 very hairy, four-jointed, 0.53 mm. long (nearly as long as in adult), with 

 an apical nail-like process on last article. The comparative lengths of the 

 articles are as follows: I 0.05 mm., II 0.09 mm.. Ill 0.19 mm., IV 0.19 mm. 

 The sensoria are distributed as follows: I and II none, III one large circular

This aphid was first taken at Santa Paula, Calif., Nov. 1, 1908, where 

 it occured in considerable numbers on the roots of Amaranthus retroHexus. 

 At Claremont it occurs in great numbers on the roots of Solanum douglasii. 

 For several months I was unable to obtain winged specimens, which led me 

 to place it in the genus Tychea. Late in January were obtained the winged 

 form which showed it to belong to the genus Pemphigus.
