Capside. 291 
Common, generally distributed where Broom occurs. 
0. concolor, A/.—Smaller, paler, and of a rather bluer 
green in colour than either of the preceding, though more 
like adenocurpi in this respect; third and fourth joints of 
the antenne together slightly longer than the second, 
third about four-fifths as long as the second, fourth about 
a quarter as long as the third; rostrum slender, reaching to 
the intermediate cox; elytra with shining white hairs, 
which are easily rubbed off, and with longer fine black ones 
intermixed ; membrane much paler than in chloropterus, 
its nervures yellowish. 
L. 4-44 mm. 
On Broom, Woking ; Forres and Perth, Reuter ; Norfolk, 
Edwards ; March, Cambs., Billups. 
I have often had this and the two preceding species 
in my umbrella at once, and by tke colour alone one could 
separate them, Chloropterus is the dark green one, adeno- 
carpt the yellowish-green one, and concolor the whitish or 
bluish-green one; but immature examples are puzzling. 
O. flavosparsus, Suhlb. (prasinus, D. § S.).—Bright 
green, clothed with black hairs, interspersed on the elytra 
with small paler spots and patches of bright silvery scale- 
like hairs, cells of the membrane green. Antennw very 
long and slender, second and third joints subequal ; prono- 
tum very transverse, sides nearly straight ; elytra parallel- 
sided in the J, its sides slightly rounded in the 9; legs 
slightly paler.
