Capside. a78 
the antenne red, second often dark at the base and apex, 
third and fourth dark or pale, abdomen green ;_ struc- 
turally distinct from errans by the much narrower base of 
the pronotum, which is hardly twice as long as the anterior 
margin. This gives it a distinctly longer and narrower 
look; the third and fourth joints of the antenne are also 
shorter in proportion to the second. 
L. 5 mm. 
Common and probably generally distributed, on 
Bpilobium ; it looks quite green in the net. 
D. constrictus, Boh.— $ macropterous, ? dimorphous ; 
may be distinguished from epilobit by its shorter form, the 
wider pronotum posteriorly, the transverse sulcature of 
which is placed behind the middle ; also by the larger, more 
prominent eyes, the thinner and longer third and fourth 
joints of the antenne, which together are distinctly longer 
than the second, and by the pale, not red, basal joint. 
From errans the paler colour, the more posteriorly con- 
stricted pronotum, and the almost entirely pale cuneus 
will distinguish it. The brachypterous form of the 
closely resembles stachydis, but the long antennee and legs 
of this species at once separate it. 
L. 4 mm. 
Rare; on Symphytwn and Rubus ideus according to 
Reuter; has occurred in this country at Perth on Sym- 
phytum, Reuter ; at Well in Lincolnshire, J. H. Mason, 
and at Shiere, Surrey, #. A. Butler. 
D. errans, Wolj.—One of our darker species, head, 
antennx, and pronotum mostly black or brown, the latter 
sometimes paler. Head witha pale streak on each side, and 
sometimes one in the centre ; antenne about as long as the 
abdomen, third and fourth joints together about equal to 
the second, basal joint in the ¢ subequal to the apical joint, 
shorter than it in the 9 ; base and apex of first joint, some- 
times the centre of the second, and the base of the third, 
pale ; pronotum very wide posteriorly, base more than
