ANOTHER APHID FROM GAINESVILLE 
In connection with the host plant list of Gainesville aphids by 
Mr. Mason, published in our last issue, Mr. Geo. G. Ainslie 
calls our: attention to Carolinaia cyperi Ainslie, the original de- 
scription of which was published in the Canadian Entomologist 
March, 1915. This was collected from nut grass at Gainesville 
by Mr. Ainslie and is probably the species Mr. Mason records 
on page 23 as Carolinaia sp.
