262 ENTOMOLOGICAL NEWS. [June, ’06 
ends only, tarsi black; style green to blackish, short and ensiform; the 
honey tubes are long and cylindrical, green at the base and shading 
into dusky at the ends, or all dusky, their peculiar form as described 
for alate female below; beak pale green, dusky at tip, barely reaching 
3d coxae. 
Measurements about as follows: body, 1.40 mm.; style, .11mm.; honey 
tubes, .27mm.; antenna, .0mm.; joints III, .17; IV, .13; V, .11; VI, 
11; VII, .18mm., respectively. 
Alate viviparous.— °. 
General color green, head dusky to black, eyes bright red and very 
prominent, prothorax green with dusky to black transverse band; 
mesothorax blackish upon central portion, lateral margins green; ab- 
domen green; wings hyaline with distinct, rather conspicuous dark 
veins, the base green. ‘The abdomen and the head are sometimes mot- 
tled with light orange; mesosternum black; the beak is a very light 
green, dusky at the end. Along each side of the green abdomen above 
there often are 4 or 5 small dusky spots which do not show in all speci- 
mens; style ensiform and .11 mm. long. Antennae about 1.06 mm. long, 
green at base and blackish beyond the middle of joint 3; 3d joint 
with about 12 sensoria, 4th with about 8, 5th with one large sensorium 
near the distal end and 2 or 3 along the middle portion; 6th, at the 
joining of the 7th., with six small and one large sensoria; joints about 
as follows: III, .27; IV, .17; V, .15; VI, .13; VII, .22 mm. The femora 
are dusky at outer end or entirely light green, tibiae dusky to black at 
distal ends, tarsi black, cornicles dusky greenish yellow throughout, 
cylindrical. 
Length of body 1.30 mm.; wing, 2.13 mm.; stigma .60 mm.; narrow 
and parallel-sided; cauda .11 mm. dusky brown in color. 
The very broad head and very prominent compound eyes are 
striking peculiarities in this species. The cornicles which would 
be classed as cylindrical are somewhat constricted immediately 
back of the slight flange, then comes a slight enlargment from 
which the cornicle very gradually diminishes in diameter to the 
base. 
During my study of this insect as a student in entomology 
at the Colorado Agricultural College during the winter and 
spring of 1906 and 7, I did not find it upon any plants but the 
chrysanthemums. It seems to be strictly a greenhouse species 
at Fort Collins, as neither Prof, Gillette nor any of his assis- 
tants have found it upon out of door plants.
