 pp. 9-20, 3 plates. [Received 3rd January 1919.] 



The genus Trichosiphum, Perg., has been recorded only from Japan; 

 Formosa and Ceylon. A key is given to six of the seven species at 

 present known, including the following new ones, the various stages 

 of which are described : — Trichosiphum nigrum on Quercus formosana-, 

 T. formosanum on Psidium guayava (guava) and Ficus spp., and 

 T. nigrofasciatum on Quercus formosana, Q. serrata and Q. variabilis. 



Matsumura (S.). Synopsis of the Pemphigidae of Japan. — Collection 

 of Essays for Mr. Yasrishi Nawa, Gifu, October 1917, pp. 39-94, 

 4 plates. [Received 3rd January 1919.] 



Since 1914 the author has been collecting material about the 

 Japanese Aphids and in the present paper gives the results of his 

 study of the family Pemphigidae, to which little attention has been 

 paid. He divides this family into the four subfamilies Vacuninae, 

 Pemphiginae, Hormaphidinae and Mindarinae. A key is given to 

 the 19 genera included in these, comprising in all 29 species. 



The following are described as new : — Astegopteryx styraci, which 

 forms galls on Styrax obassia ; Nipponaphis yanonis, found on Disty- 

 chimn racemosum ; Cerataphis saccharivora, taken in Formosa on 

 the underside of leaves of Saccharum officinarum (sugar-cane), covered 

 with white cottony secretions ; Mansakia miyahei, gen. et sp. n., 

 which makes a large chestnut-like gall on the apical branch of Hama- 

 melis japonica ; Schlechtendalia miyahei, which forms galls on the 

 branches of Rhus semialata ; S. intermedia, which also forms galls 

 on R. semialata and may be identical with S. chinensis, Licht. ; 

 NuTudea ibofushi, gen. et sp. n., Nurudeopsis shiraii, gen. et sp. n., 

 N. yanoniella and Fushia rosea, gen. et sp. n., all forming galls on 

 Rhus semialata. Tetraneura yezoensis and T. fusiformis form galls 

 on Uhnus campestris var. major ; Gohaishia japonica, gen. et sp. n., 

 on Ulmus campestris and U. montana ; G. nirecola, of which the gall- 

 making spring form occurs on U. campestris var. major and the root- 

 attacking summer form on Panicum, Setaria and Triticum ; Schizo- 

 neura japonica causes the leaves of Ulmus campestris var. major 

 to curl into a roll in which the larvae develop until winged imagines 

 of the first series appear and migrate for reproduction to some inter- 

 mediate host, such as Ribes or various Rosaceous plants. Other species 

 recorded are . — Pemphigus dorocola and P. niisimae, forming galls 

 on Populus halsamifera : Walabura nishiyae, gen. et sp. n., living on 

 Cydonia vulgaris and possibly at the root of apple ; and Nishiyana 

 aomoriensis, gen. et sp. n., of which the food-plant is unknown.
