Alate Vivipara. Head and thorax pale lemon-yellow to brownish yellow; abdomen pale 
yellowish tinged with green; without black markings; antenna annulated; legs pale to slightly 
dusky with knees, tarsi and tips of tibiae and of rostrum blackish; fore wing hyaline, without 
smoky tips on veins and with anal and cubital veins not distinctly heavy or bordered. Body 
length 1.6-1.7; across eyes .42; antenna 2.8-3.3; hind tibia 1.30-1.50; hind tarsal II .11-.12; 
rostrum attaining between lst and 2d coxae. Cauda knobbed; anal plate indented. Hairs in- 
conspicuous. 
Apterous Summer Vivipara. Pale; appendages as in alate vivipara. Body length 2; 
across eyes .50; antenna 2.7-2.9; hind tibia 1.40; hind tarsal II .14; rostrum attaining 2d coxa. 
Hairs capitate, .10 long on vertex; pointed, .01 and sparse on antennal III; .03-.05 on hind 
tibia; .09 on side of abdomen. 
Ovipara. Apterous. Pale yellow, shading to green or red laterally and posteriorly and 
with short, often broken, black dorsal bands on abdominal I to V; appendages and measure- 
ments as in apterous summer vivipara except tibia with proximal half to two-thirds moder- 
ately swollen and thickly covered with small sensoria. 
Male. Alate. Pale green with dorsum of head, thorax and dorsal bands on all abdominal 
segments black; appendages slightly dusky, darker on knees and tarsi and at tips of segments 
of antenna. Measurements as in alate vivipara.

Type. U.S.N.M., No. 59325. Paratypes, Colo. Agr. Exp. Sta. and Granovsky 
Collections. 
Chief Distinguishing Characters. Pale color of body with absence of vittae 
or dorsal bands in alate vivipara and absence of smoky tips on veins of fore wing 
or conspicuously heavy anal and cubital veins, number of sensoria on III of 
alate vivipara (8-11), length of antenna (III .84-1.05, IV .65-.80 and VI .22+ 
00 - .55), length of rostral IV + V (.12), presence of apterous vivipara and alate 
condition of the male. 
Acknowledgements are due to Granovsky who called attention to this form. 
This species differs from C. betulaecolens (Fitch) in the shorter antenna and 
fewer sensoria. Type specimens of Fitch’s species show antennal measurements 
as follows: III 1.20 - 1.27 with 12-15 sensoria, IV .77 - .95, V .68 - .75, VI .29 - .30
