228 LTemiplera-f[Leteropltera. 
erect hairs, inwardly dusky, the nerves yellow, membrane 
dusky, fully developed in the 6, in the ? very short; 
elytra not so long as the abdomen (I have never seen a 
macropterous ¢); legs clothed with erect dark hairs, 
femora with rows of black spots; abdomen with longi- 
tudinal rows of spots. 
L. 8-9 mm. 
Very abundant, and generally distributed ; occurs in dry 
grassy localities. 
BRYOCORIS, Hull. 
Dimorphous in both sexes, in the fully developed form 
with the head transverse viewed from above, eyes pro- 
minent, face nearly vertical, antennz with the basal joint 
longer than the vertex, rostrum robust, reaching to about 
the middle of the mesosternum ; pronotum very wide and 
much raised behind, narrow and with a distinct collar in 
front, sides straight ; elytra flat, subparallel-sided, cuneus 
very large, membrane with only one basal cell ; apical joint 
of the posterior tarsi, incrassated, arolia very long, 
divaricate. In the undeveloped form the pronotum is less 
widened behind, and the elytra are convex, without 
membrane. ‘The two forms are so dissimilar that I doubt 
if anyone would suspect their identity unless found 
together. There is only one European species. 
B. pteridis, Mc/l—Head and pronotum pitchy brown, 
a line on each side of the former pale; head shining. 
Antenne pale, finely pubescent, apex of the second joint 
and the third and fourth, which are subequal in length, 
pitchy brown; pronotum punctured and transversely 
rugose, dull, base twice as wide as the anterior margin, 
sides straight ; scutellum pitchy brown, raised at the base ; 
elytra pale ochreous, semi-transparent, shining; clavus 
pitchy brown, corium with a dark transverse band just 
above the cuneus; cunens large, with its apical margin
