APHIDID^ FOUND IN KENT. 355 



June 3rd to 10th, and July 12th. Winged females and larvse on 

 various umbelliferae. On CEnanthe crocata, June 6th, 1911, winged 

 and wingless females; on Rcracleum spondylmm, July 11th, 1911. 

 Schouteden places this as a synonym of A. imstinacece, Linn. The 

 two species seem to me very distinct. 



A. evonyvd, Fabricius.- — Wye and Broughton, on spindle {Eitony- 

 mus europaus). Small colonies of alate forms under the leaves, pro- 

 ducing leaf-curling, June 6th and 9th, 1911. Schouteden places this as 

 a synonym of A. rumicis, Linn. It appears to me to be quite distinct. 



A. abietana, Wlk. — On spruce at Wye in May and June, both 

 on the shoots and needles. Winged females occurred in June. 

 Common in my garden with an unidentified Lachnus. Also from 

 Worksop, May 18th, 1911. 



A viahaleh, Koch. — Wye, on plums of all kinds, a few wingless 

 females from April to May 20th, on young shoots and beneath leaves, 

 not common ; also sent me from Worcestershire ; quite a distinct 

 species, and in no way connected with Phorodon Jiumuli. 



A. ephilohii, Koch. — On the small willow herb {Ephilohium parvi- 

 flomvi), a few scattered wingless females in June at Wye, 1911. Winged 

 and wingless females on Epilobium liirsutum on October 12th, 1911. 



A. rhei, Koch? — I place this here provisionally, as I have not 

 made a critical examination of the insects. Occurred at Wye in 

 dense masses, bleaching the flower heads of rhubarb all through June. 

 It bears a strong resemblance to A. papaveris. 



A. capsellcB, Kaltenbach (non Koch). — On seed heads of shepherd's 

 purse. Wye, June 13th, 1911. All wingless females, not common. 

 Winged females occurred on the seed-heads in October in some 

 numbers, and produced living young. Koch's species I have not 

 found ; it is distinct from Kaltenbach's. 



A. lythri, Schrank. — On purple loosestrife {Ly thrum salicarium) 

 amongst the flower heads. Wye, July 5th to 20th, 1911. Apparently 

 uncommon, all wingless females. 



A. clienopodii, Schrank. — On mangolds, Heme Bay, July 12th, 

 1911, under the curled leaves with A. papaveris, Fab., A. atripUcis, 

 Linn, and a new species. Schouteden places this species as a synonym 

 of atriplicis, Linn. It is distinct, and produces a very different 

 appearance of the leaves. 



A. (jenistce, Kaltenbach. •■' — The Warren, Ashford, densely coating 

 the seed pods and flower stalks of the broom (Cytisus scoparius). 

 Possibly the same as A. lahurni. 



A. lahurni, Kaltenbach. — On seed pods of laburnum, Wye, June 

 27th, 1911; Canterbury, June 19th, 1911; Maidstone, Faversham, 

 July 16th, 1911. Also sent me from Hereford by Mr. Durham. 



A. picridis, Fabricius? — Fairly abundant in apterous form for 

 two weeks on a garden hawk weed {Hieraciwn, sp.), and a few on 

 wild chicory {Chiconiicm intybus), Wye, July 4th, 1911. Schouteden 

 places Fabricius's species in Macrosiphinn, so my specimens must 

 belong to some other species. Although the siphons are long, they arc 

 not like a true Macrosiphum, and I fancy my identification is correct. 



■•= Del Gnercio, 1907, places this iu his genus Uraphis. It seems to 

 present no marked differences from others of the genus Aphis
