SUBFAMILY APHINAE 39 
white powder and hind tibia slightly swollen on proximal third to half and thickly covered 
with sensoria throughout entire length. 
Male. Alate. Body 2.3 long; other characters similar to alate vivipara except antenna, 
as shown in figure. 
Egg. Newly laid, yellowish brown; later, black; covered with pulverulence taken from 
her body and placed there by the hind tarsi of the ovipara. Length 1.30. 
Collections. On Picea pungens and ‘rarely on P. engelmanni, on bark of 
twigs and small limbs, in large colonies, eggs mostly on bark of twigs at bases 
of needles, a few on needles. Colorado: Fort Collins, Paonia and Tolland. 
Utah: Smithfield and Logan. Fundatrices Mar. 16 to May 20, apterous summer 
viviparae May 16 to July 20, alate viviparae May 5 to Nov. 5, sexuales Oct. 6 
to Nov. 5; common in parks. 
Type. U.S.N.M., No. 41942. Paratypes, Colo. Agr. Exp. Sta. Collection. 
Metatypes, Hille Ris Lambers Collection. 
Chief Distinguishing Characters. Color pattern, long hairs (on tibia .12-.17), 
rather long rostral IV (.25-.26) and large cornicle (.40-.60 in diameter at base). 
Metatype specimens of C. bogdanowi (Mordvilko) are very close but differ 
as follows: Shorter tibial hairs (.07-.10 instead of .10-.17), longer rostral IV 
(.27-.30 instead of .25-.26), longer hind tarsal II (.33-.35 instead of .26-.30) and 
location of eggs on old bark according to Cholodkovsky (1896c:148 in descrip- 
tion of Cinara piceicola).

Fundatrix. ‘‘Dark brown to reddish gray with greenish tinge; slightly pulverulent.”’ 
Apterous Vivipara. ‘‘Much lighter in color than fundatrix, grayish yellow with black 
specks; some examples greenish.’’ Antenna except VI and distal half of V and tip of IV and 
legs except tarsi and tips of tibiae pale yellowish; cornicle, cauda, tarsi and tips of tibiae and 
of rostrum dark. Body length 3; across eyes .70-.73; antenna 1.20; hind tibia 2. 
Alate Vivipara. Head and thorax dusky to blackish; ‘“‘abdomen same as apterous vivi- 
para excepting for some individuals which are greenish and with two dark green longitudinal 
dorsolateral stripes.’”’ Appendages as in apterous vivipara. Length of body 3; antenna about 
1.20; hind tibia 1.55-1.80; rostrum attaining cornicle. Hairs fine; on antenna length 2-3 times 
diameter of III; on hind tibia length 1.5-2 times diameter of tibia. Eye with tubercle. 
Ovipara. ‘‘Light brown to yellowish; naked except for white flocculence posterior to 
cornicle. Body length 2.5. Hind tibia somewhat swollen.” 
Male. “‘Apterous. Dark green with two black longitudinal dorsal stripes. Body length 
2; antenna 1.1, bearing numerous sensoria.”’ 
Egg. ‘‘Newly laid, yellow; later, black; often somewhat pulverulent.”’ 
Collections. On last year’s bark of Picea excelsa. Colorado: Denver. Alate 
and apterous viviparae April 9; not common.
