British Hemiptera-Heteroptera. 265 
4, tiie, Fab. Fig. Dougl. & Scott, Brit. Hem. pl. x. fig. 8. 
Var. = marmoratus, Dougl. & Scott. 
Pale green or yellow, more or less mottled, and marked 
with black and brown; sides of the thorax and base some- 
times widely black. Thighs mottled; tibize barred with 
black. 
Length 34 lines. 
On oaks, &c. 
A very pretty and variable species, the elytra some- 
times (in var. marmoratus) being nearly black speckled 
with yellow, and with a larger yellow spot on the lateral 
margin, besides the cuneus and the spot on the corium 
adjoining it. At other times the elytra are green, with 
only occasional darker markings. Between these extreme 
varieties all sorts of intermediate colourings may be found. 
The bright clear markings distinguish this species from 
all its allies. 
5. Reuterti, Saund. 
= crassipes? Dougl. & Scott, nee Flor. 
Grey-brown, indistinctly mottled with lighter brown ; 
corium inwardly darker ; legs barred much as in popult, 
from which it is easily distinguished by its shorter, smaller 
form and less marbled elytra. 
Length 33 lines. 
On apple trees, &c. 
6. pint, Kirsch. 
Colour and marbling almost exactly like the preceding, 
but at once distinguishable by the short first joint of the 
antennz and the much shorter posterior tibize. 
Length 34 lines. 
On firs; Scotland.

Brownish-red or ochreous-brown ; elytra with irregular 
longitudinal darker markings ; lateral margins narrowly 
mottled. Cuneus marbled with purplish-red ; membrane 
marbled with grey. Femora brown, with lighter mark- 
ings; front tibiz with two rings, and the apex, brown ;

sometimes scarcely visible ; posterior tibiz with the base 
widely brown. Antenne: first joint marbled, and with long
