38 BHODITES EGLANTEELE. 



ploughshare-shaped apical ventral segment and the 

 longitudinal furrow on the mesopleurse being two 

 points in which it differs from all the other genera. 



Hololexis, Foerster, merely differs from Bhodites in 

 having the radial cellule elongate in opposition to the 

 short and broad area of Bhodites, eglanterise being a 

 typical form of it. 



A. Radial cellule elongate; the basal abscissa of the 

 radius curved, not angled; cubitus obsolete.

 complete, narrow. 



The (J has the abdomen with more black than red. 



Length 2*5 — 3'5 mm. 



Easily known by the elongated radial cellule, and 

 by the curved basal abscissa of the radius. 



Gall. — Pea- shaped, with a diameter of from 3 to 5 

 mm. ; smooth, or more seldom beset with little 

 tubercles; green, frequently with reddish cheeks, or 

 more rarely reddish entirely; sometimes greenish-
