Very large. Wholly green. Transparent, showing 
the embryos within, and thus giving a mottled appear- 
ance to the insect. Byes bright red. Frontal tuber- 
cles large and somewhat gibbous. The first antennae 
joint thick and long. The other joints taper, and 
black at their articulations. Cornicles black at their 
tips, well developed and vasiform, that is, thin at their 
origin, dilated in their middle, and expanded at their 
mouths, like a trumpet. Tail very large and yellow. 
Rostrum reaches rather beyond the second coxae. 
Whole body slightly pilose. The under side is wholly 
green, but rather browner than the upper side. Tibial 
points brown, tarsi black, other parts of the legs 
green. 
In many respects fhis Aphis answers to Koch’s 
description of his Bhopalosijohum staphylece, which affects 
the bladder-nut of our shrubberies, Staphylea pinnata. 
Still, as the tail is not small, nor the nectaries tipped
