Adis (Lov^n), Jeffreys enumerates the following five British species : — 
unica (Mont.), ascaris (Turt.), supranitida (S. Wood), walleri, sp. n., Jeflfr. 
p. 105, and gidsoncB (Clark). He thinks that the first and last are aberrant 
forms, which, perhaps, are better separated, proposing for the first the gene- 
ric name Or aphis, for the last that of Menippe [already employed in the class 
of Crustacea, the former by botanists for Lichens]. He does not give generic 
characters, but describes at length the living animal and shell of both. Brit.
