more than half that. The color of all forms is shining black, the lighter 

 portions of the antenna? and legs shown in the illustration being pale 

 yellow. The heinelytra are ornamented with rather sparse scale-like 

 tufts of yellow hair, arranged as in the illustration. These are readily 

 detached, and hence apt to be wanting in old dried material. The 

 dimorphic brachypterous or wingless female of uhleri is shown at a, 

 the winged female at b, and the male at c. The true male, as identified 

 by Messrs. Uhler and Heidemann and verified by specimens captured 

 in coitu, is much narrower and shorter than the full-winged female, and 

 the hemlytra are subparallel, not roundly oval as in the female. The 

 front and middle femora are yellow, whereas the female has the femora 

 with only the knees yellow or dull whitish.
