This species can at once be told by the liack of the thorax, the scutellum and metanotum being always yelloNAJsh. The adults appear in April and IMay, and occur in three successive broods at least during the summer. The female deposits her eggs in rows along the ribs of the leaves, on the uuderside. As many as forty eggs have been counted on one leaf. The ova are deposited separately, each egg being placed in a small slit cnt in the leaf by means of the saw-like processes cliaracteiistic of the females of these insects. Unlike some of the Tenthrediuida:', the eggs are only slightlv buried.
