PROCEEDINGS OF THE THIRD ENTOMOLOGICAL MEETING 279 



[Note. — Our knowledge of Indian Aphids, even of those -which are pests of culti- 

 vated crops, is woefully scanty. The following list has been compiled almost wholly 

 from the late Bashambar Das' paper on the Aphididse of Lahore.]

Macrosifhum sonchi, Linn. 

 Proc. Second Entl. Meeting, p. 97. 

 This species — or, at least, the Aphid we know under this name — 

 has been noted on safflower at Pusa, Dharwar and in the Central Pro- 

 vinces, and is sometimes a bad pest of safflower. 



This Aphid does not appear to have been seen by Mr. Das in Lahore.
