May be known from any of the other genera with hook- 
like nerve to the wing cell, except Psallus, by its pale 
fragile deciduous pubescence ; from Psallus it may be 
known by the considerably incrassated, densely pilose 
second joint of the antennz, which is more thickened in the 
¢than in the ¢. We have only two British species of the 
fourteen recorded by Dr. Puton. 
(2) 1. Larger, more convex, male with the second 
antennal joint incrassated, fusiform, about 
as long as the width of the head, female, 
vertex nearly twice as wide as the eye . MALI. 
(1) 2. Smaller, less convex, male, second antennal 
joint less incrassated, parallel-sided, much 
longer than the width of the head, female, 
vertex, not nearly twice the width of the eye MAGNICORNIS. 
A. mali, Mey.—Blackish-brown, tending to reddish in 
some examples, shghtly shining, clothed with black hairs,

the third and fourth joints thin and pale, fourth about four- 
fifths as long as the third, second very much incrassated, 
fusiform, and densely clothed with black hairs, first sub- 
triangular, vertex much wider than the eye in the 4, nearly 
twice its width in the 2 ; pronotum with the sides rounded,
