His discription [description] is:--

"The perfect winged insect (fig. 1.) is about one-tenth
of an inch long and measures about one-fourth of an inch across
the wings when they are fully expanded; the color of
this insect varies considerably, some specimens being much
darker than others.  The head and thorax are generally dark
brown or nearly black; the eyes are reddish brown, the antennae
are composed of seven joints, and are of the same color
as the head, except the third joints which are yellowish
brown.  The body is yellowish, with four dark brown or black
spots on either side; each of the first, <s>third or fourth</s> 3 or 4
joints are marked with a dark band, the remainder are covered
with a patch of the same color; the cornicles also are nearly
black; the legs are yellowish with the tips of the joints
and the feet black; the upper wings are large and slightly
irridescent, with pale brown veins.  The wingless female
(fig. 2.) is hardly one-tenth of an inch long, and is a much
broader insect than her winged sister; it also varies very
much in color, some specimens being of  a brownish yellow,
with various brown or black bands, other being nearly if not
quite black, except the legs, antennae and eyes which are of
the same color as those of the winged form.  The larvae are
of rather a reddish-yellow color."
