“Calaphis hetulella— Yellow. Antenn® attaining the extreme tips of 
the expanded wings, black, joints 1 and 2 yellowish with a black vitta 
half inside and half beneath; joints 3-6 each white at base; eyes black, 
with a black line from each to the insertion of the rostrum, which is 
black; head with a narrow black vitta above, acute in front, com¬ 
mencing between the antennae and attaining the prothorax. Prothorax 
and thorax with a narrow lateral vitta commencing at the eyes, pass¬ 
ing just inside the base of the wings, and converging on tlie^scutel, 
and another dorsal one, black. Abdomen with about seven dorsal 
black fasciae at the tips of the joints, the basal and several of the 
terminal ones often interrupted or obsolete, occasionally only three 
present. Honey-tubes fuscous, scarcely as long as the tarsi. Legs yel¬ 
low, femora with an anterior black vitta, abbreviated at tip, and a 
terminal and subterminal black facias above; tibias and tarsi black. 
Wings hyaline, stigma generally yellowish; subcostal and three dis- x 
coidals coal-black, very robust, subequal, except at the origin of the third 
discoidal where the subcostal is hne and paler, and the third discoidal 
hyaline for a short space, whenoe it becomes obsolete. Hind wings 
with all the veins slender, subhyaline. Length .07-.09 inch; to tip of 
wings .15-. 17 inch, expanse .30-.35 inch. 
The stigma is three times as long as wide, moderately acute at each 
end. 
Antennte long, linear, seven-jointed; 4 shorter than 3, 5 shorter than 
4 , 6 less than one-half as long as 5, 7 siender, twice as long as 6. 
Prothorax more than half as long as the thorax. Honey-tubes moderate. 
Wings steeply roofed and differing from those of Aphis only in the 
total absence of the fourth or stigmal vein and in the unusually ro¬ 
bust discoidal veins.” 
This description would, according to the characters given, place this 
species in Myzocallis , but I prefer to allow it to remain until the 
question of identity can be positively determined. 
Callipterus ulmicola n. sp. 
This exceedingly delicate species I find in the collection of Plant- 
lice sent me by Prof. W. T. Bundy, of Sauk City, Wisconsin, the 
accompanying note, which is given below, is too brief to aid much 
in determining it. I am forced therefore, in describing it, to rely 
upon the characters shown in the alcoholic specimens, with the excep¬ 
tion of the general color. 
Winged specimen .—AVings exceedingly delicate and transparent, ap¬ 
pearing as a mere film, even the veins scarcely visible with a common 
pocket magnifier, when seen through a strong microscope the latter 
are pale transparent yellowish; the subcostal much the largest, and 
nearly parallel with the costa, bending slightly inward at the inser¬ 
tion of the first branch vein, which is farther from the base of the 
wing, and nearer the stigma than usual, it also makes a sharp curve 
forward toward the costa at the base of the stigma; the second vein 
rises about the base of the stigma, it and the first vein both curve 
somewhat strongly outward (toward the apex of the wing) at base;
