The winged Morn measures from 0.65 to 0.80 in length to the tip of its abdomen 
and the expanded Wings are 1.70 to 2.20 across, the females being larger than the 
males. It is of a pale ochre yellow color, hairy above, the abdomen on its under side 
covered with scales of a whitish and somewhat silvery appearame, with a row of 
tawny spots in the middle in the female; a band in front between the eyes, two dote 
on the neck and the inner edge of the shoulder covers tawny; eyes spotted with 
black; antennae three-fourths the length of the body, tawny yellow, with two rows 
of teeth along their inner sides, which are short in the female and in the male long 
and comb-like. Fore wings long and narrow, somewhat pointed at their ends, nankin 
yellow freckled with tawny yellow atoms, and with the veins and a ring surrounding 
each of the spots tawny yellow; spots mostly round or oval, white and somewhat 
transparent, arranged in three rows extending obliquely across the wings parallel with 
the hind margin, each row having one spot between each of the veins, the number 
being eight in the two hindmost rows and six in the forward one; the third spot i> 
the middle row the largest; the forward row situated half way between the middle 
one and the base, with two additional spots behind and two forward of it, and a large 
irregular spot upon the inner margin at its base; under side similarly colored and 
marked. Hind wings whitish, thin and semitransparent, without spots. The spiral 
tongue is almost as long as the antennae. The feelers project horizontally forward 
and are clothed with hairs similar to those upon the head, their apical joint being 
covered with scales only. 
On the under surface of the leaves, sucking their juices; small flatfish pale yel¬ 
low lice, their antenuse with black rings. 
The Little Hickory Aphis. Aphis Caryella. 
The extensive genus Aphis , several species of which we have 
had occasion to treat of in the preceding pages, is well character¬ 
ised by having three oblique veins crossing the disk of the fore 
wings, the third one of which is twice forked, and seven-jointed 
antennae. The spec : es, however, which are embraced in thi 
genus admit of being divided into smaller groups. This has been 
shown in a.very able manner by M. Kaltenbach, whose arrange- 
nn nt is reproduced by M. Amyot in his valuable review of these 
insects in the Annals of the Entomological Society of France, 2d 
series, v. 473-480. But none of the sections which these authors 
defiue appear to present differences of sufficient value to warrant 
their elevation to the rank of genera, although Mr. Curtis in his 
British Entomology has proposed to separate those having the 
•antennae shorter than the body> and the beak arising from the 
lower part of the head instead of between the base of the fore
