  AMPHOROPHORA 
  RHODODENDRONIA, 
  new 
  species 
  

  

  Figs. 
  59-61 
  

  

  A 
  slide 
  bearing 
  four 
  apterous 
  viviparous 
  females 
  was 
  received 
  from 
  

   Dr. 
  Edith 
  M. 
  Patch 
  (Maine 
  No. 
  168-22). 
  These 
  were 
  taken 
  on 
  

   Rhododendron 
  rhodora 
  at 
  Orono, 
  Maine, 
  July 
  21, 
  1922. 
  They 
  are 
  not 
  

   typical 
  Amphorophora 
  but 
  no 
  doubt 
  should 
  be 
  placed 
  here, 
  at 
  least 
  

   until 
  the 
  alate 
  in 
  known. 
  The 
  host 
  plant 
  belongs 
  to 
  a 
  family 
  on 
  which 
  

   are 
  several 
  members 
  of 
  this 
  genus 
  of 
  aphids.
