Food-plant. Pinus sp. (? Aleppo Pine). 



Described from a single alate female and many apterae and Mr. Willcocks' colour 

 notes from hving specimens. It is a very marked species, which I cannot place in 

 any described Lachnid genus, owing to its long, blunt proboscis, greatly enlarged 

 hind coxae and wing venation. It feeds on the needles of a pine, which Mr. Willcocks 

 says may be the Aleppo pine. It is a shy insect and can run in a very active manner.
