Disliiiguished from the allied species by the almost parallel body and 

 by the colour. 



[N.B. — The genus Brachyrrkynchiis^ I^^P-, must bear the younger 

 name, Mczira, Am. S., the first name being preoccupied (Selys, Aves, 

 1831). The allied genus, Coloborrhyndius, Champ., the name of 

 which is also preoccupied (Owen, Reptilia, 1874), 1 proi)ose to call 

 Coloborrh in 7/ j". ] 



CATALOGUE OF THE GENERA OF THE HEAHPTEROUS 

 FAMILY APHID.-F:.— Second Supplement. 



BY G. W. KIRKALDY. HONOLULU, HAWAIIAN ISLANDS. 



In the Annales of the Belgian Entomological Society (Vol. 50, pp. 

 30-6, F'eb. 2, 1906), my friend Mr. Schouteden has added a considerable 

 number of genera and species to my list, extending it to 1906. 



The number of omissions, even before 1905, is so large, compara- 

 tively, that it demands some explanation from me. 



1. Some of the remarks, as, for example, the identit) of Aristaphis 

 ar.d Pterocomma^ are matters of opinion, though Mr. Schouteden is more 

 likely to be right in this matter than I. These, howeveTj are few in 

 number, and are incidental to all list-making. 



2. Some of the omissions were rectified in the first supplement, and 

 it is instructive, as illustrating the difficulty of procuring, or, rather, of 

 knowing of the existence of, some of the papers, that Schouteden did not 

 know of one or two added there by me. 



3. I can scarcely hold myself justly responsible for ignorance of 

 many of the papers, as they were in publications inaccessible here, and 

 were not included in any of the usual records. An author can certainly 

 publish where he wishes, but he ought to send copies for record to the 

 Zoological Record, Bericht der PZntomologie, or similar works. 



The Zoological Record for 1904 was not received here till February, 

 1906, consequently I lost an opportunity of revising my list. 



4. Almost all of the omissions are of European species, the most 

 notable being several species of Phylloxera, described by Pergande. 



5. In the same Annales, p. 42 (Feb. 27), Mr. Schouteden adds 

 another omitted genus (dating from 1857 !) and makes one or two minor 

 alterations in his own paper. 



June, 1906
