Mr. Edwards says it is not uncommon amongst the 

 long herbage of the marshes in East Norfolk, and at 

 Ban worth, &c. " In the structure of the male geni- 

 talia it is a true Limotettix ; though the crown is some- 

 what Deltocephaloid." Sahlberg accordingly describes 

 it under the genus Deltocephalus, stating that in North 

 Europe it nestles under different kinds of Garcx, in 

 September. Examples of this and many other species 

 may be found preserved in the Museum of the 

 University of Helsingfors.
