DICYPHUS, Feb. 
(Idolocoris, D. 5S.) 
Easily distinguished as a genus by the elongate shape, 
pale colour, and almost transparent elytra, which are clothed 
with semi-erect black or brown hairs ; the legs also are long 
and slender, and the femora spotted with black or brown. 
The female is often and the male sometimes dimorphous. 
Hyes situated at some distance from the pronotum, head 
narrowed behind them, antennz very variable in length ; 
pronotum with a rather long collar and a well-marked 
transverse discal constriction, base largely and deeply 
sinuate ; elytra in the macropterous form elongate, parallel- 
sided ; femora spotted, tibia: with fine spines. There are 
thirteen species described by Reuter, of which we have 
seven. ‘This is one of our most difficult genera, the species 
being very closely allied and similar in general facies.
