Mr. Marshall found this insect common in bushes in 

 Epping Forest ; but, with the exception of this and 

 Mr. G. Norman's record, who beat the insects out of 

 heather at Forres, its capture has rarely been noted. 



The specimen figured, and lent to me by Mr. 

 Douglas, shows a considerable resemblance to some
