Pale ochreous or straw-coloured, with long scattered 
hairs; head with a more or less interrupted brown stripe 
on each side, between the eyes. Thorax more or less 
spotted with brown in front. Elytra clothed with long 
brownish hairs; apex of cuneus darker; legs straw-coloured ; 
hind thighs with very indistinct spots. Antenne pale; 
first joint slightly darker ; apical joint longer in proportion 
to the third than in the following species. 
Length 2 lines. 
On foxgloves, &c., by sweeping. The undeveloped form, 
which is the common one, has no membrane or cuneus, 
and is rather smaller. 
4, pallidus, H.-Seff. Fig. H.-Seff. Wanz. Ins. iii. 
fig. 269. 
Elongate, very pale ochreous, first joint of the antennz 
red; second at the apex, and the third and fourth, brown-

of the membrane, brown. Thighs with very small black 
or brown spots, beneath pale. 
Length 2? lines. 
By sweeping in damp places; not rare. 
Very like the following, but differs in the thicker 
antennee, and the paler colour especially of the underside ; 
otherwise it might well pass as a variety.
