312 ME. T. J. BOLD ON XOCAL HOMOPTERA. 



53. I. pulicarius, Fall. Abundant in a pasture field near Seg- 



hill, in August. 



54. /. striata, Fall. Local. Abundant amongst tbe rougb 



berbage, on the margin of tbe lake at Gosforth, in August 

 and September. 



55. /. septem-notatus, Fab. Rare. Four specimens only have 



been taken at Gosfortb, in August. 



56. Aphrodes salulicola, Curt., Brit. Ent., PI. DCXXXIII. 



Exceedingly abundant on tbe sandy "Bents" at Soutb 

 Shields, from June to September. They live at the roots of 

 the sparse herbage, especially affecting the little thickets 

 of Rosa spinosissima, and are exceedingly difficult to cap- 

 ture, being by far the best leapers known to me. Scores 

 may be under the eye at one time, but the unaided hand 

 will fail to take a single specimen. A sweeping net, 

 worked against the breeze, produced good results, as their 

 vaulting propensities assist materially in their capture. 



57. Eupteryx albostriatellus, Fall. By no means rare among 



rough herbage, from July to October. I have taken it at 

 Gibside, Gosforth, and in the dene west of Hartley. 



58. E. citrinellus, Fall. Abundant on the sea-coast amongst 



grass, &c, from July to October. 



59. E. flavipennis, Zett. Taken by sweeping the Equisetum, 



and other plants, growing on the bed of the lake, at Gos- 

 forth, in October. 



60. E. llandulus, Rossi. Rare. Taken near Hartley in Sep- 



tember. 



01. E. geometrieus, Sch. A well-marked species, which has 



occurred sparingly at Gosforth and elsewhere, in July and 

 September. 



02. E. quercus, Lin. Two or three specimens from Gosfortb, 



which were taken in July.
