? . Developed form. Head and pronotum as in the <J , the central line of the 

 head not so distinct. Scutellum without a central line ; apical portion trans- 

 versely wrinkled. Elytra longer than the abdomen. Membrane with two cells, 

 the lesser one very narrow, and almost forming an isosceles triangle. All the 

 other characters as in the $ . 



? . Undeveloped form. Head, pronotum, and scutellum without the black central 

 line ; posterior margin of the callosities blackish. Elytra shorter than the 

 abdomen. Cuneus not distinct from the corium. All the other characters as 

 in the developed form. Length S 2— 2i; ? 2i — 3 lines. 



Most nearly allied to T. antennatus, Boh. (Fieb. Europ. Hem. 

 246, 1), but the absence of the streak along the margin of the abdomen, 

 and the blood-red hinder tibiaB, will at once enable any one to separate 

 them. 



We have much pleasure in naming the species after Mr. Edward 

 Saunders, its captor, who took a few examples at Deal, by sweeping 

 among rushes, &c., at the end of June and beginning of July. He has 

 also an undeveloped $ , taken near Aberdeen. 



Genus 3. — Lopomoephtjs. 



We now believe that the insect described in the British Hemip- 

 tera," page 224, 1, as Lopomorphus carinatus, is only a small and curious 

 variety of L. ferrugatus, to which the description must also apply. 



Eamilt 4. — Phttocoeid^. 

 Genus 2. — Phttocoeis, Pall, 

 Species 2a. — Phttocoeis maemoeatus, n. sp. 



Pale green, with large irregular black patches, sometimes almost 

 covering the entire elytra ; at others, having somewhat of a banded 

 appearance ; clothed with depressed white hairs, slightly curled, and 

 disposed in a confused manner, and interspersed with sub-erect black 

 ones. 



Read — pale yellowish or greenish- white at the posterior margin, and adjoining each 

 eye a small piceous or blackish spot. Antennce black, as long as the body j 

 1st joint a little more than half the length of the second, with one or two 

 small, somewhat round white spots towards the base, and two or three oblong 

 ones towards the apex on the upper side, and a few long, erect, black hairs ; 

 apex slightly piceous, 2nd with a narrow white ring at the base, and another, 

 whitish or brownish- white, of about the same size beyond the middle ; 3rd 

 about two-thirds the length of the second, base narrowly white ; 4th shorter 

 than the 1st j below the eyes and beyond the aide-lobes of the face a black 

 streak. Rostrum pale-yellowish or greenishowhite, apex piceous.
