Extract

Hille Ris Lambers (1939) erected the genus Masonaphis with Macrosiphum rhododendri Wilson, 1918, as typus generis. When I revised this genus (1958) there was no opportunity to examine authentic material of the genotype. Since then Dr. A. A. Granovsky, University of Minnesota, Saint Paul, Minnesota, has kindly supplied to me cotype slide 2 of the species and cotype slide 5 to Miss L. M. Russell, United States Department of Agriculture, Washington, D.C. I have examined and remounted both slides which were labelled: Macrosiphum rhododendri n. sp.; Newport, Oregon; June 15, 1915; Rhododendron californicum leaves; H. F. Wilson; 509 cotype. Slide 2 contained sexuales and an alate viviparous female; slide 5 contained alate males and an apterous and an alate viviparous female. In addition Miss Russell provided me with material containing all morphs collected in Washington, Oregon, and California.
