low ; the wing-brands and the veins are brown ; the rib-vein 

 begins to widen into the brand at about half the length of the 

 wing ; the brand is rather long, the angle which it forms near its 

 tip is very obtuse, and it thence slopes gradually away ; the fourth 

 vein is straight; the third vein is sometimes very indistinct or 

 almost obsolete along its whole length ; the second vein is slightly 

 curved ; the first is straight, and is near to the second at the base, 

 but remote at the tip. 



The oviparous wingless female. This appears towards the end 

 of the autumn, and is larger than the viviparous female : the ab- 

 domen is at least thrice the breadth of the head or of the fore- 

 chest : the body is light brown and has a very slight metallic 

 tinge : the head and the fore-chest are somewhat darker than the 

 rest of the body : there are three lines of black dots and two large 

 transverse black velvet-like spots on each side of the abdomen : 

 the feelers are yellow, black towards their tips, and less than one- 

 third of the length of the body ; the fifth joint is much longer 

 than the fourth joint ; the sixth is much less than half the length 

 of the fifth : the mouth is black, dull yellow towards the base, 

 and reaches the hind-hips, and is much less than half the length 

 of the body : the legs are yellow ; the thighs are darker towards 

 their tips ; the hips, the knees, and the tips of the shanks are 

 black. The eggs as usual are large, and thickly enveloped in a 

 glutinous matter ; they are laid in November. 



1st var. The body is dark brown : the tips of the joints of the 

 feelers are black : the legs are darker and much longer than those 

 of the viviparous female ; the base only of the shanks is yellow. 



Length of the body 1 J-3 lines ; of the wings 2f lines.

The viviparous wingless female. When young it is dull red, 

 nearly linear, rather flat, and is covered with thick hairs : the 

 head is broad : the eyes are dark brown : the limbs are dirty 

 white : the feelers are hairy, slightly setaceous, shorter than the 

 body ; their tips are brown : the mouth has also a brown tip and 

 is nearly as long as the body : the nectaries are hardly visible : 

 the legs are hairy, long and stout. When full-grown it is pale 

 red, oval, convex, plump, hairy, and thickly covered with white 

 powder : the segments are all distinct, and of nearly equal length : 

 there is a row of black velvet-like spots along each side of the 

 back ; they become fainter as they retreat from the head, and dis-
