APHIDES AND THEIR FOOD PLANTS. 



By G. C. BIGNELL, M.E.S. 



The numbers after the Food Plant refer to other species of Aphis feeding on the same plant, but 

 do not extend to the gall-making or root-feeding species. 



The numbers before the names of the Aphides are in the order in which they are arranged in Mr. 

 Buckton's Monograph of the British Aphides, published by the Eay Society. 1 to 47 are contained in 

 Vol. I. 48 to 119 in Vol. II., 120 to 158 in Vol. EEL, 159 to 179 in Vol. IV.
