Antennm very long, more than twice the length of the 
body. The joints tipped with brown. Two thoracic 
lobes and the scutellum rich sienna-brown. Two 
broad crossbars on the abdomen brown. Cornicles 
very stout. Legs yellow. Wings ample. Cubitus, 
stigma, and veins either green or pale brown. Tail

This pretty insect is by no means common. It was 
first taken by Mr. Walker in October, 1847, and by him 
described. It feeds onAcerpseudoplatanus, and, like the 
rest of the genus, is very active and difficult to secure. 
The winged specimen figured was sent to me by Mr. 
Walker, and taken late in August, near Walthamstow.
