The color of all forms is shining black, the lighterportions of the antenna? and legs shown in the illustration being paleyellow. The heinelytra are ornamented with rather sparse scale-liketufts of yellow hair, arranged as in the illustration. These are readilydetached, and hence apt to be wanting in old dried material. Thedimorphic brachypterous or wingless female of uhleri is shown at a,the winged female at b, and the male at c. The true male, as identifiedby Messrs.
