416 MR. HARDY ON DESCRIPTIONS OF SOME 
XIX.—Deseriptions of some New British Homopterous Insects. 
By James Harpy, sq. 
(Read Thursday, April 4, 1850.] 
In arranging my collection of Homoptera, preparatory to a 
Catalogue for the Tyneside and Berwickshire Naturalists’ Clubs, 
of the species found within their respective districts, I have met 
with several apparently uncharacterized, which, in pursuance 
of the designs of these Institutions, I intend, in this communica- 
tion, to describe. From the localities examined being not very 
remote, many species are common to both; it appears, on this 
account, advisable, to obviate the disadvantages that attend 
scattered descriptions, to group the new species together. The 
species of the branch of the order treated of have been pretty well 
elaborated by Mr. Curtis, in his valuable work on British Ento- 
mology; there, doubtless, however, still remain gleanings to 
reward a diligent investigator. From the beauty, the occasional 
singularity, the limited number of its objects, the ease of conser- 
vation, and the facility of displaying their forms, this division 
offers many claims for a more general attention than it has hitherto 
had accorded to it.

1. T. phaGrata. 
Narrow, cylindric, yellow ; head and thorax yellow, somewhat 
opaque, the former with a pair of very obsolete spots near the apex 
above, face long ; ocelli extremely minute; eyes tawny, with a 
white investing coat; bristle of the antenne short; scutellum tar- 
nished yellow in the centre, margined with fuscous brown, which is 
more diffused at the base ; elytra glossy, of a brighter yellow, fainter 
beneath the costa, the apex inferiorly slightly fuscescent, anarrowish,
