Aphid Ji. 



Ceylonia thesecola, Buckton (Aphis sp., Green). This species 

 was originally described from specimens forwarded to the Indian Museum 

 by Mr. E, E. Green^ who found both the winged and wingless form in 

 large numbers on the succulent shoots of young tea plants in Ceylon. 

 Representatives of what is undoubtedly the same species have since been 

 sent to the Indian Museam upon two occasions from Indian tea gardens. 

 The first to be received comprised both the winged and wingless forms, 

 and were forwarded in March by Mr. M. K. Bamber, who has since noted 

 that the species has been found attacking tea in most districts ; the 

 second to be received arrived from Cachar in August and comprised the 

 wingless form only.
