REPORT OF ENTOMOLOGIST. 
I 5 
The males differ from the females in being of a dark cinereous brown 
color. The femora are also of the same color and the tibiae are much 
darker than in the female. The eyes are very much larger being sub- 
attingent in front of the ocelli. 
Described from nine males and ten females bred from stems 
of winter wheat. 
The injuries of the fly seem to have been confined to the one 
field. Mr. S.A. Johnson and Mr. Fred Bishopp examined a large 
number of fields of winter wheat in the vicinity of Fort Collins 
but in no case did they find farther injuries by this insect. 
The summer and fall habits of this fly are unknown. 
A wing of this fly is shown in Fig. C., PI. II. 
Aspidiotus forbesi. A card from Prof. T. D. A. Cockerell, of 
Colorado College,states that he has found this scale abundant upon 
a bush of Cercocarpus parvifolius growing upon a hillside at 
Colorado City. This is a matter of sufficient importance to war¬ 
rant mention of the fact in this report. It seems to be the first 
record for the species in Colorado.
