G3G jNlr. E. Saunders' S^vopsis of 



widely ochroous, the colonr spreading at the apex and just 

 above the middle, alonr;^ the nerve of the corium; close to 

 the apex, where the pale colour spreads inwai-ds, is a small, 

 round, clear, Avhitish s])ot, and on the disk are often a few 

 irregular, glaucous or milky s])ots. IMembrane very small, 

 ochreous, the nerves dark. Legs testaceous. Antennai 

 black, a]iex of basal joint and sometimes a spot on the 

 apical joint yellow. 



Length U — If line. 



Rare ; banks of the Thames, near Hammersmith, &c.

 = elegantula, Dougl. & Scott. 



So like the preceding that it is imnecessary to do more 

 than point out its distinguishing characters. The an- 

 tennae are considerably dilated at the apex, and the second 

 joint is yellow, except at its extreme base. These cha- 

 racters are so pronounced that the species may be at once 

 separated fi'om clegantula.

This is evidently not Costa's geminata, a very distinct 

 species of which I have several fi-om Dr. Ferrari of Italy, 

 and which has been also named venustula by Mr. Scott, 

 from a var. with the apical joint of the antenntis spotted. 



17. cincta, H.-SchfF. (PI. XII. fig. 9.) 



Somewhat like the two preceding species, but very 

 different on examination. The surface has not the erect 

 black hairs of the others, and the thorax is less rapidly 

 constricted in fi-ont ; the elytra arc more elongate and the 

 sides less rounded; the membrane much larger, &c. 

 (These latter characters, however, probably depend on 

 development. Cincta ai)})ears ahvays to be foiuid fully 

 developed, whereas elegantula and Cocksii are almost 

 always not so. I have a single specimen of Cocksii from 

 South Europe, with the full membrane, and in this case 

 the shape of the elytra is very similar to that of cincta.) 

 The pale colour at the margin of the corium is much 

 narrower, and does not spread either in the middle or at 

 the apex. The antenna3 are much thinner and black, the 

 apex of the 1 st joint only pale.
