Aphidid^. 



[Note. — Our knowledge of Indian Aphidg, even of those which are pests of culti- 

 vated crops, is woefully scanty. The following list has been compiled almost wholly 

 from the late Bashambar Das' paper on the Aphididse of Lahore.]

This species — or, at least, the Aphid we know under this name — 

 has been noted on safflower at Pusa, Dharwar and in the Central Pro- 

 vinces, and is sometimes a bad pest of safflower. 



This Aphid does not appear to have been seen by Mr. Das in Lahore.
