NOTES AND DESCRIPTIONS OF SOME ORCHARD PLANT 

 LICE OF THE FAMILY APHIDIDAE^ 



By C. P. Gillette 



The Aphididffi have been the most destructive family of insects 

 attacking Colorado orchards for several years past. Consequently 

 thej^ have been objects of sjiecial study by the writer and his assistants 

 for the last two or three years. I am giving here some of the more 

 technical information, especially descriptions, that would be of little 

 interest to the fruit grower. 



*This paper is supplemental to Bull. 133 of the Colorado Agricultural Experi- 

 ment Station, which deals more specially with the life habits and the means 

 of control of orchard plant lice.
