ally it with the Macrosiphini and a distal filament so short that it 

 would render it somewhat conspicuous even among the Aphidini. 

 It is frequently included under Siphocoryne or Rhopalosiphum. 



Siphocoryne Passerini.

Like the foregoing species this inhabits Salix and various genera 

 of the Umbelliferae. It is figured by Gillette (1911a) and by 

 Theobald (1912). 



The approved generic name for the three foregoing species has 

 more recently been Hyadaphis. The erection in 1914 of the genus 

 Cavariella appropriated pastinaceae, however, and logically adopted 

 the second species with a caudal horn — capreae. 

 S. pastinaceae (Linnaeus). Aphis pastinaceae Linnaeus. 



Syst. Nat, Edn. 10, 451, 1758. 



This species inhabits Salix and various genera of the Umbel- 

 liferae. It is figured by Theobald (1912).

This aphid is found on Symphorocarpus and Lonicera in the 

 spring and migrates to parsnip and other umbelliferous plants for 

 the summer. 



Hartford, 18 July, 1913 (A. B. Pimm) ; on Symphorocarpus, New Haven, 

 13 Oct., 1909 (A. I. B.) ; on Tartarian honeysuckle, New Haven, 4 June, 

 1909 (W. E. B.) ; on parsnip, New Haven, 13 July, 1909 (A. I. B.). 



Macrosiphini. 



Amphorophora Buckton. 



This genus as here used functions conveniently for those species 

 which cannot go into Rhopalosiphum (as long as that genus holds 

 prunifoliae (avenue)) on the one hand or into Nectar osiphon on 

 the other. Its stability is not warranted but there is some 

 precedence for this usage.
