Description

1. Aphis gossypii Glover, Pat. Office Rec., 62, 1854.

The widely distributed cotton aphis was found to a slight extent on taro. Some bad infestations of it were seen on eggplant. Fullaway reported it on cotton and cowpeas in 1911, and what was probably the same species on watermelon, cucumber, eggplant, and radish. He also reported an undetermined aphid on beets.

From parasitized gossypii on taro at Inarajan, May 14, 6 Aphelinus issued. They appear to be near Aphelinus nwidis, but do not have the darkened mid and hind tibiae of that species.
