Walker, Zool. s. s. pp. 1048-1063, 1118-1123, 1296-1301, 1328-1333 
(1868), 1996-2001 (1870), in this paper gives a translation of Passerini’s 
work, in which the Aphididse are divided into 6 tribes, and adds notes of 
his own on many species belonging to the various genera. 
Phylloxera vaatatrix (Planchon). Targioni-Tozzetti, Bull. Ent. Ital. 
pp. 68-76, treats at some length on the development and habits of this insect, 
and illustrates his paper with drawings of the creature in various stages of de- 
velopment. Under the title Entomologia Agraria,'’ 1. c. pp. 202-206, there 
is a further reference to this genus. 
Phylloxet'a. Lichtenstein (Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. (4) x. Bull. p. x) gives 
an account of his observations made during a journey with Planchon to 
vineyards infested by this insect. He advocates the use of bisulphuret of 
calcium for their destruction, and believes the insect attacks the healthy 
vines, a belief which is not shared in by either Signoret or Gu^rin-Meneville.
