    Notes: Abstract The results presented in this paper suggest that sugar beet became less suitable as a host for aphids after late June and early July, when the plants were at the 10–12 leaf stage. This was indicated by a faster rate of aphid mortality and greater incidence of dark stomach deposits after this time. Increased aphid mortality coincided with a change in physiology of sugar beet leaves from being net sinks to sources of assimilate. Aphids which fed on older leaves, irrespective of plant age, suffered greater mortality than those feeding on young heart leaves. The incidence of dark deposits in aphid stomachs associated with this mortality was greater on outer than on inner leaves of old, mature and young plants. It is suggested that the incidence of the dark deposit is an indicator of declining plant quality. The consequences of this for the spread of beet yellowing viruses are discussed.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé La taille et l'état de développement des plus gros embryons de Sitobion avenae Fab ont été examinés par dissection d'ailés et aptères à partir du troisième stade. La taille des embryons des 2 morphes augmente pendant le développement larvaire des mères, mais ceux des mères aptères grossissent plus vite. Bien que la période précédant la reproduction des alates soit plus longue chez les ailés que chez les aptères, les embryons des ailés sont néanmoins incapables de l'emporter en taille sur les aptères, et les ailés produisent initialement moins de pucerons et plus petits que les aptères. Après 4 jours de reproduction, les mères ailées et aptères produisent des pucerons de même taille au même rythme. La fécondité totale des aptères est supérieure à celle des ailés; la différence est liée à la biologie des 2 morphes.
    Notes: Abstract Apterous and alate Sitobion avenae (Fab.) were dissected from the third instar onwards and the size and degree of development of their largest embryos recorded. From at least the third instar apterae had larger and more well developed embryos than alatae. Embryos in both morphs showed an exponential increase in volume with time during their mothers' nymphal development, but those in apterous mothers grew faster. Although alatae had a longer pre-reproductive development than apterae, it was not long enough to compensate for the lower embryo growth rates in alatae and as a consequence they initially produced smaller and fewer offspring than apterae. After 4 days of reproduction apterous and alate mothers produced similar sized offspring and at the same rate. The total fecundity of apterae was greater than that of alatae.
