NOTES ON THE APHIDES OF ROSS-SHIRE 85 



191 7. Each female had produced a number of young on the 

 blades, but I was unsuccessful in my attempts to rear them. Mi- 

 Theobald has examined the alate females and is unable to refer 

 them to any previously described species. Lichtenstein records an 

 Aphis allii on Allium in Flores des Aphidien {Lcs Pucerons, 

 Monographic des Aphidiens, chapter iv., page 78), but he has not 

 described the species. 



Genus Amphorophora, Buckton. 



Amphorophora vtcice, Kalt. Common on broad bean, 

 Swordale, on 27th July, apterous viviparous females, larvae and a 

 few alatae. I also found it on tares ( Vicia sativd). 



Genus Drepanosiphum, Koch. 



Drepanosiphum platanoides, Schrank. Alate viviparous, 

 females of this species were common on maple {Acer), at Balconie 

 on 3rd August. 



Genus Rhopalosiphum, Koch. 



Rhopalosiphum dianthi, Schrank. I found apterous viviparous 

 females, larva;, and alatae of this species commonly on cabbage, 

 at Swordale, on 6th August; also on turnips and swedes on 15th 

 August in the same locality. 



Rhopalosiphum britteni, Theobald. I took an alate 

 viviparous female of this species on the under-surface of a 

 gooseberry leaf at Balconie on 4th September, and another, also 

 on gooseberry, at Swordale on 15th September. This is the only 

 record of this very marked species since it was described from 

 Cumberland. 



Rhopalosiphum lactucce, Kalt. I found this species abundantly 

 upon sowthistle {Sonchus), at Balconie, on 3rd August. Apterous 

 viviparous females, nymphae and alatoe, were present. 



Genus Cavariella, Del Guercio. 



Cavariella caprece, Fabricius. Alate viviparous females, apterae 

 and larvae, occurred on willow (Salix), at Balconie, on 1st August. 



Genus Siphocoryne, Passerini. 



Siphocorytie {Aphis) brassier, Linn. I found this species on 

 turnips, and less commonly on swedes, on 15th August at 



--.
