This concludes the notice of the more aberrant genera of Lepto- 

 ceridce. Of these, Molonna seems to me to be the one which comes 

 nearest the typical Section, in spite of many characters peculiar to 

 itself. 



I hope soon to take up the remaining genera, which are all more 

 or less closely allied, and included in the same Section.

TABLE OF THE BRITISH SPECIES OF ANTIIOCORIS, FALL., WITH 

 A NOTICE OF AN ADDITIONAL SPECIES. 



BY JAMES EDWARDS, F.E.S. 



ANTHOCORIS, Fall. 



1 (2) Elytra entirely shining .. . ,1. n emo rum, Jjmn. 



2 (1) Elytra in part dull. 



3 (6) Cuneus entirely shining. 



4 (5) Clavus and basal third of corium dull, remainder of elytron shining. An- 



tennae entirely black 2. sarothaninijli). &S. 



5 (4) Corium entirely dull 3. netnoralis, F&b. 



6 (3) Inner third of cuneus dull, the remainder shining, the limits of each state 



well defined. 



7 (8) Head and pronotum black 4. co n/'a*Ms, Eeut. 



8 (7) Head and pronotum fulvo-testaceous 5. visci, Dougl. 



The above table is intended to illustrate Mr. Saunders' recently 

 published List of British Hemij^tera. Nos. 1, 2 and 3 are our well- 

 known species of those names, and Mr. Douglas has described No. 5 

 in detail at page 427 of vol. xxv of this Magazine ; the main dis- 

 tinctive characters of No. 4 are set forth below. 



Anthocoris cokfusus, Eeut. 

 Renter, Mon. A nth. orbis terrestris, 71. 

 Antennee blackish, second joint more or less widely yellow in the middle. Head, 

 pronotum and scutellum black. Clavus, corium and embolium yellow-brown, the 

 two former generally more or less suffused with pitch-brown ; cuneus pitch-brown ; 

 membrane fuscous, with the basal half of the nerves and three large spots (one at 

 the base, one at the outer basal angle, and one at the inner apical angle) white. 

 Legs yellow-brown, thighs generally darker, tarsi black at the apex. 



Length, SJ — 4| mm. 



This species may be distinguished from A. nemoraUs, Fab., apart 

 from the structural character of the cuneus, by the more uniform 

 brown colour of the elytra. It is probably widely distributed and 

 common, but overlooked.
