178 BRITISH APHIDES. 



This largo Aphis recalls, chiefly by the wing-vein- 

 ing, a Schizoneura, but the form of the body better 

 accords with a Lachnus. Mao-. — 6 diam. 



Schizonecroides Scuddeki, Buckton. Plate CXXXIII, 



fig. 5. 



Body long and oval. Eyes large. Thorax broadly 

 banded with pigment. Abdomen distinctly ringed 

 and barred with spots and fasciae very like a modern 

 Aphis. Length to breadth as 1 to 0*3. Fore wing 

 very broad, with a very indistinct stigma. Cubitus far 

 removed from the costal margin. Stigmatic cell very 

 large. Cubital vein ouce forked, and followed by two 

 oblique veins, the second of which is much, curved. 

 An under wing still remains with this specimen, but it 

 is much folded. Neither antennas nor legs are to be 

 seen in the matrix. The wing-veining is unusual, but 

 possibly the insect may be referred for comparison to 

 Schizoneura ulmi. Mag. = 12 diam. 



Pterostigma recurvum, Buckton. Plate CXXXIII, 



fig. 6. 



The body of this insect has some resemblance to 

 the last insect, but it is too much crushed for a 

 decision as to character. The abdomen is ornamented 

 by six square patches of colour. The eyes are rather 

 large. The antennas are fragmentary, but show two 

 basal and the remains of two other joints. A ros- 

 trum with three joints protrudes from one side of the 

 bead. The wing is very long and pointed, with a 

 remarkably attenuated stigma like that of Golopha 

 ulmicola, Monell. If the stigmatic vein is not dis- 

 placed by pressure, it is remarkable. Probably the 

 cubital vein had one if not two furcations. Recalls 

 Lachnus longistigma of Monell. Mag. = 8 diam.
