Synopsis of the Pemphigidae 



of 



Japan. 



By 



Prof. Shönen Matsumura. 



The superfamily Aphididae is now divided into the following four 

 families - 1. Aphididae, 2. Pemphigidae, 3. Chermes-idae, 4. Phylloxer- 

 idae. The Pemphigidae of Japan have not yet been thoroughly examined 

 and studied by any entomologist. 



In 1900 Prof. C. Sasaki published in the Japanese language two new 

 Anoecia species belonging to this family, and in 1902 the same author 

 wrote again in our language about some gall-making Aphides 



In 1906 Mr. Pergande worte in the " Entomological News '> about 

 one new genus and one new species - Nipponaphis distychii - of the 

 Japanese Pemphigidae. 



• ON 



In 1909 I published some Gall- Aphides in our language , but there 

 was no new species. In 1910 Prof. C. Sasaki read a paper on " a new 

 Japanese Gall- Aphid - Astegopteryx nekoashi " - in the first Interna- 

 tional Entomological Congress of Brüssel. Besides these contributions 

 I have not found any reference to the Japanese Pemphigidae. Since 

 1914 I have been collecting materials about the Japanese Aphididae, 

 most of which has now been examined and will in the near future be 

 published elsewhere. At this time I shall make public only my presnt 

 study coucering the Pemphigidae.
