A SUPPLEMENTARY LIST 



TO KIRKALDY'S CATALOGUE OF THE APHID^ 



DESGRIBED AS NEW FROM 1885 



by II. Sclioiitedcn. 



My friend M. G.-W. Kirkaldy bas jiist published a « Catalogue ol' 

 the gênera of Aphidae, with a list of species described as new from 

 1885 », which appeared in the Canadian Entomologist vol. XXXVII, 

 n° 12 and XXXVIII, n° 1. Tbis work is intended to complète tbe list 

 of Apbidœ given in 1885 by J. Licbtenstein, — adding tbe species 

 described from tbis date (1885-1905) and enumerating ail tbe gênera 

 in tbeir proper signification after a careful détermination of tbe 

 génotypes. It will be, no doubt, of great assistance to any student 

 of Apbides. Still, unfortunately enough, it is yet incomplète, and 

 tberefore, in order to prevent tbat one could be induced to describe, 

 as new, forms already known to science, I bave tbougbt it better 

 to publish at once a complément to Kirkaldy's Catalogue (1). 



A number of tbe species hère listed appear already in tbis 

 Catalogue, but tbe quotations are inexact or incomplète : it is tbe 

 case with the Lachnus of Mordwilko (for synonymy see Cholod- 

 kovsky) and tbe four Apbides described from Java by Zehntner : 

 I succeeded in obtaining tbe original paper of Zehntner as appeared 

 in the Archief voor de Java-Suiker-Industrie and are thus able to 

 give for each species the exact pagination, bitherto unknown to 

 entomologists. 



The important publications of Mordwilko, Del Guercio and 

 Pergande (on Pbylloxeridse) seem to bave remained quite unknown 

 to Kirkaldy (as also to the editor of the Zoological Record) and the 

 new species and gênera they contain are ail omitted with a few 

 exceptions. I possess ail thèse works — some of which are extremely 

 difficult to procure, — so I can complète the list in tbis case also.
