BRITISH APHIDES. 
Pu^a. 
Long oval, pointed behind. Pale yellow. Head, 
wing-cases, and dorsum^ slightly clouded with grey. 
Eyes red. First joints of the antennse gibbous. The 
whole insect is hirsute. 
Winged viviparous female. 
Inches. Millimetres. 
Expanse of wings 0*290 7*35 
Size of body 0*085x0*035 2*14x0*88 
Length of antennse 0*140 3*53 
5, cornicles 0*015 0*38 
Bright yellow. Head very pale brown. First joints 
of the antennse pale and gibbous, like the pupa. 
Other joints brown. Ocelli conspicuous with a brown 
mark on the occiput, which becomes broader on the 
prothorax. Three lobes of the thorax and the scutellum, 
fine brown. Abdomen rather wrinkled, with four 
transverse stripes which increase in breadth as they 
approach the cauda. These are followed by two 
much broader patches above the cornicles. Cornicles 
very thin, yellow, straight. Legs yellow, with brown 
femora points, tibise, and tarsi. Tail yellow. Wings 
moderately long. Insertions and cubitus pale yellow. 
Stigma greyish. Veins brown. This prettily marked 
insect was numerous towards the middle of July, at 
Haslemere, on the common figroot, Scrophularia sco~ 
rodonia. The pupae were mixed with the winged forms, 
but at that time I could not find a single apterous 
female. 
Authors have not noticed, I believe, that the Scro- 
plmlaria is infested by Aphides. Ho such record is 
made by Passerini in his ^ Flora degli Afidi.’
