apex of the cuneus, third and fourth joints much thinner 
than the second, which is slightly thickened towards 
the apex; pronotum trapezoidal, very slightly convex ; 
posterior femora thickened, tibiz elongate, with rather 
long spines, second jomt of posterior tarsi much longer 
than the first. We have two species in Britain, of the 
thirteen described by Reuter as Paleearctic.

L. saltator, MWain.—Black, tibiz of the first and second 
pairs of legs and sometimes of the third paler, surface 
densely clothed with black erect hairs and golden scale- 
like deciduous pubescence; second joimt of the antennz 
not quite so long as the third and fourth together, narrower 
at the base than the first, but about as thick as that joint 
at the apex ; pronotum in the ¢ with the anterior margin 
about half as long as the base, in the Q about two-thirds 
as long; elytra very long and parallel-sided in the male, 
sides slightly curved in the developed ?, membrane black ; 
in the undeveloped 2 each elytron is rounded posteriorly, 
reaching nearly to the sixth segment; tibize with fine long 
spines. 
L. 54 mm. (macr.), 5 mm. (brach.). 
Not rare; on T'rifolium, Ononis, ete.; generally dis- 
tributed. 
L. mutabilis, /al/.—Male known at once from the pre- 
ceding by its shorter form, shorter pronotum, less widened 
behind, the base not being more than once and a half as 
long as the anterior margin, the ochreous inner half of the 
corium, and paler membrane clouded with brown. ‘The ma- 
cropterous form of the ? is unknown, and the brachypterous 
form is difficult to distinguish from that of saltator ; it is, 
however, rather larger and more robust, the pronotum is
