﻿ADDITIONS TO THE LIST OlT KEKT APHIDiD^.. 183 



of the ox-eye daisy {Chrysanthemum leucanthemum) at Wye, 

 July 4th, 1914, on the banks of the railway, and July 20th, 

 1914, on a cultivated species in my garden. In both cases 

 alatfe, nymphae and apterse in great numbers, and much 

 deforming the cultivated plants. 



Aphis scabiosce, Kaltenbach. — Two large colonies of this aphis 

 were found on June 21st in King's Wood, near Wye. They 

 consisted mainly of apterse, but a few alate females. The 

 colonies were not on the apex of the plants, as is usual, but 

 half up the stems. I have not yet examined these insects 

 microscopically, so cannot say for certain if they are the same as 

 the A]}his urticaria of Kaltenbach, but they have a strong general 

 resemblance. 



A}}his gain, Kaltenbach. — On galium or may wort {Galium 

 cruciata). ApterfB only at Wye, June 9th, 1914, and again in 

 June, 1915, on the same plant in King's Wood, Wye. 



Callipterus platani, Kaltenbach. — This insect was described 

 by Kaltenbach as a Lachnus. I know of no records since the 

 original description. I found it on the young sycamores in the 

 small forest nursery of the Agricultural College at Wye on 

 July 29th, 1914, and in much greater abundance on August 

 30th, 1914, when a few alatse were found. This insect was 

 largely attended by the ant Lasius fuliginosus. 



Chaitophorus betulce, Buckton. — On birches at Cranbrook, 

 July 3rd, 1914. 



Pachypappa reanmuri, Kaltenbach. — This very marked and 

 apparently scarce insect, described by Kaltenbach under the 

 genus Schizonetira, occurred on lime trees {Tilia, spp.) at 

 Bearsted in June, 1914 {vide ' Entomologist,' April and 

 May, 1915). 



Pemphigus picece, Hartig. — I find an old preparation of this 

 species found at Wye in 1905 in my collection taken on the 

 roots of spruce {Picea cxcelsa), and again in 1915 on the roots of 

 the Sitka spruce in April. It seems also to attack the roots of 

 various Pi7ius, and one specimen I have from the roots of Larix 

 is 80 similar I feel they must be the same. 



Procip)hilus nidificm, Loew.— Forming very marked leaf gall 

 tufts on the ash at Wye, July 7th, 1914. Some years ago a 

 photograph of the "leaf-tufts" formed by this aphid were 

 given me from a specimen taken at Wye. The only other 

 British specimens I have seen were sent me by Dr. MacDougall 

 from Scotland in 1914. 



Prociphilus humelice, Schrank. — I find I have some apter?e of 

 this species taken on the leaf stalks of the ash as far back as 

 1908. I had previously taken this and the former species to be 

 the same. They are quite distinct. 



Lachnus fasciatus, Burmeister. - Common on the spruce 

 {Picea excelsa) at Wve, Mnv to Jnlv, ]904-lJ'14; Tunbridge
