It is pale-green, with seven oblique whitish stripes 
on each side bordered anteriorly with red or yellow. 
The head is smaller than in others of the genus, the 
body more attenuated in front, and there is a granu- 
lar protuberance over the anus*. 
The rarest of the three, being foimd only occa- 
sionally ; but it seems to be pretty generally distri- 
buted throughout England. It occurs near London 
more frequently than in most other places ; also 
near Exeter, York, &c. It does not seem to be a 
Scotch insect.
