twice as wide as the anterior margin ; discal impression, if 
anything, in front of the middle;-scutellum dark, with 
the sides pale; elytra pale ochreous, clothed with thick 
black hairs, clavus often nearly black, two spots at the 
apex of the corium, and the apex of the cuneus red or 
black, and sometimes the nerves of the corium black also, 
membrane hyaline, nervures dark; femora pubescent, 
spotted with black, tibize with fine spines ; beneath varying 
from black to ochreous.

Generally distributed on Stachys, etc. 
As mentioned by Dr. Reuter (Hem. Gymn. Eur, p. 417), 
I have a few specimens from Penzance differing in the 
longer antenne, and also in having the pronotum narrower 
at the base ; but I think I shall do well to follow his 
example and wait for more specimens before describing 
this form as new. At Ilfracombe in September, 1890, 
I took two brachypterous females of this species, amongst 
many of the ordinary form. I do not think this form 
has been recorded before. 
D. stachydis, feut—Distinguished from any of the 
preceding by the shorter form and by the shorter antennze 
and legs, and from errais and constrictus by the narrower 
base of the pronotum, which is scarcely twice as wide as 
the anterior margin; the antennz have the basal joint red 
at the apex, the second dark at the base and apex, the third 
and fourth dusky, the former pale at the base, together con- 
siderably longer than the second, fourth about two-thirds as 
long as the third ; sides of the head behind the eyes black, 
vertex with two black lines, apex of the cuneus and nervures 
of membrane cells red ; posterior tibize only about 24 mm. 
in length, in constrictus they are nearly 3; both ¢ and ? 
occur brachypterous.
