Neophyllaphis podocarpi, n. sp. 

 Winged viviparous females. — Body rather narroAv and Avithout hairs. 

 Frontal tubercles inconspicuous. Beak slender and reaching beyond the hind 

 cox?e. Eyes large, ocelli prominent. Antenna^ slender, without hairs, two 



basal segments very short, the third nearly 

 as long as the fourth and fifth combined 

 and bearing about 60 small, transversely 

 narrowed sensoria scattered over the entire 

 length, the fourth slightly shorter than 

 the fifth and without sensoria, sensoria at 

 the distal end of the fifth segment small 

 and circular, the sixth as long as the 

 fourth with a small, round sensorium near 

 the apex, spur of last segment very short. 

 Wings not narrow, the third oljlique vein 

 twice branched. Abdomen without tuber-

 and with a few sliort, fine hairs. P>nipodivil 

 hairs aljsent. 



Colour dark reddish purple, eyes 

 Wings hyaline with brown veins. 



Length of body L3 mm.; of antenna LI mm.; of fore wing L7 mm. 



Wingless viviparous female. — Body narrow, being broadest at middle, 

 slightly pulverulent, and hairs absent. Frontal tubercles absent. Eyes very 

 small. Beak slender and reaching beyond hind coxa. Antenna' not reaching 

 to tip of body, slender, and without hairs, third segment longer than the fourth 

 and fifth combined, the fourth shorter than fifth, and the fifth subequal in length 

 to the sixth, spur very short, sensoria absent excepting a single round one near

 legs as in the winged female.

 cornicles black and cauda pale black. 



Length of body L5 mm.; of antenna' 0.9 mm. 



Winged male. — Third antennal segment bearing numerous transxerse 

 sensoria which are irregularly scattered over the entire segment; fourth, fifth 

 and sixth segments with fewer similar sensoria. 



Winged oviparous female. — Third antennal segment with numerous long, 

 encircling transverse sensoria regularly placed; none on remaining segments 

 except the usual distal ones on (he liflli and sixth segments. Hind tibia swollen 

 and bearing numbers of sensoria on basal halt. 



Type Locality. — Meguro, Tokyo, Japan. 



As in Neophyllaphis podocarpi the oviparous females of Grceuidea hinvarnc 

 Perg., Trichosiphum tcuiiicorpus Okag., and Cervaphis quercits Tak., are winged.
