Crown sublunate, a little longer than half its basal width, 
yellowish white, with a black or brown transverse band. Frons 
yellowish white; forehead with two round black spots. Pronotum 
yellowish white, about one-half longer than the crown, narrowly 
black in front, greyish behind. FElytra pale brown, with fine 
yellowish white nerves, the costa widely and the membrane 
hyaline, the latter smoky at the apex. Breast and abdomen black, 
sides of the the latter and the margins of the segments narrowly

Marshall found this species common in Epping 
Forest, frequenting apparently several different kinds 
of trees, but the only recent specimens that I have seen 
were taken by the late George Norman, by beating 
heather on a dry bank at Forres in the spring.
