Male. Head, thorax, and scutellnm honey-yellow, 

 and almost immaculate. Elytra shining white, marked 

 with three black, irregular, incomplete and disjointed 

 fasciae. The middle fascia suffused with warm sienna-

 black. Vertex somewhat convex, with a faint medial 

 furrow.

 the non-dentate and convex head of the male, and by 

 the presence of the above medial line. 



The female is described as pale yellow, more or less 

 mottled on the vertex. Elytra finely punctured, with 

 small black points on the suture. ISlot uncommon at 

 St. Alban's, where it infested the strawberry plants. 

 June. 



Size, 0*16 inch, or 4*0 millimetres. 



N.B. — The appearance of this insect is so very like 

 that of A. alhifrons that its distinctive character 

 (chiefly consisting of colour) may be thought hardly 

 sufficient for separation.
