PKyllopsis, F. Low.

Psijlla, F. Low. 



Pruni, Scop. I have a specimen taken on Douglas fir on 

 January 29th, 1911. 



Cmtcegi, Schr. Not common. It would seem that this species 

 usually passes the winter in furze-bushes, and I have beaten it 

 from Pinna si/lve-'^tris in February. 



Rhamnicola, Scott. Fairly plentiful in conifers in winter. 



Melanoiieura, Forst. Countless numbers may be beaten from 

 Douglas fir and other thick conifers in the winter. I have also 

 taken it on o;ik in late August, hawthorn and sallow in early 

 October, and found it very commonly on hawthorn and blossom- 

 ing sallow in March. 



Ferniginea, Edw. Common on Pinus si/lrestris in January. 



Betalce, Linn. On oak nnd birch in September and October, 



Nigrita, Zett. Mr. Edwards has detected one specimen 

 among a number of P. melanonetira beaten from sallow on 

 March 3rd, 1912.

 and October.
