 5875. n. 50. 



Feeds on the aphides ribis, or plant-lode, that infefts the red 

 currant. 



Thisinfea agrees with the Linmean fpecific defcription of Ribefcii; 

 yet we muftobferve, that the extreme fegment of the abdomen being 

 yellow, feems to form a fifth, or additional yellow band, to the four, 

 defcribed by that author and by Fabricius.
