British Homoptera-Cicadina. 105 
Zygina alneti, Leth., Cat. Hem. Nord., ed. ii., 75; 
Fieb., Cicad. d’Eur. (Typhlocybint), 68, 1. 
Fore parts and legs pale yellow. Elytra bright yellow. Claws 
fuscous. Length, 33 mm. 
On alders; not uncommon. Specimens from hazel 
_ have the fore parts yellowish white and the elytra very 
pale flavo-hyaline. These may possibly prove specifically 
distinct from the insect which lives on alders, but having 
no males of the hazel insect at hand I am unable to 
compare the genitalia.

Fieb., Cicad. d’Hur. (Typhlocybini), 78, 11; 
Ferrari, Cicad. agri Ligust., 86. 
Crown and pronotum whitish yellow, with a fuscous or carmine- 
red middle stripe, which gradually widens from the apex of the 
crown to the base of the pronotum, and is generally divided 
down the middle by a pale line. Elytra whitish hyaline, with 
a fuscous zigzag stripe more or less covered with carmine-red 
atoms, on the inner margin; second and fourth apical areas 
generally fumose. Abdomen pale yellow. Legs whitish; the 
entire third joint of the hind tarsi and the apex of the second black 
in the male. Length, 23—3 mm. 
In mixed hedges, and on various low plants; very 
common in autumn. Occasionally the carmine-red 
atoms extend to the nerves of the corium, but they are 
sometimes almost entirely absent.
