220 Flemipltera-Heteroptera. 
legs clothed with very fine short bristly hairs, tarsi with 
the first and third joints subequal in length. 
The species of this genus, of which only one is at pre- 
sent recorded from Britain, closely resemble each other. 
The two ordinary Huropean species, carinatus and Gim- 
merthalii, at first sight look almost identical, but in 
carinatus the pale central line of the pronotum is strongly 
cariniform, whereas in our species (Gimmerthali/) it is quite 
flat. It is not, I think, improbable that carinatus may yet 
be found with us.
