106 Mr. James Edwards’ Synopsis of 
Typhlocyba tiie, Dougl., Ent. Mo. Mag., xii., 79; 
Kdw., Ent. Mo. Mag. 
Very similar to the preceding, but differs in the following 
particulars: the crown and pronotum are more decidedly yellow, 
and the stripe on them is almost obsolete, the carmine-red atoms 
on the elytra are much more sparingly distributed, and the hind 
tarsi of the male are black, except at the extreme base. Length, 
3 mm. 
I have never taken this species in summer or autumn, 
but have beaten it from ivy and spruce-fir in the spring 
in nearly equal numbers with Z. blandula.

Zygina hyperict, Leth., Cat. Hem. Nord., ed. ii., 75 ; 
Fieb., Cicad. d’Eur. (T'yphlocybini), 70, 4. 
Crown and pronotum whitish yellow, with a dark purple-brown 
middle stripe, which gradually widens from the apex of the crown 
to the hind margin of the pronotum. Scutellum purple-brown. 
Elytra very pale flavo-hyaline, the inner margin as far as the apex 
of the clavus with a broad blood-red stripe. Abdomen above 
black, sides yellow. Legs yellow. Length, 24 mm. 
Very rare. On Hypericum perforatum in woods as late 
as October. This species seems from descriptions to be 
just as variable in markings as the two preceding; pale 
varieties in which the only dark markings indicated are 
those on the pronotum and scutellum are not unfrequent, 
especially inthe male. It is, however, well distinguished 
by its habitat and small size. 
5. Zygina parvula, Boh.

T. 10-punctata, H.-Seff., Deuts. Ins., 124, 5. 
Eupteryx parvulus, Marsh., Ent. Mo. Mag., iii., 220, 8.
