  Dr. 
  Fitch 
  here 
  republishes 
  

   his 
  description 
  of 
  the 
  winged 
  form, 
  first 
  published 
  in 
  1857. 
  

   The 
  description 
  contains 
  some 
  observations 
  not 
  yet 
  repeated 
  by 
  

   others. 
  For 
  example, 
  he 
  says: 
  "Stationary 
  on 
  leaves, 
  usually 
  

   toward 
  their 
  ends, 
  puncturing 
  them 
  and 
  sucking 
  their 
  juices: 
  a 
  very 
  

   small 
  black 
  fly, 
  .08 
  long 
  to 
  tip 
  of 
  abdomen 
  and 
  .12 
  to 
  the 
  end 
  of 
  its 
  

   wings, 
  which 
  are 
  dusky 
  grey, 
  abdomen 
  dusky 
  red, 
  and 
  slightly 
  

   covered 
  witli 
  fine 
  cottonv 
  down. 
  The 
  females 
  do 
  not
