THE ENTOMOLOGIST S RECORD. 



Isle of Wight, in October last. Mr. Forsyth has also taken it again 

 at Weymouth, where I first discovered it in Britain. 



Apuid^:. — Fordo, formicaria, Heycl. — I took this species in a nest 

 of Lasius niger, at Harlech, last June. Hardy took it in Myrmica 

 nests in Berwickshire, and Lord Avebury with L. flavus at Beckenham. 

 Buckton mentions that it is a common companion of ants. Monsieur 

 H. Schouteden records it with Myrmica rugulosa, Nyl., TetramoHum 

 caespitiim, Lasius flarus, and L. niger in Belgium. Father Wasmann 

 with most small ants, especially L. flarus. 



Trama troglodytes, Heyd.- — I took a specimen of this "plant-louse" 

 in the same nest as the above. In ants' nests at Beckenham (Lord 

 Avebury) ; Grampian Hills (Hardy) ; common with Myrmica rubra 

 and Latins fuliginosus in Berwickshire (Hardy) ; with Myrmica rubra, 

 M. rugulosa, and Lasius niger in Belgium (Schouteden). 



Tetraneum (Tychaea) setariae, Pass. — I have taken this species with 

 Formica rufibarbis var. fusco-rufibarbis at Whitsand Bay, and Lasius 

 flavus at Ashstead. In ant-hills at Beckenham (Buckton) ; in nests 

 of Tetramorium caespitiim in Bohemia (Wasmann). I took it in some 

 numbers at Ashstead by cutting open the turf mounds of the ant. 



Aphis planiaginis, Schrk. — I took this A/Jiis in June, 1902, at 

 Bosbeigh, Co. Kerry, on plants in a nest of Lasius niger. Mons. 

 Schouteden, who has taken it with Lasius flavus in Belgium," points 

 out that the ants carry its eggs into their gallaries to pass the winter, 

 and when they hatch, replace them on the roots, or the shoots, of 

 Chrysanthemum, Bellis, Plantago, Achillea, etc. I am much indebted to 

 Mons. H. Schouteden for having kindly identified the above species 

 for me. 



Acarina. — Glyphopsis coccinea, Mic. — I took this species in some 

 numbers in a nest of Formica fusca at Barmouth, last June. 



Glyphopsis bostocki, Mic. — Mr. Morley took a specimen of this 

 species in a nest of Lasius flavus in his garden at Monk's Soham. 



Glyphopsis formica-riae, Lubbock. — I took this mite in a nest of 

 Lasius flavus at Harlech, last June. 



Leolaps cuneifer, Mic. — I took this species new to Britain in 

 numbers with Lasius fuliginosus at Wellington College. Father 

 Wasmann has taken it with the same ant in Holland, and Mr. Michael 

 with ( 'amponotus in the Tyrol. 



Leolajis myrmecophilus, Berl. — I took this species with Formica 

 fusca at Barmouth, with F. sanyuinea at Woking, and specimens taken 

 with the former host at Niton, Isle of Wight, Mr. N. D. F. Pearce 

 thinks are also this species. 



Uropoda ricasoliana, Berl. — Mr. Pearce thinks that a specimen 

 taken by me with Lasius fuliginosus at Wellington College, is this 

 species. It was taken with the same ant in Holland by Father 

 Wasmann. 



Antennophorus grandis, Berl. — I took a fair number of an Antenno- 

 phorus on the ants in a nest of Lasius fuliginosus at Wellington College, 

 which Father Wasmann suggests are this species, in which case it is new 

 to Britain. Our other species, Antennophorus uhlmanni, Hall, has 

 only been taken in Britain at Land's End, by Mr. Michael, in ants' 

 nests, the ants would not be L. fuliginosus. Father Wasmann has 



Les Aphides Radicicoles de Belgique et les Fourmis.
