ABSTRACT THREE colouring matters (cochineal, kermes, lac-dye) derived from insects belonging to the Coccidæ have long been of commercial importance and have been the subject of extensive
chemical investigation. Although many of the related Aphididæ are highly pigmented and are of very common occurrence, chemical investigation of their pigments has been very scanty. No doubt
one reason for this state of affairs has been the comparative difficulty of collecting adequate supplies of insect material ; but the small amount of information available suggests that some
aphids at least contain colouring matters possessing unusual properties. Access through your institution Buy or subscribe This is a preview of subscription content, access via your
