Notice must be taken also of the setose character of the 
larv^.

Forster found it feeding also on Nicotiana rustica> 
Kaltenbach rather differently describes this Aphis as 
marbled with dark and light green, and having antennae 
shorter than the body. 
There is no doubt of the fact that these last organs 
increase in length, within certain limits, according to 
the age of the individual. 
Many specimens of this insect were obligingly sent 
to me by Miss Salvin from Hawksfold, near Fernhurst, 
Sussex.
