In the Author s and other Cabinets.

The sexes of Coccus are so dissimilar, that nothing but rear- ing them from the parent would convince any one of their identity. The male is small but winged, sometimes liaving ten eyes : it is deprived of a proboscis, but is capable of loco- motion: the female is often ten times as large, immovable, formed like a scale or fleshy, and clothed with cotton, having a longish proboscis ; and so great a variety is there in the struc- ture of the species, that Sig. Costa has proposed 3 genera, and 1 doubt not many more will be necessary when the group is investigated. The oeconomy of the valuable Cochineal insect being well known, I shall prefer giving the history of C. Ace- 7is, with which ]VIr. \\'estwood has favoured me, together with males of the insect.

" My specimens of this species," he says, "have been ob- tained from a young plant of Acer Pseudo-plat anus., growing in a very confined situation at Kensington. The males make their appearance in the winged state in the month ol' May, when the impregnation of the female takes place in the singular manner described by Reaumur (v. 4). The males on emerging from their singular cocoons escape backwards, iJie wings being ex- tended flatly over the head. By the end of June the females have attained their full gravid size, and on lifting up their bo- dies, their whole interior is occupied by white flowery-like mat- ter, in which the minute young are to be observed, of the size of a small dot. In this state they are hexapod and antennife- rous, active, and furnisheti with '2 elongated anal seta". Bv the end of July the young cjuit the body of their parent, and ascend to the extremity ot the young branches ; there they affix themselves, gradually increasing in size, and losing tlie anal setaj as well as their former activity. In this state they re- main through the winter, without any diversity of apjiearance indicative of the sexes, and it is not until the following April that this is first perceived by the further increased growth of the females, and by the males assuming the pupa state. The female when full grown has the appearance of a large shining warty excrescence, without any trace of segments. They are much infested by Chalcidideous parasites, several species of which belong to a tlistinct genus, intermediate between En- a/rtus and Euluphus, which I have describeil uniler the name of Coccop/ia<j,us."

As the Cocci generally kill the plants on which they live, those that infest the vine, pine-apple, &c. do great mischief in liot-houses, where congenial heat, and the absence probably of those parasites which in the native countries of those {plants kee|) them in check, contribute to their rapid proj)agation, if j)roper care be not taken to destroy them when they first make their a|)pearance.

I CONSIDKK iliis i,Moup iiioie nearly allied to Ps_vlla(rol. 565.) ill the Ibriiiatioii ot the heail and rostrum than the Cinarae are ; and whatever may be the allinilies of Tlirips, it ceitainly must not separate these two groups, which it does in my Guide, where I adopted the views and arrangement of Latreille.

I must observe that I have ilescribed the wingeil specimens as males, ant! the ajiterous as females ; but as 1 iiave detected the horny })rocess beneath the ajiex in both, and in the same species, I am not confident that niy fig. F is a female, neither have I been able to identify the species.

The following insects belong, I believe, to this genus; they inhabit the plants after which they are named, and I have re- ferred, as far as I am able, to figures and description^ of them.

RoBORis Linn. Curt. Guide, Gen. 1047". 30.

Shining black, wings iridescent, superior with the apical portion and a fascia across the middle dark brown ; stigma ferruginous, margined by a lunate transparent spot divided in the centre by a brown line ; antennae and legs ferruginous, 2 basal and 2 apical joints of the former fuscous, apex of the tibiae, of the posterior thighs, the hinder tibiae, excepting the base, and all the tarsi piceous. Female similar, but apterous.

There is no insect that does more mischief in this country, and causes a greater loss of property, than the Aphides, or plant-lice, for not only is the beauty of our gardens defaced and the loveliest flowers destroyed, but the most promising crops are rendered unproductive through the agency of one of these little animals, the Hop-fly.

The Aphides are very remarkable in their ceconomy, and their increase is almost marvellous : the female is sometimes

oviparous, but more generally viviparous, and frequently pro- duces young wiiliout associating with the male, and in this way, according to Bonnet, they have multiplied for nine ge- nerations in the space of three months : it is also said by one observer in the Ent. Mug., that female Hop-flies sometimes produce "vcinged individuals. By this rapid succession we may frequently see at the same period, on a single leaf, larvre of every size, the pupa^, winged males and apterous females, their exuviae, and the shells of those that are pierced by parasites, which together render the sweetest plants offensive both to the touch and sight.

The greatest mischief, however, arises from their exhausting the plant. I once observed some Aphides upon a Sonchus ; they were all sucking it: the females were of various sizes, and the winged males had their proboscis thrust its whole length into the stalk and calyx, and the punctures they had made were indicated by the sap exuding and becoming dark as it hardened over the wounds after the insects had left the spot. Fortunately for man, no insect has more enemies than the Aphides : the most conspicuous amongst them are the larvae of the Chrijsnpa (pi. 520), the Lady-bird {Cocciuella, pi. ^SS), and of a beautiful fly {Scccva Fijraslri, fol. 509.), which revel amongst their helpless victims until they are transformed into pupa; but besides these, there are minute parasites which are not less useful in keeping the Aphides within bounds, amongst them are Ceraphron Carpentcri (fol. 249.), Cj/r/ogaster i^ilgaris (Guide, Gen. G24'.), Cijiiips crythrucephalus^ and the Aphidii (pi. 383). Tiiese Hymenoptera (the last of which have been investigated and described by Mr. Ilaliday in the Ent. Mag.,) generally deposit their eggs in the larva.' or pupie of the Aphi- des, which then assume an opake and horny ap}>earance; and when the imago escapes, a hole is visible on the side, sometimes with the ojierculum attached, and open like a door.

The Aphides have also the singular property of producing the saccharine matter called Honey-dew, that exudes in glo- bules from the tubes attached to the bodies of many species, and it is this deposit which the Ants are so I'ond of

From a careful investigation of these insects, I find they may be very easily, and, 1 may add, usefully formed into two genera, the CiNARii;, with antennae shorter than the body: proboscis as long as the body, at least in the males, and project- ing immediately from the clypeus ; with the collar short in the males. Nos. 20 to 30 enumerated in the Guide, with the ex- ception of No. 29, belong to this genus. Both sexes of the species figured I have found in Darent Wood and the New Forest, the beginning of June, on Oaks.

The others, which may be considered the typical Aphides, I shall illustrate in the following jilate; they are characterized by antenuic longer than the boily : proboscis nmch shorter, especially in the winged males, and arising between the ante- rior coxiL" : the collar long in the males.

The Plant is TriJ'olium at-vense (Hare's-foot Trefoil).

Male black, shining : antennae 8-jointed ? apex indistinctly ar- ticulated : head ovate, truncated behind : thorax suborbicular, sides foveolated : wings small ovate, whitish : antennae and legs pale ochre, basal and 2 apical joints of former, thighs and 2nd tarsal joint brownish.

The genus Thrips of Linne has given rise to as great a variety of opinions regarding its affinities, as Stylops ; but after all tliat has been adduced respecting its aUiance to the Ortho- ptera, Neuroptera, &;c., I have not the least hesitation in adopt- ing the opinion of Mr. Haliday, who lias established it as a distinct order. The setiform mandibles show that Thrips belongs to the Hausteilatii?, and its rostriform tropin undoubt- edly indicate a near relationship to the Homoptera, in which order Psylla (pi. 565) seems to make the nearest approach to it. The trophi are similarly situated at the extremity of tiie face, close to the anterior coxa^ : it has a borer composed of four pieces, and the tarsi are biarticulate. One of the maxil- lary palpi was bent back in the specimen I dissected, which might be an accidental position, for I could not discover the other. Fig. g. represents a piece which projected from be- neath the labrum, which seems to have its analogue in the Tettigonidai {pi. 633. g.).

These insects live upon the juices of plants, and probably on the pollen, for every flower sometimes swarms with them. It is the Thrips which causes an intolerable irritation of the face, when it runs and leaps with its bladder-shaped feet over the skin, throwing up its head and twisting about its tail to ojien or close its wings. ]\Iinute as they are they do very great injury to various crops. T. jjJnjsapus of Kirby, L. cc- realiuni, Hal. is the insect which, by attacking the wheat stems above the knot occasions abortive ears. " In the year 1805," observes Mr. Haliday, "one third of the wheat crop in the richest plains of Piedmont is said to have been destroyed bv this seemingly insimiificant little insect." We also iearn from Professor Passerini, that the olives of Italy are greatly injured by a species of Thrips, which fixes itself under the leaves. The rye-spikes also in IScotland, infested by some of these insects, are stated to become unprolilic.

I must refer to I\Ir. Haliday's invaluable memoir for cha- racters of the families, genera, and species, a list of which will be found in the Guide, and 1 can only avail myself of that portion of his synoptic table which comprises the genus Thrips as restricted by him.

This singular little insect is nearest related to Psylla ; but the form of the head, the prothorax, and antennas, will show that it was necessary to separate it from that group.

Not having living specimens, I was unable to discover the

mandibles and maxiilte, but Latreille says they {les soies) ap- peared to him very long ; neither could I ascertain whether the curious spine shown at fig. 6f. was attached to the post- pectus or the coxaj ; but I am inclined to think to tlie latter. I discovered, however, that the tarsi consisted of 3 joints, and not of 2, as hitherto stated.

In our excursion last July to Bottisham Fen, Prof. Henslow pointed out to me the singular appearance of the Juncus, as represented in our plate, and informed me that it was occa- sioned by the Livia Junconun ; and on opening the tuft we fountl the larva? and pupa? in some abundance. As Latreille was the first historian of our insect, and gave a very excellent memoir upon it, I shall give some of his remarks upon its occonomy. lie ini'orms us, that "the i'emales deposit their eggs in the flowers of the ,7////c/« ar/iculatus (pi. 2.), or at least in their shoots. The sap of the plant repairing to these parts in greater abundance, it forms there a monstrosity, which has the apjiearance of a bundle of grass. The divisions of the calyx are elongated into a sort of barb or awn. The eggs are few in number, tolerably large, oval, yellowish, shining, marked with a red dot at one end, and attached to the leaves by a pe- dicel. The Larvae, as well as the Pupa?, move slowly. They live constantly inclosed in the interior of these false galls, sup- porting themselves on the juice of the plant, and voiding a fa- rinaceous matter very white, in the midst of which they seem to delight in living. The jierfect insect also remains there very {|uietly, and, like the other Psyllidae, it jumps more than it walks."

The coloured Plant is Lathynis i)alustris (Marsh Vetch- ling).

In the Cabinets of Mr. Dale and the Author.

Of this family we have aheady figured the other two genera, Livia (pi. 4-92) and Psylla (pi. 565), which Livilla connects, its coriaceous elytra and stoutish legs agreeing with the former, but making a nearer approach to the latter in the form of the head and proportions of the antenna\

For specimens of this new and curious little insect I am in- debted to Mr. Dale, by whom they were discovered upon Furze- bushes and grass the 28th June in Mr. Webb's plantation, Annis, West Camel, Somerset, and the following day in plenty on Iligham Hill, near Breach Wood, Langport, in the same county. This insect has the power of jumping like the rest of the family, and I have observed that the Psyllae expand their winjjs on such occasions.

In the Author's and other Cabinets.

Psylla is a very numerous genus, which has been but httle attended to. Linnaeus only gives their names, which, hke the Aphides, are for the most part derived from the plants that they inhabit. Many species in their larvae and pupse states are clothed with a white fleecy and cottony substance, and their excrement forms threads or masses of a glutinous and

sweet nature. The perfect insects jump when disturbed, in wliicli the authors oi" the Int. to Ent. think they are assisted by the short spines attached to the hiniier coxa?. One of the most remarkable appearances in this group is the singukar situation of the rostrum or promuscis as it is called, which seems to spring from ihe breast, in consequence of the face being obIi(jue, and tlie head so closely united to the antepectus as to render their separation diflicult.

Latreille says that some species in piercing vegetables in order to suck the sap, cause in parts, especially on the leaves and buds, monstrosities like galls in appearance. Both lleau- mur and DeCicer have illustrated this group, and the list in my Ciuide will be found in Gmelin's Syst. Nat. 5. P. Pyri Limi.—DcG. v. 3, pi. 9./. 1 16.

The following accurate observations in a letter I received from T. A. Knight, Esq., of Downton, seem to apply to this species. " Tiie insect first appears in April and ]\Iay, soli- tarily on the lower surfaces of the leaves in the Pear, inclosed in a globule of honey, and subsecjuently retires to the bases of the leaves and dej)osits much honey upon the buds. The gardener is first made acquainted with its presence by the number of Humble-bees which are attracted by its lioncy, but in a short time the tlimini><hed growth of the iiuit and the sickly appearance of the ibliage point out to him the injurious operation of his minute enemy." 15.

Maculipennis Curt. Guide, Gen. 1051'', 3.

Mr. Lewis established this group under the name it now bears in the Trans, of the Ent. Soc. The males are well cliaracterized by their remarkable clubbed antennae, and both sexes differ from all allied genera by the broad and long membranous margins of the elytra, which lap over each other when they are closed. One species is very remarkable for the incrassated and somewhat serrated costa, which is peculiar to the male ; the small seta at the apex of the club of the an- tennae also varies considerably, being short and elongate-tri- gonate in some, whilst in others it is a fine and longer bristle.

The following species are contained in my own Cabinet, and the 3 Fabrician names included in this genus in my Guide, must, I expect, be removed from thence.

1. stigmaticalis Lewis in Trans. Ent. Sue. v. 1. p. 28. jil. 7.

The genus Amblycephalus, which I described three years since in the Entomological Magazine, belongs to that division

of Tettigonidje which has long bristly hind legs, and is sepa- rated from neighbouring groups by its subtrigonate but rounded head : from Eupteryx it is at once distinguished by its ocelli, which are absent in that genus, and generally it differs also in its more robust form and shorter wings, which do not cover the apex of the abdomen in the typical sjiecies, and these are further marked by the elevated anchor-shaped lines on the fore j)art ot the head. Although the following species vary considerably in their form, yet thev all agree in having two ocelli behind the anterior margin of the head, but they are more remote and placed further behind in some than in others. a.

In the Cabinets of Mr. Dale and the Author.

This group, which formed the 2nd division of my genus Aphrodes, appears to be synonymous with Germar's Acuce- phalus. It is at once distinguished from Tettigonia, which it very much resembles, by the long sphied hinder tibiae, from

Aml)lycephaliis by the shape of the clypeus, and from other neighbouring groups by the ibrni of tlie head, which is Hke tliat of EupeHx, but much less developed.

The following descriptions will serve to characterize some of our species.

1. Cardui Curt. ? 3^ lines long: dull ochreous, inclining to ferrugi- nous or olive, more or less freckled with brown nervures, irregularly marked with brown ; a black spot on each side the parapleurae ; the abdomen beneath thickly freckled witli black.

Black, head, thorax and elytra thickly punctured, the edges of the segments of the body and the apex partially red : elytra with an oblong scarlet spot on each side the scutellum, another some- what rounded one on the disc of each, and a 3rd large lunulate one towards the apex, meeting on the back : wings fuscous, ex- cept towards the upper margin, where 3 or 4 of the nervures are scarlet as well as the base.

In the Author s and other Cabinets.

The species just described is the only one that inhabits Bri- tain ; yet the C. sanguinolenta has always been recorded as

such ; and to prevent further confusion I shall here charac- terize it.

1. C. sanguinolenta Linn. S. N. 2. 708. 22. Ahr./as. 4^. t. 20.

Scarcely so large as No. 2, black, elytra with a long scarlet spot at the base of each, a round one on the disc and a narrow lunulate one towartls the apex: abdomen red, banded beneath with bhick, and a row of red spots on each siile of the same colour; apex of thighs and base of tibiae red.

I took specimens of this insect, which is not found in the North of Europe, at Nismes and Montpellier.

Linna-His's description oi' C.sanguinolenla is so characteristic, that it is surprising how the two species could have been con- founded ; but Fabricius having once made the error, it lias been echoed by every compiler since, from Dr. Turton to Mr. Stephens. The species were separated by Rossi, and were first recorded as distinct in my Guide.*

•2. C. vulnerata Eossi. Curt. Brit. Ent. pi. 461.

Taken in various parts of England in June and July, gene- rally upon the Fern ; but it also frequents grass, the Alder and Sallow. It is not uncommon in open places in the New Forest and Darent Wood. Mr. Dale takes it at Glanville's Wootton ; and Mr. Denny has captured a variety near Cambridge, I un- derstand.

The Plant is Lijcnpus curopiTus (Water Ilorehound).

* As there is space for an observation or two, I wish in justice to myself to state, that I am preparing a second edition of my Guide, which cannot fail to resemble Mr. Stephens's Nomenclature, for this palpable reason, that he has not contented himself with correcting it from my Guide, and copying column after column from it, but he has actually adopted the style and |ilan of my work : so that his book now hears the exact resemblance of mine, and is rather a second edition of my Guide than of his Nomencla- ture ; a very modest act for one who has brought an action against another for the same trespass!

I may add, that when I began my Guide, Mr. Stephens, I believe, had no idea of printing a Nomenclature; I therefore could have no intention of interfering with his undertaking ; and in truth my little Guide could not affect the sale of his ponderous Catalogue, and that was not published when the first sheet of the Guide appeared.

From the assistance promised me by some of our ablest entomologists, I hope to make the second edition of my Guide much better than that pa- rasite which has been grafted upon it, and to render it by far the most useful and complete Catalogue of British bisects that has ever appeared.

LEDRA AURITA.

Order Homoptera. Fam. Cercopidse.

Type of the Genus, Cicada aurita Linn.

Ledra Fab., Lat., Leach, Curt. Membracis OUv., Lam. Cicada Linn., Geof.

In the Author's and other Cabinets.

Of all the strange forms we meet with in the Insect world, there are none more singular and grotesque than those which are to be found in the groups allied to the insect before us. Ledra even is remarkable for its shovel-head and two ear- shaped appendages on its back ; characters which readily di- stinguish it from Cercopis (pi. -IGl), a genus which Latreille placed next to it ; and from the Membraces, of which Ceutrotus forms a part, it is separated by its simjily truncated thorax, which is elongated into a tail in the Membraces (vide pi. '313.).

Our species is the only one of the genus, 1 believe, and it is by no means a common insect : Mr. Samouelle states that they " inhabit the oak and various trees in woods." I have gene- rally found them upon oaks in June and July, but only in Ua- rent Wood. Mr. Dale has met with it I believe in Hamp- shire, and I have a pupa that he gave me which considerably resembles the perfect insect in colour and the form of the head, but the auriculate lobes are not developed, they are merely in- dicated by 2 raised carina^; the elytra are short and applied close to the sides ; and the abdomen is somewhat depressed, with the margin round the apex dilated, crenated, thin, and horny.

Whether these insects live in their early stages in the frothy secretions that envelop those of kindred genera 1 am igno- rant, being unacquainted with their ccconomy.

The perfect insect is represented of its natural size at fig.N with its wings closed, and in Kirby and Spence's Introduction to Entomology there is a coloured figure of it in a similar po- sition.

The Plant is Ccntajirca Calcitrapa, Common Star Thistle.

In the Author's and other Cabinets.

Of all Nature's works, amongst the insect tribes, this family is the most remarkable lor the grotesque and extraordinary forms the species exhibit ; the thorax being produced in the shape of horns of the most whimsical figures and in various directions ; sometimes projecting over the head like a helmet, at others forming a tail, which looks quite artificial, and again assuming the characters of ears or the horns of animals. Some of these prodigies are represented in the 18th Plate of Coquebert's Illustrations, in the 4th vol. of Germar's Magazine, and I think in the Magazine of Natural History.

In essential characters Centrotus nearly resembles the true Cicada?; and for what reason the only two species that inhabit Britain should have been lately placed in two distinct genera, it is difficult to discover, since the differences between them are such as are entirely specific. Indeed we have none of the true Membraces of Fabricius in Britain : they are at once characterized by their compressed form, some of them being so much flattened that they appear as if they had been pressed by some accident; and it is even difficult to pass a pin through them vertically.

Latreille formerly united Centrotus with Membracis, but lie has since separated them. Fabricius in the Sj/sfetna Itht/n- gotorum has included both our British species in his genus Centrotus; and to render this subject more complete, I shall proceed to describe the type.

Delphax is distinguished from Asiraca (pi. 44-5) by the short basal joint of the antennae, and from my genus Criomorphus by its ample wings. A species figured and described by Mr. West- wood in the 6th vol. of Loudon's Mag. Nat. Hist, under the

name of D. saccharivora is very destructive to the sunrar-cane in the West Indies. The l"ollo\vin<r are Britislj examples of the genus, and most of them frequent the borders of rivers and brooks,

I fear it will be necessary to divide these neighbouring groups considerably, for if we take the D. clavicornis and minuta Fab. as types of Asiraca and Delphax, the former distinguished by

the length of the basal johit of the aiUenmr, the latter by its shortness, we shall find a «);reat number of species that difier very materially from ihem: the insect figured for instance has the antennte and head of A.siraca, but die neuration of the wings and the form of the legs agree better with Delphax, as do those also of A. dubia : it will therefore form a very good sub- genus, being distinguished from die type A. davicornis by its simple anterior legs, and a great dissimilarity in the superior and the ample size of the inferior wings; the 2 first joints of the antenna- are also of nearly ecjual Inigth : another group I have lately characterized in the Entomological Magazine un- der the name of Criomoij)hus.

In dissecting these insects I discovered on each side the labrum, or rather perhaps the clypeus, an acuminated horny lobe: they covered apparently the base of the mandibles or maxilUv, and are common to the insects of this division.

The following species have been taken in Britain.

1. A. davicornis Fcib. Coqiicherfs Icon. pi. 8./ 7.1 Length nearly 2 lines. Piceous, antenna^ head and ante- rior portion of thorax ochreous ; superior wings variegated with brown at the tips, the nervurcs slightly tuberculated and having series of short bristles: inferior wings minute; legs va- riegated with brown, anterior dilated, brown with a few ochreous spots, the tip of the tibia of the same colour.

Grassy places, end of April, in a clover field at Henstead, Suffolk, J. C.

2. A. dubia Crcut.—Panz. 35. 20.— grisea Lat.

lines long. Smooth, pale ochreous, robust; eyes black, 2nd joint of antennae nearly as long as the 1st, both brown at the tips, a brown line on each side the thorax : superior wings shorter than the body, immaculate ; inferior none ; abdomen variegated with brown.

SOth July and beginning of Sept., on rushes near Black Gang Chine.

3. A. pulchella Curt. Brit. Ent. pi. 41-5.— Allied to D. cras-

sicornis Fab. and Panz. 35. 19.

I first discovered this pretty insect with the foregoing spe- cies, and Mr. Dale having taken Uiem in company, imagined that A. dubia might be the pupa, but I think it may be die female of./, pulchella, lor I have never seen a male of it, whilst of this species I cannot find a female. It has aUo been found by Mr. Dale in a damp situation near the sea at Charmouth, as well as another pretty species on reeils at the Peat Pits, Weston on the Green, near Oxford, together with a 5ih hav- ing a very faint mark on the wings.

The beautiful Plant is Latlnjnts Nissolia (Crimson Grass- vetch), gathered at Puckaster Cove in the Isle of Wight, and communicated by Charles Vine, Esq.

The outline figure in repose shows the natural size. In the Author's Cabinet.

Cixius is related to Asiraca (pi. 44-5) on the one hand and to Issus (pi. 449) on the other. It is well known that in some of the cognate genera there are curious appendages to the an-

tennae, as in Oiiocerus o^Kithy, but I believe no one has before observed the elongation of the Srd joint in Ci.rius. I am not aware that the oeconomy of this group is known, yet the per- fect insects are not uncommon, frequenting trees and shrubs ; they rest with their wings closed, which they open to make short flights, and are assisted in rising by their hind legs.

These pretty insects seem to vary so much, and each often bears so considerable a resemblance in markings to the other, that it is difficult to say which are genuine species. The fol- lowing however are recorded as such, and 1 have several others which I shall not venture to name until more attention has been jv^id to them. I may here observe that the Flafa serra- tulcc of Fab. probably belongs to this genus, and I liave been wrong in admitting the F. musiva of Germar into niy list.

This insect varies so much in colour and markings, being sometimes nearly of an uniform clay colour, at others the elytra are dark with a paler band, that any one would at first

imagine there were many species of the genus; I believe, how- ever, that one only has been found in this country.

The following is a description of the beautiful variety re- presented in the Plate which is in the collection of my friend Mr. A. H. Davis. 1. I. coleoptratus Fab. Curt. Brit. EjU.pl. 44'9.

Pale ochreous, head, thorax and scutellum darker, va- riegated with brown ; eyes piceous; abdomen ochreous, the base ferruginous, a broad space on each side black, greenish at the base; elytra with a band next the thorax brown, a large lanceolate spot on the costa towards the apex formed by the brown reticulated nervures and spots between, an oblique paler line near the posterior margin, and a >-shaped one a little beyond the mid- dle ; inferior wings dark fuscous, the nervures darker, paler at the base, with a faint rosy tinge: 1st and 2nd pair of legs with the tips of the thighs and tibiae and a ring near the middle piceous, posterior thighs and base of tibiae fuscous, tarsi tipped with piceous. Obs. The form of the insect with its wings closed of the natural size is shown towards the foot of the Plate.

Isstis coleoptratus is found in hedges and woods round Lon- don, in May, June, and July ; I have taken it in Norfolk, and Mr. F. Walker informs me that he often finds it in October on the flowers of the Ivy at Southgate.

The Plant is lihinanthus Crista-galli (Yellov/ Rattle).

In the Author s and other Cabinets.

The CicacUe are exceedingly interesting from their having attracted the notice of the most celebrated ancient poets and writers ; and it is remarkable enough that whilst the Greeks loved and extolled them tor their sonjj, Virjril execrated them for their noi^e as well as more modern authors.

The males only are furnished with the curious apparatus for singing : a pleasing account of these insects will be found in the 2nd vol. of Kirby and Spence (p. 402) ; and in Latreille's Hist. Nat. tome 2. p. 293, their habits and oeconomv are de- tailed.

The species of Cicada? are very numerous and are distri- buted over a vast portion of the globe, from Europe to Brazil, the Cape of Good Hope, New Holland, China, and the inter- mediate countries. There are none nmch smaller than our British species, but I have a Herculean one from Penang, pre- sented to me by my friend James Thompson, Escj., which mea- sures 7 inches across, when the wings are expanded ; in an- other from Java the plates are very remarkable, and form a lobe on each side nearly | of an inch long.

No species has been found so far to the north I believe as C. Anglica. I have adopted this name, as I am not confident that it is the C. hconatodcs of Linn. ; the C. sangxiinca of Fabri- cius (C luematodcs Scop.) is a larger and different insect, which has never been found in England: we met with it in the vineyards in the JSouth of France, where we also took C. plv- bcia on the almond trees, C Orni on fir trees, as well as an- other the size of C. Atiglica^ and somewhat like it. Their songs were very difierent, but none of them very agreeable, and when the sun was unclouded tlie whole air vibrated with their singing.

C. Atiglica was first discovered in the New Forest about 20 years since, and although Mr. Dale and myself have been un- ceasing in our endeavours to find it, we never succeeded until last year. The first I took on the 2nd of June, and on the 7th two more; the males fly about like humble-bees ; the females I beat out of white-thorns, and some of them then flew into furze bushes, and when entangled in them, they made a buzzing like a Libellula similarly situated ; they are found also on the stems of the Fern, and I suspect ihe larvie live on the roots. I do not think our Cicada sings ; the abdominal plates are very small and appear to me to be united. Mr. Dale kept a male alive 2 or 3 days, but it was perfectly mute. This, however, is by no means conclusive, because it may require heat and sunshine to call its })owers of song into action.

Mr. ISamouelle having represented the female, I havefigureil the male, which is bv tin- the rarer sex. 'I'he Flant is Aqui- h-gia I'ulgaris (Counnon Columbine).

These insects are to be found in ponds and ditches all the year, together with the larvae and pupae (which are smaller than the imago) ; the former are without, and the latter have only rudiments of elytra : they are said to feed upon animalcula. The perfect in- sect being capable of inflicting a considerable wound with its ros- trum when taken, must be a formidable enemy amongst the weaker inhabitants of the water.

The wings, which are exquisitely delicate, and the elytra that protect them, are of little use to the insect in its natural element ; but they are necessary to its preservation, by enabling it to seek a more congenial situation, when the place of its habitation is dried up by the heat of the sun, or other casualties. Upon approaching a pond these insects may be seen lying upon their backs, with their tails touching the surface of the water, and their heads inclined

downward, watching probably for their prey ; and upon the least alarm they row off' and dive with the greatest celerity, their hinder lej^s (which are most beautifully fringed with long silky hair) serving (liem like oars, from whence the appellation of Boatfly.

The genus Notonecta contains 3 species, differing only in colour and markings.

1. N. furcata Fah. Ent. Syst. 4. 58. 2.— Don. IG. 560. 2.— Sam. pi 5./. 3.

Length 7'z lines. Oclireous, eyes piceous ; head and thorax shining: scutellum metathorax and al)domen black, the latter with the margins ochreous-yellow : elytra brown with 2 broad pale ochre streaks at the base ; a spot at the middle ochreous brown, edge of costa and apex pale fuscous variegated with brown : wings opalescent, with a slight yellowish tint, nervures piceous.

This species is less abundant than the next, but may be found plentifully round London and other parts of the kingdom, from April to October. Mr. Dale has observed it at Glanville's Woot- tou ; Isle of Portland ; and New Forest.

2. N. glauca Linn. Faun. Suec. 244. 903. Don. 3. 75.

Length 6\ lines. Ochreous, eyes piceous ; head and thorax shining, the basal half of the former more or less lead-coloured : scutellum metathorax and abdomen black, the apex and sides of the latter ochreous : elytra with the costa ferruginous, bearing several blackish spots, and frequently a brown spot on the inferior margin ; posterior margin semitransparent, the tip brownish : wings opalescent, with a slight yellowish tint, nervures ochreous. Sometimes the elytra are slightly sprinkled with brown spots on the inferior margin.

Found in almost every pond from the middle of March to the end of October.

3. N. maculata Fah.— Curt. Brit. Eiit.pl. 10.— Don. 16. 560. 1.

Ochreous : eyes piceous ; head and thorax shining, the latter inclining to cinereous behind ; metathorax bright orange, black at the base as well as the scutellum : abdomen orange, with a semiorbicular velvety black patch at the base, lateral margin of the penultimate joint green : elytra orange- ochre, irregularly clouded and spotted with brown, posterior margin pale brown : wings opalescent, with a yellowish tint, orange at the base, the nervures brownish : legs sometimes greenish-ochre.

This beautiful insect is rarely found near London, but it has occurred at Turnham Green ; in the West of England it is more abundant, and is found from the end of July to llie beginning of October. jNIr. Dale first met with it at Glanville's Wootton ; after- wards in the New Forest; Isle of Portland; on C'licddcr Cliffs in a pond free from weeds, and in .Scotland; at Charniouth; near Bath; also near Bristol, and in the neighbourhood of Exeter and Ply- mouth, by Dr. Leach.

A Notonecta allied to macnlala, and discovered by the late ^Ir. II. Scales, is mentioned in the Entomological Transactions, which Mr. Dale says may be only a variety of >V. glauca, which lie has found to vary consiilerably, especially at W'hittlesea Mere.

Ccrastiwn aqiiaticum (Marsh Mouse-ear) is figured in the plate.

Theke are various species of this singular insect distributed over the old world, hut I do not remember to have seen one from any part of America ; yet the genera Beloslonia and Naucoris are not uncommon there. The only species found in this country, and I believe I may add in Europe, inhabits ditches and ponds : it moves slowly, and when resting amongst the conferva? or mud at the bottom of the water it is easily overlooked, from its obscure dirty colour ; yet when the wings are expanded, the fine scarlet tint of the back gives it a hand- some appearance. I think there is little doubt that Nepa can flv, yet I never heard of one being detected on the wing. It is' found throughout the year in every stage. The eggs are very remarkable, and resemble the seeds of some Syngenesious plants; they are deposited in a string, embracing each other by seven rays surrounding the apex, which close upon the base of the one before it.

These insects, like Ilanatrn linearis (pi. 281.), are carnivo- rous, and live, I believe, in their diifcrent states, upon other insects and small animals, such as tadpoles, whether dead ov alive: they are provided with powerful anterior legs, peculi- arly adapted for seizing upon the larva,^ and pu});e of other aquatic insects, more active than themselves, which are speed- ily despatched by their strong proboscis. Like other insects inhabiting the water, their antennae are small, and their situa- tion is similar to that of the flea, lying in cavities immediately behind the eyes. The filaments forming two tails are for the purpose of respiration when the insects are under water.

In the 7th volume of the " Annales Gcnerales des Sciences Physiques" is an elaborate and curious memoir, by Mons. Leon Dufour, detailing the anatomy and organization o^Ncpa cinerea and Raiiatra linearis, which are said to be very remark- able.

The plant is Sagittaria sagittifolia, Common Arrow-heaii.

These singular animals inhabit the water in every stage of their existence, and it is said they prefer the deepest parts. The female forces her eggs into the stem of a Scirpiis, or some other aquatic plant, so that they are concealed ; and it is only the two bristles which are attached to one end of them that are visible. The plants containing the eggs are figured by Geoffroy ; they are easily preserved in water, and may be kept till the young hatch.

The perfect insects leave the ponds and ditches they inhabit in the evening, and may be found, I have heard, on their borders amongst the mud, which they so much resemble in colour, that unless they move it is almost impossible to detect them. Like most other winged water insects they fly in the night, and sometimes it is said to a considerable distance, in search of places better suited to their habits in dry seasons, when many ponds and small pieces of water are dried up ; as their eggs in such instances would be destroyed.

The Ranatra Imcaris, which is the only European species, lives upon other water insects, which it holds between its fore feet, whilst it pierces and sucks them with its beak or rostrum. They are found from January to July, and also in September, and most })robably all the year : they seem to be generally distributed, and may be taken in most parts of the neighbourhood of London. Mr. Samouelle mentions Epping Forest, Copenhagen Fields, and Hammersmith ; INIr. Dono- van, Ilford, Essex; Dr. Stephenson has captured them on Wantlsworth Common ; and IMr. Flenry Atkinson near Prim- rose-hill. They have been taken also in Norfolk and Suffolk ; and I am indebted to Charles C. Babington, Escj. of St. John's College, for very fine specimens taken near Cambridge last spring.

The plant is Ocntiana Pneumonanthe (Calathian Violet).

These insects by rowing with their posterior feet ghde over the water with great swiftness, and their undersides are ren- dered impervious by the beautiful silvery hairs with which they are densely covered. Gerris is most nearly allied to Velia (pi. 2), but is distinguished by its horizontal head, the great length of the 4 posterior legs, which are very remote from the anterior, and the tarsi are biarticulate. Like Velia and Hydrometra, some adult specimens are apterous, as in G. Paiisari'jis which is very like G. paludwn, but I cannot

Elytra with a long white spot at the base and 3 round ones down the middle of each. Wings fuscous with darker nervures. In the Author's and other Cabinets.

^ This is called the Rostrum ; it is the analogue of the labium, and is similar to that part in the Diptera, being hollow and open above to receive the other trophi. The greatest difference seems to be in the absence of a tongue ; the 4 setae united probably form a tube which would supersede the necessity of such an organ. In figure 2* the part distinguished at a, may be analogous to the mentum, and b to the bilobed fleshy lip of the Diptera, which in this order is horny.

Velia is nearly related to Gerris and Hydrometra (PI. 32), and like those j^enera is remarkable for occasionally wanting wings; and although t years since I was induced to offer an opinion which in- clined to a belief that the apterous specimens might be the pupae only, I am now almost convinced that they are a distinct species; for it is no uncommon circumstance in the New Forest to find the largest apterous species of Gerris united, the abdomen of the female being greatly distended : it is therelbre still to be hoped that some assiduous entomologist who resides in a convenient situation, will endeavour to decide this doubtful and interesting cjucstion, by con- fining a sufficient number of V. currens (the conmion and apterous s{)ecies) in a frame covered with coarse gauze, and letting it float where they have been observed to congregate.

In the winged specimens the thorax projects over the abdomen as in Gerris, and the scutellum seems to be wanting; the ciliated middle tibiae common to both sexes, and the spined jiosterior thighs of the male, are not common characters, although they are observable in Gerris, from which Velia is distuiguished by its shorter legs and 3-jointed anterior tarsi, the terminal joint of which pro- jecting in a lobe over the claws is very remarkable and is less di- stinct in the other feet. Tiie short and thick })ile with which the undersides of these insects are clothed, repells the water so that they are not injured by its action.

In the Cabinets of Mr. Haliday and the Author.

The family to which this insect belongs is remarkable for the large portion of individuals that appear without wings, which has led to a variety of opinions. Tiie questions hitherto have been whether the apterous specimens of Felia, Hi/drometra, and Gem's were perfect insects or pupa^, and if perfect, whe- ther they were distinct species from the winged examples. I shall now add another question. Do they not undergo, like the Ephemerida?, 4 metamorphoses? in which case the apterous would be the penultimate state of the winged species. Tiiat they are not in the imago state I should argue from the great variation in the thorax, which is generally less developed and sometiuies very different in form tt) the winged specimens; and that they are not pujia' may be inferred from tlieir being frecjuently found paired, and having no rudimentary wings. From a belief that the apterous specimens were not pupte, I stated on a former occasion that they probably were distinct species (vide folios 2, 32, and 553), but from subsequent con- siderations 1 think it probable they may be in that state which I have termed Pseudimago in my memoir on the Ephemeridaj and Phryganiche.

My I'riend Mr. Ilaliday has been the first to detect Ilj/drccssa pygmcca in our Islands ; lie says, " They were taken in a marsh near Ik-lfast in June and September; they move on the water more slowly than Telia, mostly among acjuatic plants: the fe- males seem more numerous than the males, and the winired specimens are very rare." 1 may adil that these are a little the largest, and the a|)terous males and females difi'er materially in size but not in habit ; the males are much smaller than our little figure ? , and the females, the magnified appearance of which is given in outline, are as large as the little figure just referred to: they have a whitish sericeous band on the fore part of the thorax divided at the middle, and 2 spots near the base antl the abdominal segments are of the same hue, except- ing down the back ; the legs are coloured like the winged spe- cimens. In the males the white j)ile is not so evident.

Mons. Leon Dufour first noticed this pretty little insect on shady stagnant water round .Saint Sever in Landes, and de- scribed it in the 2nd vol. of the Ann. de la Soc. Ent. de France : he found some hundreds of specimens, but only 2 or 3 with win<xs.

These curious insects are common in almost every brook and pond during the spring, where they may be seen with Ve- lia, pi. 2, and Gerris, pi. 553, gliding along the surface of the water. Most of them are either apterous, or have only short parallel elytra, whilst a few have ample elytra, decumbent and horizontalvvhen the insects are at rest, and also perfect wings, as exhibited in the specimen represented flying in the plate.

Like Velia and Gerris, it is at present impossible to determine whether the apterous specimens constitute a distinct species: that they are not pupas I am convinced, because I have found them in that state when they are smaller with rudimentary elytra; and as I now possess males and females of both, it is evident that the winj^s do not indicate a sexual distinction. These insects must therefore either be distinct species, or else they sometimes have and sometimes have not wings : this may well be a very difficult question, for if we were to find a well- known species of bird in its adult state at times with and at others without winsfs, no doubt it would very much embarrass the ornitholoifist. Entomology, however, presents so many anomaiies, that it will not be judicious to consider such as a parallel case. I confess that 1 am inclined to believe the Hy- drometrae are two distinct species ; at the same time I freely admit that there are so many instances of Hemipterous in- sects being found somelinics winged and at others apterous or semiapterous in their perfect state, that such variations may only arise from temjierature or casualties wilii which we are unaccjuainted, unless indeed it be a pseudimago state, as I have already promulgated at folio 681.

For a fine winged pair I am indebted to the Hon. C. A. Harris, who took 4 males and females the middle of August, with an abundance of apterous specimens and several pupa3 on a branch of the Stour, which runs through the grounds of the Earl of INIalmesbury at Heron Court. Mr. Dale has taken them at Rydal water, Cumberland, the end of August, and Mr. Marshall at Hornsey. Mr. W. Clifton found both winged antl apterous specimens on pulling up grass in the middle of a swainjiy field in June, on Barnes Conunon, in great abundance; also at Wandsworth, at the roots of trees on re- moving the grass; and I may add that I have taken them winged in June in the New Forest, but I have generally ob- served H. stagnorum on the sides of rivers and rutming brooks in April and May, but I found the larvit and imago untler stones on the shores of Loch Fad in August.

The TingidiC are a pretty group, varying considerably in outline and in the form of the antenna?, and will most probably eventually constitute several genera. The 2 species included in our genus Dictijonuta (in allusion to the reticulated back), possess a strong generic character in the 3rd joint of the an- tennae beinjT the thickest, wliereas in all the others the termi- nal one is the most robust, making them more or less clavate : the inflated hood over the head distinguishes it also from many others, but not from T. spinifrons of Fallen, figured by Panzer fasc. 99. n. 19. under the name of T. cristata.

That our insect is the T, crassicornis of Fallen there is little doubt, although from his not being acquainted with the other species, his description will in a great measure apply to both. I have only seen one specimen, which I found under a stone in a meadow near Bognor, Sussex, the beginning of August ; from which the annexed figure was* taken.

The other species appears to be the T. Eri/ngii of Latreille. It was taken in some abundance in July upon furze bushes ( Ulex\ by Mr. Carpenter ; and although with the assistance of a glass many characters present themselves, yet as there is a strong resemblance, we cannot perhaps employ ourselves more usefully than by subjoining the characters.

Fabricius established the genus Tingis in the Systema Rhyngotorum, where he describes Cardui as the type, for whicli reason I gave the name of Galeatus to the group widi a large hood and lobes to the thorax; it therefore appears to me that the name Monanthia, imposed by Lepeltier and adopted by Hahn, must fall.

Some of these insects are found upon thistles and flowers in abundance, and they always seem stiff and sluggish when disturbed.

AuADUS may be at once separated from the Tingidae by the greater length of the second joint of the antennae, by the elytra not covering the abdomen, by the tarsi of two joints, &c. ; and from Aneuriis (fol. 86), by the shortness of the terminal joint of the antenna?, the strong nervures, slender rostrum, S:c.

From their depressed form it is most likely that, like Aneurus, they reside under the bark of trees ; and from their variegated and plain colours they are not easily detected : but as they never occur I believe in any abundance in this countr}', their economy is not well known.

The genus has never before been recorded as British, al- though Stewart in his " Elements" mentions some of the species. The following are inhabitants of this Island.

1. A. depressus Fah. Wolff, tab. 13./ 123.

This is the most common of the species ; I have found it twice at Darent Wood, Kent : it is a very sluggish insect.

2. A. corticalis ? Linn. Curtis Brit. Ent. pi. 230.

Mr. Dale tliinks he took the female figured at Hurne, in Hampshire.

Although Linnaeus does not notice the pale termination of the third and fourth joints of the antennae, nor has Wolff re- presented them, I am disposed to think that they are subject to vary in this respect, or it may be a sexual mark ; and whether Schellenberg's Corcus spinigcr be allied to this or to A. dcjnrssns, I cannot ascertain, not having the work.

Upon an examination of our insect, it was found to be so very different in structure to Aradus, that it was impossible to in- clude it in that genus, which has the 2nd joint of the antennas the longest, a rostrum longer than the head, an elongated

trianorular scutelliim, and elvtia wiili verv strong nerves, Tliese characters will Ik- touiul, wpou a comjiarison with our description and drawin^^, to be totally diflerent from those which AneJiriis exliibits ; this name impUes the absence of ner- viires in the elytra and win<rs.

Aneunis lien's is a l-'abrician species, describetl by that au- thor as British, iVoni the cabinet of the late Sir Joseph Banks. I am not aware that it has been before figured; and from La- treille never havinj^ seen it, we may presume that it is very rare upon the Continent. In economy it resembles the Aradi, living under bark, for which it> form is peculiarly adapted, the flatness of its body and tlu^ shortness of its legs enabling it to lie very close ; and this will account for the remarkably short rostrum, which is no less well adapted for its jiarticular habits of life, the extraction of luitrition from the internal co- verincT of trees. From the number 1 met with the end of August 1822, they appear to be gregarious; they were con- cealed beneath the loose bark of a fir-pole that was laid across a brook, near Parley Heath, Hampshire. The males are smaller than the females.

The plant is Erijsimwn Barbana (W'inlei- Cresses, or Rocket).

These insects, together with their larvae and pupce, are very abundant on the borders of rivers, lakes, and ponds, as well as on the sea-shore, where they inhabit the Zosfera and rejecta- menta. In fine weather they are extremely active, running with great speed, and jumping with astonishing agihty; but in dull days they lie concealed in the cracks of the mud, under stones, &c.

The little attention that has been paid to this genus renders it

impossible to determine the species with accuracy, but to those

Stewart says, " The bed-bug is unhappily but too well known, and was an inhabitant of Europe prior to the Christian aera; at least it is mentioned by Aristophanes and other Greek writers. Southall says it was hardly known in London before 1670, but there is good authority for asserting, that it was common enough there before the great fire in 1666."

No insect in England causes more uneasiness to the house- keeper than this loathsome insect, yet there are few dwellings

in London tliat are entirely free from tliem, and tliey are gra- dually fiiulini,' their way, by the constant traffic going on, into every city and town in England. To prevent their emigration is impossible, for although they are fortunately destitute of the oro-ans of flight, a trunk or great-coat remaining one night in an infested room may harbour enough to stock a whole house; and they have even been observed in vast numbers coming out of the cracks of Canada timber employed in the structure of new houses. As every one may be subject to this annoyance, nothing would be more acceptable than a remedy, and perhaps the easiest and most effectual is extreme cleanliness and con- stant vigilance : if a bed-room, for instance, be infected, all chinks in the wall should be carefully stopped with plaster of Paris, the ceiling washetl with lime, and the floor scrubbed with hot water and soap ; every nail-hole and crack in the bed- stead must be filled with putty, and after being taken to pieces and well scrubbed, it ought to be washed, when dry, with spi- rits of turjjentine, or a solution of corrosive sublimate, which has not so unpleasant a scent as the turpentine, and is, I think, even more efficacious ; and the skirting-boards and even the walls may be washed with this solution without detriment, except where there are metallic mouldings. In travelling, par- ticularly abroad, I have freed myself from these persecuting animals and obtained a good night's rest, by sprinkling the sheets with spirits of turpentine before going to bed.

The House-bug makes its appearance with the first warm days of spring, and is found during the summer months. As soon as it is hatched from the egg it can run about, and is then so transparent that the blood can be distinctly seen through the abdomen; after becoming pupa? there is little dit- ference in their api)earance except in si/e and colour, and in their perfect state they very much resemble the pupa?. I have some idea that in the last state, the males do not suck the blood of man, and if I am not very much mistaken the Bug frequently turns his rostrum over his head as represented at fi". 1. p, when he feeds, in which case he cannot well pierce the object he stands upon. It is also a remarkable cjuality that many of the Cimicida? jiossess, of connnunicating an oflensive odour when touched. Bugs are very active at night, but they secrete themselves during the day; they can live a very long period without nourishment, and DeGeer observed that tliey occasionally fed upon each other: we learn also from Latreille that they torment the young of pigeons, swallows, Sec, but that which lives on the latter birds forms a distinct species.

The Plant is Etysimwn Alliaria or Alliaria ojjicinalis (Sauce-alone, or Jack by the Hedge).

In the Author's Cabinet.

M. Di: Laportf. first ilistinguihlied this geiuis from tl)e oilier Ueduvii by its 5-jointe(J antenna?, and ocelli placed bij'orc the eyes at the base of the rostrum ; but after a revision of his Essay, he remodelled his synojitic table and gave the following characters: " Anterior thighs dilated in the middle : antenuic with not more than .) joints: anteiior thighs without spines: eyes onlinary : 2nd joint of antenna." not sensibly thicker than the last : transverse channel of thorax placed behind : heine- lytra short." As it is evident that the ocelli are placed bc- twccJi the eyes, and that the anterior thighs are spiny, the above definitions are defective. Not having studied the exotic lle- tluvii sufliciently, I am unable to give proper essential cha- racters to this group; but Prostennna appears to be distin- guished from die other British genera by the length of the basal, and the shortness of the 2nd joints of tlie antenna^, by the spiny anterior thighs and the peculiar form of the anterior tibiie, wliich are furnished with a large flesiiy sucker at the apex, adapted to prehension. There may possibly be mi- nute annulets at the base of the 2 terminal joints of the an- tennae, but for want of a specimen to dissect I have not been able to determine that point.

This beautiful insect was discovered last September on the sand hills near Sandwich, by my friend Mr. A. Kennedy, who very kindly presented me with his only sjiecimen. Mons. Dufour at first consiilereil this to be an inidcscribetl species, but he now agrees with the Count de Castelnau in thinking it is an apterous example of 11. Grtttula, Fab. Latreille says it is found in the neighbourhood of Paris, sometimes in houses (l)rought in possibly with the fuel), and that it is rarely found winjfed. M. Dufour has taken it not uncommonlv in the environs of Saint Sever as well as in Spain, under stones or knots of dry jjlants.

In a recent number we described an insect (Hydroessa pygma^a) found by the same distinguished naturalist in the South of France, which was soon after delected in tlie north of Ireland by Mr. lialiday, and we now have before us another instance of the insects of the south finding their way in dry seasons to our country ; and, on the other liand, in our prece- ding plate (683.) is an example of a northern insect attracted to the south. Noctua Sulidu^inis is well known as an inhabit- ant of Lapland and Sweden, but was never detected in En- ghuid until lately. Such liicts are interesting, anil ought, 1 think, to be recorded, intimately connected as they are with the geography of animals.

The Plant is Lepidium latifuUuin, Broad-leaved Dittander, which I fi)und last Au<;ust near Sandwich, by tlie road lead- in<f to the Sand-hills.

I FOUND several specimens of C. suhaptenis on the sand hills at Pegwell Bay the middle of October; they had a peculiar scent resembling that of mellow apples, I think ; some were running about, others lying quite still watching (like a cat for a mouse) apparently for flies on which the larvae feed, and

many of them were paired. Mr. Dale has taken it near Sir Geor<re Rose's plantations at Mudcford, Hants, and Mr. Streatfield at Aimer. x- -.^ /- i

I believe this insect to be the C. suhapterus ot De Ueer, but there has been so much confusion between this and the B. aptcrnso^ Fab. which is pn.hahly a Xabis, that I am somewhat doubtful about it : from Wolff's description I am prcttv cer- tain that it is the same as his R.pedcstris, but his figure is not a fTood one. The number of joints in the antenna- and their form, together with the situation of the eyes and the size of the ocellT, and la.tlv the imperfect elytra and wings, are so very different to those of Ueduvius that 1 iiave been obliged to form a new genus for our insect, but as I shall not illustrate the type of the flunily it will be as well to give the characters ot

These curious and elegant little insects are remarkable for their slender and long legs, especially the hinder pair, and for their clubbed and bent antennae, which, when alive, they carry something like ants, as represented at fig. 4.

Our insect, from its head being less elongated than in the other species, its elytra having fewer nervures, the ample under wings, and the intermediate joints of the antennae being of equal length, will form a 2nd division of the genus Neides, which name is restored because Latreille employed it in his characters published before Fabricius's Sijstcma llhijtigotoriim appeared.

We can now enumerate 3 species :

1. N. tipularius Zm«., WoIJf. tab. 20. f. 198. Inhabiting

grassy places in June and August.

2. clavipes Fab. Inhabiting grassy places : not un-

common in Norfolk.

3. elcgans Xob. Of this pretty insect, which appears

to be perfectly new, I found a pair in the North Foreland meadow, Dover, on the 14th August last. The male, which sex is figured, is a little smaller than the female, but varies from it in no other re- spect : the scutellum, perhaps, may not be quite correctly represented, tlie pin having passed through both of them. A.y)crula cijnanchica (Small Woodroof), from the same neighbourhood as the insect, is figured with it.

MiRis is distinguished by its long slender setaceous antennae, with the basal joint elongated, stout and porrected horizontally;

this is stouter in the females, aiul often very hairy. Miris does not appear to have any ocelli; the Count cle Castelnau is therefore mistaken in supposing that C/iorosorria is allied to it, for the ocelli are very distinct in my genus, and the terminal joint of the antenna: is stouter than tlm penultimate, so that it cannot belong to his family Astemmites.

This pretty insect is nearly related to Lygus of Hahn and to my genus Pantilius, from both of which it is distinguished by the shorter 2nd joint, and much longer 3rd joint of the an- tennae. The same characters also separate it from Poecilo- soma, which it otherwise very much resembles, which induced

me to locate it close to that genus ; and allhougli it seems in that situation to intersect two natural groups, yet it is difficult to find a place where it interferes less with the natural affini- ties of the allied groups.

It is remarkable that this curious and striking species should never have been figured or described ; but it does not appear to be known upon the continent, otherwise Wolff or Panzer would have figured it, and it has not yet been published in any of Hahn's fasciculi in my possession. It is probably the insect called Azijicccrn disjutr in Stephens's Catalogue, and as such I marked it in the Guide ; but as I have no means of as- certaining that they are identical, I have named it Harpocera, in allusion to the antenna', which resemble a reaping-hook or sickle, and the specific name is given in honour of Professor Burmei.ster of Berlin, whose talents are now devoted to the investigation of the Homoptera.

It does not seem to be a rare species, lor 1 have met with it in several localities; in May in Coomb-wood, Surrey, upon grass; on the foliage of oak-trees in the plantations at Arno's Grove, Southgate, in abundance ; also in a garden near Lon- don, as well as in Bagley-wood or at Shotover near Oxford in July. The following is the description of II. Burmeisteri Curf. Brit. Eni. pi. 709.

Male dark piceous, with short ochreous pubescence ; a line down the crown yellow, a broader one on the disc of the thorax not reaching the anterior margin, orange ; apex of the scutel oranjje and vellow, base of abdomen ochreous: antenniv dull pale brown, darkest at the apex: elytra fuscous-ochre a little clouded; stigma piceous, the internal margin whitish; the membrane iridescent and pale fuscous, with a red spot or line at the apex of the ceil : thighs orange, hinder piceous, except at the base ; tibia? ochreous, the tips, bristles and tarsi piceous.

Female lighter : head yellow with 2 shining oval black spots on the crown : thorax ochreous, the sides more orange, with 2 transverse oval black rings in front : abdomen entirely ociu'e- ous: hinder thighs slightly fuscous only at the apex.

The plant is Alopecurus prateusis, Meadow Fox-tail-grass.

The type of the genus Capsus is well characterised by the clavate 2nd joint of the antennae and the slenderness of those that follow: my genus Chlamydatus is distinguished from Capsus by the antennae, the 2nd joint being scarcely clavate, by the elytra wanting the membranous apex, and by the abs- ence of the wings. The species figured seems to be so inter- mediate that I doubt whether it will be necessary to retain the genus; this however will be best ascertained by dissection.

For the present, tlierefore, I shall give sections for the British species contained in my cabinet.

In the Author's and other Cabinets.

The males are narrower than the females ; and it is remark- able, that both sexes are occasionally found with perfect wings : but it seems that climate has a great influence in perfecting them ;

for out of a considerable number taken in this country, i have never found one with wings; whilst of those I took at Mont- pellier and die Pont du Gard in the South ot France, several were win^red. The apterous specimens do not differ m colour or size frSm those that are winged ; and many of d.e former were found in pairs by Mr. Dashwood, jun., of Beccles in Suffolk, on sandy banks in that neighbourhood, the middle ot

there is another extraordinary incident in the history of this handsome and conspicuous insect : some years these plant- bugs appear in myriads, whilst at other times not one can be found Many years back it was observed in excessive abun- dance on some little islands at Torquay in Devonshire, on which, 1 understood, the Tree Mallow {Lavatera arborea) erew: a plant our insect is much attached to, probably from a particular Aphis or larva that infests it. Mr. Abraham, of Exeter, informed Mr. Dale, that the Pip-rhoccris apterusss^s in such profusion on a rock in the sea off^ Teignmouth, in Devon, that it looked quite red with them; at the same time he observed there was not any vegetation for them to inhabit: and the insects being apterous, it seemed strange how they could have attained such a spot. . , , i

The transportation of these insects to an insulated rock m the sea may be easily accounted for, if we suppose a lew, or even one pair of winged specimens to have flown there, pro- bably from France ; and this would at once show the use of some individuals being furnished with wings, as well as the wisdom of Providence in supplying so tew with the means of flicrht ; since, from their astonishing increase, the country might be'overrun by them if they were able to disperse rapidly : the means, however, are always adapted to the end ; and as the Pvrrhoceris no doubt lives by sucking other insects, it may only be propagated in extraordinary numbers when some La- terpillar or Aphis threatens, by its superabundance, the total annihilation of a local species of plant; and this provision is of such common occurrence, that it is unnecessary to adduce evidence in support of the observation. .

In the vegetable kingdom, a scarcity of fruit following a >ear of abundan?e, arises from exhaustion ; but of course we must look to very different causes amongst animals ; and with regard to the Pvrrhoceris, its sudden disappearance may arise rom its conspicuous colouring, which could not lail to attract the notice of birds in an exposed situation, especially when they covered a spot so completely as to give even a red tint to the rock.

The Plant is Malva sj/lvcstris (Common Mallow).

When the Guide was printed I considered this group to be the type of Lyg;i,-u.s, but us another insect is <riven to represent Lvf^o-'us by the Continental authors (vide fol. 481.) I liave here adopted Hahn's generic name. There are 3 British species. 1. Tliynii IVulJJ', tab. 15. f. 143.— conica Gmd. ?

Blackish, coarsely punctured ; head and thorax with a ^e.^ whiiish-ochreous spots, one on the anterior margin of the thorax, with the hinder angles anil a spot on the base of the same colour: elytra nearly white, basal portion with

I have found many pairs of this pretty species in May under stones in the Isle of Portland, and in June running quickly over the sand-hills near Lowestoft: I also took a specimen in the Isle of Arran. It is said by Wolllto be attached to Thy- mus Scrpyllum (pi. 581).

2. laticeps Ctirt. Brit. Ent. pi. 597.

As Fabricius has a Lygcciis lineola I have been obliged to change the name ; and as the head is broader than in the other species, I have called it laticeps. I took a specimen under a stone at Black-gang Chine the 4th of August, and I believe Mr. Dale has met with it.

For the loan of this beautiful insect I am indebted to Mr. E. A. Johnson : it was taken amongst some cabbages in a garden at Camden Town last summer : those in the Museum I believe were from the neighbourhood of Bristol, and I understand that Mr. Hope has a British specimen.

Abdomen with a large spot above at the apex and 3 rows of spots beneath black : Legs of the same colour.

It is obvious that tliis genus differs from Lygccus Equcstris in having a rhoniboidal head, narrowed behind, and the mem- branes of the hemi-elytra are furrowed and not furnished with nervures. As they approach very near to each other, I have given the characters of both, and shall not further illustrate them in tliis work.

In the Author's and other Cabinets.

This curious insect, which is Ibund in Sweden, France, and Germany, as well as in England, is by no means common witli us.

It inhabits heathy places, and flics well in the heat of the sun. The first sjiecimen I captured was flying over heath near Lyndhurst, the end of August, and another I took the beginning of September, near Niton in the Isle of Wight. 1 believe it has been observed in Coombe Wootl, Surrey, as early as July, where the Broom abounds; and Mr. Dale in- forms me that Capt. Blomer has taken it in Devonshire.

Alydus is characterized by its thick and elongated body, (as represented by the outline figure, of the natural size at the bottom of the plate,) as well as by the spined posterior thighs. The A. calcaratus and t!ie A. lateralis seem to be the only European species described. When I was in France last summer, I took this latter species at Nismes and Marseille, and as there is room I shall here give its characters.

A. lateralis Alirciis,fasc. 8. tab. 21.

Six lines long. Pale castaneous, clothed with short yellowish pubescence : antenn;c black, basal joint with a red stripe on the inside, 2nd and 3rd red, except at the tips, tth with the base and apex reddish: hea<.l very minutely and thickly punc- tured, blackish, with the margins and three longitudinal lines, castaneous: thorax elytra and scutellum, thickly and coarsely punctured, the lirst blackish before, with a yellow line on the sides, the costa of the elytra, and the apex of the scutellum of the same colour: abdomen red above, with the base, apex and 2 or 3 dots on each side black ; the elevatetl margins blackish, with 5 or 6 large yellowish spots on each : underside and thighs mottled with black and castaneous, the hinder pair furnished with i or 5 teeth beneath : tibiif and tarsi reddish ochre, the tips black.

This species I believe is only found in the South of Europe, and is attacheil to the Spanish Broom which abounds there.

The Plant is Jasionc montana (Mountain Jasione).

As full generic descriptions are given on the other side, 1 shall proceed to transcribe the account transmitted to me with a fine series of this remarkable insect by C. J. Paget, Esq. of Great Yarmouth. " I find the Lyga^us (Chorosoma) plentifully the latter end of August and beginning of September, at some sand-hills, about a hundred yards from the sea, which extend from a small village called Caistor, three miles north of this town, for many miles along the coast, and are called Marrams. They feed upon the Aruudo arenaria ; from the great abun- dance of which, together with Eli/mits arc?iarius, Carcx are- naria. Sec, all being vulgarly confounded under the common name of Marrani-irrass, the hills take their name. This Lv- gaeus is not easily observed, resembling in colour the florets of the plant, which at this time of the year is precisely the same dry and autumnal tint as the insect. I have hitherto observed them only upon those plants which grow on the edge of the hills nearest the sea, where I have taken three, four, and five off one panicle."

At first si<jht this insect would be taken for one of that group of Mirides to which Cimex dolabratiis h'lnn. belongs; but upon examining it more carefully, it will be found to pos- sess characters so nearly similar to those of L. microptcrus, that, for the present at least, they may be included in the same genus. I shall therefore subjoin its characters, &c.

2. C. microptera Xoi. L. microjitcrus. BurrcllEiit. Trans, p. 13. pi. 1.

Green and pilose ; the elytra and abdomen smooth and naked. Antennie and legs rosy, especially the former. Elytra not half the length of the body, the inferior nervures red. Wings rudiincntarv. Abdomen very much dilated in the fe- male, the back rose-colour, with a broken black stripe down the centre.

First discovered in Norfolk by tlie late Rev. J. Burrell. It was found upon grass in chalky districts in August; I have since capturtcl it near Norwich; Mr. Paget takes it near Yarmouth, and Mr. ISamouelle at C'oombe, SiM'rey, in June.

Antuilo arenaria (Sea Reed, Marram, Sea Mat-weed). This plant now ibrms the genus Ammophila Host, a name given by Mr. Kirby to a group of Ilymenoptera in the Lin- nean Transactions ibr the year 1798.

Literatus Curt. MS S. Guide, Gen. 1127*.

In the Cabinets of Mr. Raddon and the Author.

From the characters given by M. De Laporte in his Essay on the Hemiptera, I believe our insect belongs to his Genus Atractus, and on comparing it with Coreus (pi. 17 i), the

different form of the antennjc will at once present a distinctive character. I see that M. De Laporte has placed his Coreidai and Tingidae next to each other, and there certainly is a con- siderable resemblance between Atractus and Aradus (pi. 230), yet I doubt if any real affinity exists, since their oeconomy is different and the labium and tarsi vary most materially in their structure.

The only specimen I ever saw alive of the Genus Atractus, I took in the neigiibourhood of Marseilles, and it probably is the A. cineracs of Laporte. The species figured appears to be undescribed, as it does not agree with the C. iwbilus of Fallen and Ahrens : it was beaten off thistles and nettles by Mr. Raddon about the middle of last September, on Braunton Burrows in the North of Devon, and I am indebted to him for my example. A. literatus Curt. Brit. Ent. pi. 500.

Dull ochreous, variegated with pale green, granulated or scabrous ; antennge with the tip of the 3rd joint as well as the 4th and 5th black, the apex of the latter or Gth joint whitish ; thorax with 2 oblique green ridges parallel to the sides which appear serrated, metathorax and base of abdomen black, the edges of the segments and dots on the margin black ; elytra with the nervures s.potted widi black and brown, the membranous portion transparent, a little clouded with brown, the nervures irregularly lettered with black, 4 anterior tibia^ with the base, apex and a ring round the middle dusky, tips of tarsi black.

The broken antennae composed of only four joints, will readily separate the genus Coreus from the Pentatomidtr^ whilst the dilated abdomens with elevated margins will distinguish it from other groups of the Corciche.

The different species exhibit many variations of form in the antenna?, especially of the basal joint, in the process between them which in some is Ijifid, in the outline of the thorax and abdomen, as well as in the number of lobes or teeth at the apex.

We are now able to enumerate five perfectly distinct British species; the first of which only is common.

1. C. marginatus Limu, U'oljf. tab. 3./. 20.

Found in May and September in gardens and hedges upon the dock. This insect has such rigid elytra and wiugs, that when flying they create a very harsh sound.

2. C. Scapha Fab. Nub.

Amongst other characters which this insect possesses that will distinguish it from the foregoing one, is the simple spuie between the anteima>, which in that species Is cleft. The end of last August I ibund the larva and two specimens at the base of the ClilTnear Dover, and in September another in the Isle of Wight.

3. C. (juadratus Fab.^ Jfol/f. t. l-f. (J7. veiuitor Don? 11. 375.

5. C. denticulatus Scop.^ J^^^lfT- ^' '•■./• ^'^^- hirticornis Fab.^ Panz. 92. 1 7.

Inhabits sandy places in June.

The plant figured is Crithmum maritimum (Rock Samphire), and was obtained from the celebrated Shaksjieare Cliff* near Dover; it was also growing above the spot where the insects were found.

704. ^LIA ACUMINATA.

Order Hemiptera. Fam. Pentatomidae.

Type of the Genus, Cimex acuminatus Linn. JEiIjIA. Fab., Lat., De Lap., Hahn., Curt. Cimex Linn. &c.

AntenncB inserted under the head, on each side of the rostrum and somewhat before the eyes, as long as the head and thorax, slightly clavate, pubescent, and 5 -jointed, 2 basal joints elon- gated, of equal length, 1st stouter than the 2nd which is very slender, 3rd twice as long, slender but clavate, 4th and 5th stouter, slightly compressed, a little longer than the 3rd, at least the latter joint (4).

Labrum very long and slender, linear and pointed (3). Labium just reaching the hinder coxae, 4-jointed, basal joint short and stoutish, 2nd twice as long, 3rd a little shorter than the 1st, 4th about the same length (2). Head large, conical or elongate-trig onate (I, the profile), the apex rounded and emarginate, with a winged groove beneath to receive the rostrum (1* the underside) : eyes small, globose and prominent, placed on each side of the head near to the base : ocelli 2, on the crown of the head close to the margin of the thorax, but remote from the eyes, minute. Thorax twice as broad as the head towards the base which is convex, somewhat trigonate-truncate , anterior angles prominent, posterior truncated: antepectus deeply grooved: scutel large, as long as the thorax but not broader than the head, elongate-trigonate, the apex rounded. Abdomen as broad as the base of the thorax, ovate. Elytra completely covering the body, horny, the apex mem- branous and transparent, with 2 very obscure nervures : wings as long and twice as broad (9), very delicate, with a horny costal ner- vure reaching to the middle, and several fine longitudinal nervures, 2 of them horny at the base also. Legs rather short, hinder the longest as well as the thighs, which are slightly curved in that pair : tibiae simple with short spines at the apex : tarsi short, bristly be- neath, triarticulate, basal joint the longest and stoutest, 2nd small, Zrd shorter than the \st, ovate : claws and pulvilli simple.

Acuminata Linn. Curt. Guide, Gen. 1129. 1.

Ochreous with a dull greenish tinge, thickly and strongly punc- tured : antennae ferruginous, except at the base : eyes black : a brownish line on each side of the head, and a wedge-shaped stripe down the centre punctured with black, continued down the thorax and gradually dilating, brown, excepting an ochreous ridge down the centre ; a brown stripe on each side not touch- ing the lateral margins : scutel with an ochreous line down the middle and a short one on each side : elytra pale ochreous green, excepting the costa : back of abdomen bronzed-black, excepting the margins and an ochreous line at the apex : tarsi with the joints brown at the tips.

It is now fifteen years since I illustrated several genera be- lonf^ing to this family, and called the attention of naturalists to the structure of the antennae. At that time, Fallen's little work and WolfI''s Icones with Panzer's figures were the prin- cipal aids we had to guide us through the various tribes of this intricate order. Since then M. De Laporte has given a valu- able Systematic Classification of the Hemiptera, and Hahn has published a considerable portion of his Die Wanzenarti- gen Insecten. Dr. Burmeister has also an able memoir upon the classification of the Geocorisae of Latreille in the Revue Entomologique, in which he rejects the antennae as characters to be employed in the grouping of the Aspidotae or Pentato- midae of this work. 1 am very reluctant to give up the an- tennae as generic characters in this order, having found them very useful if not infallible guides in the grouping of our Bri- tish species : it would however be idle to discuss this subject generally, until the foreign tribes, which are very numerous, are fully investigated, as it is in them that Dr. Burmeister has found the antenna) of allied species to be very inconstant.

The following table will serve to group the British Penta- tomidie :

1. Scutellum not covering the abdomen.

Tarsi biarticulate Acanthosoma pi. 28.

Tarsi triarticulate. Legs smooth.

Head elongate trijjonate ^lia TO*

Head oblong Pkntatoma 20

Legs spiny Cydnus 7t

2. Scutellum nearly covering the abdomen Tetyr A 685

and the characters of the subgenera will be found in the ac- companying tblio. I may add that Hahn has divided our Pentatomas into Tropicoris, lalla, Eysarcoris^ and Struchiuy which are distinguished by the antenna^.

The only species of yTllia inhabiting England is acuminata, which is not common. I have taken sjiecimens on long grass at Caistor Marrams near Cireat Yarmouth in June, and in August and September in cornfields near Niton in tlie Isle of Wight. In May it has been found on Ferns and the Royal Moonwort, Osmunda regalis, the plant represented in the plate.

Nothing probably has contributed more in this country to the elucidation of neglected tribes of insects, than the miscel- laneous form in which this work has been published, by which means the attention of the student has been invited to the in- vestigation of every order, and even the Lepidopterist was often induced to extend his researches beyond the beautiful objects to which he was devoted.

In May 1824- I found on studying Pentatoma that it was

656

composed of groups exliibiting good generic characters, one of whicli I proposed to name Acaiithosuma, in allusion to the spined keel on the underside; and if' it be not a remarkable circumstance, it is a proof of the negligence of the German writers, when we find Hahn giving a new name to the same group ten years after it had been established in this work, and adopted by Laporte and Burmeister. Another peculiar mark of distinction is the biarticulate tarsi, which however are re- presented distinctly triarticidate in Hahn's figure, 158.

Tiie larvge of this family have no wings, and the pupa? have rudiments only; they generally resemble the imago in colour, are very active, and emit a very disagreeable scent when touched: in every stage they live upon the juices obtained from small insects, especially caterpillars.

When the first edition was published, there were only three British species of Acanthosoma discovered, and now five are recorded.

1. hiemorrhoidalis Linn. Curt. Brit. Ent. pi. 28. c^.

By no means a rare insect, inhabiting the white-thorn flowers in June, and found in hedges and plantations in Oc- tober.

2. liturata Fab. Panz. \0. 19. length 4^ lines.

Similar to No. 1 : elytra green niari:iiiecl with red, excepting the costa ;

mcnihrane and wings hyaline, fornuT with a brown ])atch on the costa.

This and the following species seem to have been con- founded, the descri})tions and figures consequently often suit both and yet difl'er materially. Fountl in ^lay in Birch and Coomb-woods, and in August on larch trees, in a plantation on Shirley common.

3. j)icta Liiin. Cab. pictipennis Nevo. lituratus Wul.t. 2. f. J 4. Beautiful green : hinder angles of thorax and coriaceous portion of elytra hright red, excepting the costa : membrane hyaline, with a wavy fuscous striga and a brown dot between it and the elytron : wings fuscous, tips hvaline: abdomen black above, margin and apex green : length I] lines.

Never having seen this species, I cannot be certain that it

belongs to this geiuis : the spine, if correctly rejiresentctl by

Wolfl", is very difl'erent to that oi Acanthosumrj. Mr. Davis

informed me that he took a specimen the 31st Aug. on a larch

tree in a plantation on Shirley connnon, anil that he found

at the same time all the other species.

Few orders present a greater variety of outline or more beautiful sculpture than the European Hemiptera, and even the Coleoptera and Lepidoptera cannot exceed many of the Indian and South American species in the brilliancy and powerful opposition of their colours. With such attractions, therefore, it is not a little surpri- sing that in this country they should have been totally disregarded, and whilst on the one hand we have been assisted by IVIarsham's Coleoptera, and on the other by Haworth's Lepidoptera, we have no guide to the Hemiptera, except in the rare and incomplete works of our continental neighbours. Such were my remarks in May, 1824', and as the same are still applicable, I can only refer to M. DeLaporte's Monograph, an excellent memoir by Dr. Burmeister in the Revue Entomologique, and to Hahn, who has divided Pen- tatoma into the following genera, distinguished apparently by the

657

neuration of the membrane and l)y the antennae, which however are

subject to iTieat variation.

SciocoRis Fall. Fourth and fifth joints the longest. 22. umbrina Wolf.

P. margincguttata. Mr. Paget gave me a specimen which he found in a garden at Great Yarmouth upon Ruscus aculeatus (pi. 489.).

P. ccerulea flies well in the sunshine, and is to be met with on the leaves of plants in the heat of the day. I have taken it in June near Ambleside ; July, Coombe-wood ; September, on heath near Linton, Devon ; and at Niton on the Wormwood.

In the cabinet of the Zoological Society is a species from Dr. Leach, bearing the name of P. picta : it agrees tolerably well with the Fabrician (lescription, but I believe that Dr. L. was not satisfied of its authenticity as a British specimen.

The plant is Erysimum chciranthoidcs, Treacle Worm-seed.

Pentatoma Lat.

AntenncE exserted, inserted under the margin of the head before

the eyes, nearly filiform, or slightly clavate, longer than the head,

5 -jointed, the 1st and sometimes the 2nd joints very short, the

3 following long, nearly of equal length, and more robust (fig. 4) .

Head obtuse, immersed quite up to the eyes in the thorax. Clypeus with a notch in the centre of the margin. Thorax narrowed ante- teriorly, with the angles rounded. Abdomen ovate, somewhat orbi- cular, depressed, margined. Scutellum large, not covering the wings or elytra. Elytra coriaceous, membranaceous at the apex, crossing each other horizontally. Tibiae robust, spinulose, not notched. Tarsi 3-jointed, middle joint minute (6 afore leg).

Dark blue, slightly inclining to green and purple, lateral margins of thorax and external margin of elytra pale straw-colour : mar- gin of abdomen alternately black and straw-colour. Head, thorax and scutellum coarsely punctured ; elytra more thickly and minutely punctured. In the Cabinets of the British Museum and Mr. Stephens.

Fabricius established this group as a genus in his Systema Rhyngotorum, but Latreille has only made it a principal divi- sion of his genus Pentatoma. Dr. Leach by some accident has stated in his characters of the genus Cydnus^ that the 2nd

joint of the antenna? is longer than tlie 3rd ; an error into which lie was probably led by his having examined Pentatoma Oleracca, which he gave as the type of the genus Cjjdnus, but which in reality belongs to the 3rd division (C.) o{ Pentatoma (vide folio 20). Tlie relative proportions of the joints of the anternia?]are most important characters here ; and it so happens that the 2nd joint is never longer, but generally shorter than the 3rd ; and it is not so in Pentatoma^ as will be seen by re- ferring to plate 20, except in division A, which comes nearest to Cijdnus in this respect ; and there it arises from the 3rd joint being the longest of all, which is not the case in Ci/dnus : the absence of the notch in the anterior tibiae, and all the legs being spined, are other very essential characters.

There are 7 or 8 British species of this genus: viz. 1. C. f)i- color L. ; 2. viorio L ; 3. marginatus ? 4. biguttatiis L. ; 5. albo-marghiatus F. ; 6. diibius Scop. ; and a species in the cabinet of Mr. Stephens, larger than C. morio, but closely allied to it. The habits of these insects are like those of the kindred genera : several of the species are common. They are found upon plants in June, and frequently are to be seen in gravel-pits, into which they have accidentally fallen. Of the species figured I have seen but 2 specimens ; one in the British' JVIuseum, from w hich the drawing was made, the t)thcr (which is of a duller colour) is in Mr. Stephens's cabinet.

Fabricius in his synonyms lo Cj/dtnis niorio, includes figure 1 1 of the 57th table of Schaeffer's Iconcs, which is a blue in- sect with a pale margin, whereas, to agree with his description it ought to be entirely black, with the exception of tlie rufous tarsi. There can be little doubt but this figure represents the C. duhius of Scopoli, and as such it is named by Panzer in his Sj/stt'/natic Nomenclature of Scha^ft'cr's Icones, page 75.

AntenncB as long as the head and thorax, inserted under but re- mote from the eyes and close to the anterior margin of the pectus ; clavate and 5 -jointed, basal joint elongate and clavate, 3 following scarcely so long, 2nd and 3rd slender, 4th and 5th stout and pubescent, the latter twice as long as the 4th (4). Labrum long slender and attenuated, transversely sulcated (3). Labium long horny hoUow and 4-jointed, basal joint the stout- est, oblong, 2nd twice as long but slenderer, 3rd shorter than the 1st, 4th about the same length, a little attenuated, rounded and hairy at the apex (2*). Rostrum long, received into a groove beneath the head, and reaching to the hinder coxa (2). Head large, trigonate-ovate, the sides sharp, immersed to the Eyes, which are small, lateral, prominent and sub- reniform : ocelli 2, placed near the base of the head, remote from the eyes (1* the head in profile). Thorax transverse, subellij)tic, being truncated and narrowed before and behind, the sides forming 2 rounded angles : scutellum very large, as broad as the thorax, semi- ovate, convex, not covering the margins of the abdomen, but extend- ing to the apex. Elytra and wings concealed beneath the scutel, the former as long as the body, with a small portion of the base cori- aceous, the remainder dilated rounded and membranous, with nu- merous faint nervures at the apex (9) .- the latter rather shorter, but ample, with several nervures radiating from the base (*). Abdomen nearly orbicular, the margins thin. Legs rather short, hinder thighs the longest : tibiae with minute spines, hinder the longest and spiny only inside : tarsi equal, short and triarticulate, pubescent beneath, basal joint clavate, 2nd very short somewhat obovate, Brd as long as the 1st and stouter : claws simple, pulvilli small (6, afore leg).

FuLiGiNosA Lin7i. Curt. Guide, Gen. 1134. 4.

Piceous, thickly and minutely punctured, clothed with short coarse hairs ; antennae brown Mdth the basal joint as long as the 5th, 3rd rather the shortest ; head with 2 furrows down the front : thorax with a notch on each side towards the base, the hinder half ochreous spotted with brown, with a narrow ochre- ous line down the centre, an impression across the middle join- ing a deep channel down each side, disjointed at the centre, where there is a little fovea ; scutel ochreous, with brown punc- tures and irregular marks, leaving a light line down the middle, which divides a triangular piceous spot at the base, and an orbi- cular dead black one towards the apex, on each side at the base is a black streak and a similar one at the centre ; sides of the abdomen black spotted with ochre ; coxae, trochanters and tarsi dull ochreous, the latter inclining to brown.

The disagreeable appellation which has been given to this tribe of insects, associated as it is with the House-bug, renders them by no means favourites with most of us; nevertheless they

are well deserving the attention of the naturalist; their oeco- nomy is interesting, their structure curious, and their colours in many of the exotic species are not surpassed by the most splendid Butterflies.

In M. De Laporte's Essay, the few insects included by us under Tetyra are divided into many genera, as well as by 11 ahn, the essential characters of which I shall subjoin.

I. Legs very spini/. A. Antennae inserted under the eyes.

* 2nd joint half as long as the Srd. Tetyua Fab. Thyreocoris Sclir.

1. Scarabaeoides Linn. JyoIJf'. tab. I.f. 4.

** 2nd joint of antcnncc longer than the third. Odontoscelis DeLap. Ursocoris Ilahn.

3. fulvicornis Faun. Frauf. Stcph. Sj/st. Cat. Does it be- loiiff to this section?

4. fuliginosa Li7in. Curt. Brit. Ent. pi. 685.

I swept a pair of this rare insect off short grass and He- dypnois on the sand-hills near Sanihvich, the 9th August ; Mr. Skrimshire took it once on the sand-hills at Burnham in Norfolk, and Mr. Butcher of Lowestoft gave me a specimen which he captured on the sands to the north of that town.

II. Legs slightly spiny: antenna; icith the 27id and Srd joints of

equal length. Bellocoris Hahn. Eurygaster DeLap.

5. picta Fab. Hahn. pi. 4-5. yi 140.

6. maura Linn. Hahn.pl. iS.f. 139. obliqua Guide, var. Near Bristol, Mr. Millard ; June, IVIonk's Wood, Mr. Ba-

bington ; October, in a garden at Islington, jSIr. A. Cooper.

III. Legs almost smooth : antenna inserted not quite under the

eyes: 2nd joint a little shorter than the 3rd. PoDOPs DeLap.

2. inuncta Fab. Panz. 36. 24.

June, sandy places, Bexley ; August, on grass, near Dover.

B. AntenntE inserted before the eyes ; 2nd joint twice as

long as the 3rd.

7. lineata Linn. nigroliueata Fab. Don. 14. 473.

One, if not more specimens, were found several years since by Dr. Lindley, in a nursery-ground at Catton in Norfolk: as it is a common insect in France, it might have been imported with plants. It is attached to Eldcr-Howers, but I found it in abundance in June, near Toulouse, on Heraclcum laciniatum.

The Plant is Tamarix gallica, French Tamarisk.

We must content ourselves with referring to Kirby and Spence's Introduction to Entomology and to Latreille's His- toire Natiirelle (tome 14.) tor tlie history and various amusing

nnc-cdotes of the Flea, aiul for figures of the hirva and pupa, to Shaw's Naturalist's Mlscelhniy (plate 178), and shall proceed to explain the dissections at the bottom of our plate.

A. Rejiresents the head of Pulcx Canis in profile, with the trophi in a natural position. B. The tropin seen from above. C. The same from beneath, showing the lip or membrane connecting the base of the labial palpi. 1). One of the niaxilliv, and a palpus attached to it. E. The trophi in profile, with the niaxilhe and their palpi removed to show the origin of the other organs. 8. The tarsus belonging to a fore leg.

No insect has been more repeatedly examined, or oftener figuretl than the Flea; yet so incorrectly has it been repre- sented, that most of tlie figures tend only to mislead the in- (juirer : the consequence of which (combined with the difficulty of examining the mouth) has been, that the o])inions enter- tained by authors with regard to its affinities are very un- settled. Having had the good fortune some years since to discover the tongue (which had never been noticed or figured until the publication of the Iiitrudtiction to Kntomol(p^xj\ I have been induced to make further investigations, the result of which has produced a view of the subject different to that which has hitherto been held.

The cavity behind the eye, which appears to be partly closed by a small lobe that may be distinctly seen to rise and fall, I am disposed to believe is an organ of resjiiration rather than the analogue of the antenna as suspected by my friend INIons. Latreille; and the absence of spiracula^ down the sides of the abdomen strengthens my opinion. Little as we know of the uses of the antenna' beyond the sense of touch, it is impossible to say that the maxillary palpi may not perform in this order the office of antenna*, and that the orifice behind the eye may not be also ailapted to hearing.

We believe SipJioiuiptcra will be found comiected with the last family of the Homoptcra, and the first of the Diptcra, the absence of wings as well as the structure of the rostrulum being analogous to the former; the habit ot" its larva, its economy, metamorjihosis, and the trojihi being very similar to the latter.

As there is no doubt but all our wild (juailrupeds have a distinct species of Pulcx belonging to each, we may expect to add many to those already discovered. Our species, the largest I have seen, like the animal it inhabits, has a minute eye, which is oblong and of a ferruginous colour: the specimen figured was taken the latter end of May in Hattersea Fields by Dr. Leach, and Mr. Saiuouelle having no doubt but it is the same as some taken by Mr. \\'eatherhead off a ]Mole in June, I have named it after that animal.

The plant figured is Aster Tripolium, var. /3. (Sea Starwort), flowers without ray.

It is now upwards of six years since I illustrated the genus Pulex (vol. 3. ll*.), and by repeated examinations made bv mv friends and myself, I lind it necessary to divide the Piilices into two genera. I am the more desirous to publish this ge- nus that the structure of the antennce may be made known to the student, and consequently a better idea given him of the affinities of this remarkable little Order.

It is necessary to observe, that the P. TalpcpRguved in pi. lid-. does not belong to the genus Pulex but to Ceratophyllus, and my friend Mr. Ilaliday having discovered the antennae of Pulex Canis, 1 have copied it from his drawing into the present plate (fig. l.d.). As this discovery confirms the opinion of Mons. Latreille, the 4<th paragraph on the second page of the 1 14th folio should be erased. jNIr. Haliday in his letter to me observes, " In investigating the analogy between Cordijla and Mijcctuphila nigra on the one hand and Pulex on the other, I was led to the discovery of the antennic of the latter genus; they are situate nearly as in Ccratophijllus, but entirely covered by the frontal plate, are shorter than in it, very flat and 2-jointed ; the first joint has a bristle near its internal apex, and the other is crowned with spines such as distinguish the incisures of the trunk."

I believe the following British species belong to my genus Ceratophyllus.

1. C. Talpse Curt. Brit. Knt. pi. 114. $ .

Antennae elongate-ovate, pilose 10-jointed, basal joint ovate- truncate, the remainder forming rings, (B. 1 c. front view of head with the palpi and antennae, as well as one of the latter detached and more magnified).

Mr. C. A. Johnson gave me a specimen found on a Hat, which appears to be the same as that from the Mole, and from this animal I have a smaller species which seems to be very different from C. Talpa.
