Aphrophora annulata Ball. Proc. la. Acad. Sci., vi, 216, 1898. 



Color ochraceous, the elytra obliquely banded with deep chest- 

 nut; resembling saratogensis, from which it should be distin- 

 guished readily, however, by its lighter coloring, more heavily 

 marked elytra, the absence of the light median stripe on the vertex 

 and pronotum, and by the greater inflation of the front. Length 

 loiimm.; width 3.5-4 mm. 



Vertex, length on middle scarcely greater than at eye, disc 

 slightly depressed between the median bluntly carinate elevation 

 and the straight anterior margin between the eyes and tylus ; 

 tylus, length equal to one-half width and equal to length of vertex 

 behind it, slightly produced and rounded before ; front, disc 

 strongly convex, moderately inflated and slightly produced, form- 

 ing a large acute angle with vertex ; pronotum, disc transversely, 

 strongly depressed in anterior third, posteriorly elevated and 

 broadly rounded, carina weak, lateral margins slightly divergent, 

 posterior margin narrowly emarginate ; scutellum deeply, centrally 

 depressed ; elytra with costal margins reflexed anteriorly, the apex 

 roundingly, acutely angulate. 



Genitalia: Female py gofers convex, scarcely longer than wide, 

 outer margins diverging to middle, then abruptly cut off to form a 

 rounded obtuse angle, exceeded by narrow ovipositor one-third 

 their length, clothed with a coarse, golden pubescence. Male, last 

 ventral segment convex, length one-half basal width, narrowing 

 apically ; plates broad at base, outer margins flaring, inner margin 

 cut off obliquely nearly to base, leaving two widely divergent, 

 black-tipped processes. 



Color : Ochraceous ; median carina on vertex bordered with 

 chestnut; pronotum pale, a broadening oblique stripe, sometimes 

 obscure, from just before middle on either side of carina to basal 

 angles of scutellum, deep chestnut ; margins of scutellum pale ; 

 elytra with an oblique band from scutellum broadening to middle 

 on costal margins, and another before claval apex, deep chestnut. 



Distribution: Specimens have been examined from New 

 Hampshire, North Carolina, Colorado, Utah, and California.
