and stout, the hind tibiae measuring .50; length of body to base of 

 cauda 1.40. 



Described from many examples taken on Shcpherdia ar gen- 

 tea at Fort Collins, Colo., during the year 1915, by L. C. Bragg. 

 See Plate XXIV, figures I, 2, 3 and 4. 



Apterous Fundatrigcne. General color a pale yellowish green to 

 greenish yellow with transverse dashes of darker green, much as in the 

 oviparous form ; antennas, legs, cornicles and cauda concolorous with 

 the body, except that the tarsi and the last segment and spur of the 

 antennae are blackish ; eyes dark red ; capitate hairs as in the fundatrix 

 and the egg-layer; body, 1.40 by .80; antenna, .75; cornicle, .43; hind 

 tibiae, .56; antenna 5-jointed, ordinarily, with the segments measuring 

 about as follows: III (III and IV in one), .28; IV, .14; V, .08; spur, 

 .16. In occasional examples a swelling near the middle undoubtedly 

 indicates the location of a former joint between the segments, and in 

 such examples the basal portion (old third joint) is a little longer than 

 the distal portion, the ratio being about as 7 to 5. See Plate XXIV, 

 figure 5.
