 2875. n. 50. 



Feeds on the aphides ribis, or plant-loufe, that infefts the red 

 currant. 



This infecl agrees with the Linneean fpecific defcription of Ribefeii ; 

 yet we miift obferve, that the extreme fegment of the abdomen being 

 yellow, feems to form a fifth, or additional yellow band, to the four, 

 defcribed by that author and by Fabricius.
