BElTTSH APHIDES. 
Larger tLan tlie larva. Very smooth and shining. 
Entirely fine reddish fawn colour. Tail, femora, and 
wing-insertions fine yellow. Antenna, tibise, tarsi, 
and cornicles black. Cubitus and stigma pale. Veins 
very delicate. The sides of the insect are covered 
slightly with a greyish bloom. 
Feeding on the corn-cockle or campion, Agrostemma 
githago, in June, at Haslemere. 
Although this Aphis does not entirely agree with 
Koch’s description, I believe the two insects to be 
identical. Notwithstanding Kaltenbach’s suggestion 
that 8. cichorii is A. serratulcB of LinnoBus, I must 
express doubts as to the fact.
