytra entirely shining, pale, whitish testaceous, the 
clavus generally rather darker, puncturation very indefinite 
and shallow, a cloud at the apex of the clavus, a spot near 
the apex of the corium, and the cuneus more or less dark, 
the dark colour sometimes only apical; membrane white, 
dusky on the disc, and again at the apex; legs pale 
testaceous, posterior femora sometimes with an apical 
ring. 
L. 4 mm. 
Very common and generally distributed on various trees 
and shrubs, 
TETRAPHLEPS, fied. 
Nearly allied to Anthocoris, but easily distinguished by 
its shorter pronotum, whose much shorter apical constriction 
gives a greater appearance of width in front; the cuneus 
also is wider and much longer, and the surface of the elytra 
is stronely punctured; the canal of the odoriferous sac is 
much narrower, and less open; rostrum short, only reach- 
ing to or just beyond the anterior coxee. We have only 
one British species out of the two recorded as Palearctic. 
T. vittata, Fieb.—Flat, dull brown, head, pronotum 
and scutellum black. Face in front of the eyes very narrow, 
its sides slightly sinuate; antennz finely pilose, black, 
first joint short, not quite reaching the apex of the head, 
second piceous, third and fourth subequal; pronotum
