HEMIPTERA OF COLORADO 
125 
Fort Collins. September i5th on Mentzelia nnda (Baker). 
“I have also taken a very anomalous Aphid, for which I can give neither generic nor 
specific determination, forming a gall on the leaves of Arctostaphylos uva-ursi. Oneside 
of the leaf is turned back and thickened for about half its length, thereby forming a 
smooth oblong gall about 10 mm. long and 3 mm. in diameter, which is often of a reddish 
color. Only apterous individuals were observed. Length about 1.60-1.80 mm. Beak 
reaching the second coxae. Antennae six-jointed, the third joint longest, the sixth 
second in length, all of the joints beyond the third with many fine annulations, sparsely 
hairy; the antennae would reach a little beyond the base of the wings. Honey tubes 
very small, broader than long, scarcely elevated above the abdomen. Legs short. Body 
elongate, dull green, legs a little darker. Individuals examined later in the season, 
which were evidedently pupae of winged forms, have the body more ovate with numerous 
short hairs. Antennae distinctly seven jointed and about one-half as long as the body. 
Honey tubes somewhat longer.”
