Species 6.—Crxivs sTIGMATICUS. 
Flata stigmatica, Germ., Mag., iii, 199, 8 (1818) ; Thon Archiv., il, 
49, 30 (1829). 
Cizxia stigmatica, Burm., Handb., ii, 157, 5 (1835). 
Cizius musivus, Marshall, Ent. Mo. Mag., i, 155, 3 (1864). 
Cixius stigmaticus, Kirschb., Cicad., 47, 4 (1868). 
Elytra without bands, and the marginal nerve without united granules; dark grey 
or brownish-grey, with several irregularly disposed, and more or less confluent, 
darker spots. 
Head: crown, face, and clypeus black, keels clear brownish-yellow. 
Thorax: pronotum ferrugineous, sometimes piceous between the keels. Scutellum 
black, keels somewhat prominent, side margins, at the base, brown. Elytra: 
nerves somewhat whitish, granules thickly disposed, generally along the top of 
the nerves, but sometimes slightly inclined, in pairs, from left to right towards 
the apex; cuneate patch brown, more or less distinct, transverse nerves black. 
Wings pale grey, darker towards and at the apex, nerves dark brown or black. 
Legs yellow ; thighs, 1st and 2nd pairs black, 3rd more or less dark piceous, 
apex narrowly yellow; tibiw, lst and 2nd pairs with a narrow blackish ring 
near the base; tarsi, 3rd joint of the 1st and 2nd pairs black, 3rd pair, 3rd 
joint, brown. 
Abdomen black, side margins narrowly bright orange-red; genital segment black, 
“claspers,” &c., fuscous-yellow. Length, 23—23 lines. 
Somewhat larger than contaminatus, with larger granules, and 
without the three short streaks along the anterior margin, so character- 
istic of that species. 
Apparently not common, although widely distributed. I have 
seen specimens from Inverness-shire (Dr. White) and from Deal (Mr. 
Douglas), the latter taken amongst Hippophade rhamnoides. It occurs 
in June and July.

Antenne yellowish.
