Abstract Collecting records of twenty aphid species are shown with the data of host plants and attendant ants. The followings are new country record of each species: Lachnus tropicalis (Laos); Nippolachnus piri (Laos); Impatientinum impatiens (Laos); Myzus varians (Vietnam); Aphis clerodendri (Laos); Aphis kurosawai (Vietnam, Laos); Aphis odinae (Laos); Cryptosiphum artemisiae (Vietnam); Cervaphis quercus (Laos).
