Proceedings of the Indiana Academy of Science Host List of Indiana Aphids (Homoptera: Aphididae) Virgil R. Knapp Indiana Department of Natural Resources Indianapolis, Indiana 46204 Abstract A list that gives the common and/or scientific names of 173 plant species, which are hosts for 218 species of aphids in Indiana is presented. Included are 8 species of aphids reported in Indiana for the first time. Accompanying an alphabetical list of hosts are the names of aphid species occurring on each. Eight new records of aphids from the state are listed with annotations. Some of these species, it is believed, have been referred to previously in the literature by other investigators under general nomenclatux-e but not by their scientific names. The hosts are cross referenced by common name with the corresponding scientific names where known. New Indiana Records of Aphids Unless noted, all collections were made by the author.

Bunn Road, Prosser, WA 99350, U.S.A Foottit R.G., Maw H.E.L., Pike K.S. – DNA barcodes to explore diversity in aphids (Hemiptera Aphididae and Adelgidae). A tendency towards loss of taxonomically useful characters, and morphological plasticity due to host and environmental factors, complicates the identification of aphid species and the analysis of relationships. The presence of different morphological forms of a single species on different hosts and at different times of the year makes it difficult to consistently associate routinely collected field samples with particular species definitions. DNA barcoding has been proposed as a standardized approach to the characterization of life forms. We have tested the effectiveness of the standard 658-bp barcode fragment from the 5’ end of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase 1 gene (COI) to differentiate among species of aphids and adelgids. Results are presented for a preliminary study on the application of DNA barcoding in which approximately 3600 specimens representing 568 species and 169 genera of the major subfamilies of aphids and the adelgids have been sequenced. Examples are provided where DNA barcoding has been used as a tool in recognizing the existence of cryptic new taxa, linking life stages on different hosts of adelgids, and as an aid in the delineation of species boundaries.

VEENMAN & ZONEN B.V. - WAGENINGEN - 1979 THE DIGESTIVE SYSTEM OF SUBSALTUSAPHIS ORNATA (HOMOPTERA: APHIDIDAE) INTRODUCTION The aphid Subsaltusaphis ornata (THEOBALD, 1927) belongs to the Callaphi- didae of BORNER (1952). These extremely flat aphids live onth e underside of the leaves of the sedge, Carex riparia CURT. During feeding the antennae are directed straight forward as has already been reported by WILLCOCKS for the related Saltusaphis scirpus THEOBALD, 1915, from 'sedges' in Egypt. The morphology and biology of Subsaltusaphis ornata hasbee n described by HILLE RIS LAMBERS (1935) under the name Saltusaphis ornatus THEOB., and chromosome studies have been performed by GUT (1976).A tpresen t this species isplace d inth e genus Subsaltusaphis QUEDNAU, 1953 (EASTOP and HILLE RIS LAMBERS, 1976). Investigations into the anatomy of the digestive system of Subsaltusaphis ornata THEOBALD were carried out since dissections of this flat aphid (Fig. 4) revealed the presence of two filtersystems, unique in the family Aphididae. Much information concerning the several types of filtersystems in the order Hemip- tera was obtained from the work of GOODCHILD (1966). MATERIALS AND METHODS Subsaltusaphis ornata, kindly supplied by Ing. A.va n HARTEN, were reared on Carex riparia inth einsectariu m ofth e Institute of Phytopathological Research (IPO) at Wageningen.

Cannon Nutritional Ecology of the Carpenter Ant Camponotus pennsylvanicus (De Geer): Macronutrient Preference and Particle Consumption Colleen A. Cannon (ABSTRACT) The nutritional ecology of the black carpenter ant, Camponotus pennsylvanicus (De Geer) was investigated by examining macronutrient preference and particle consumption in foraging workers. The crops of foragers collected in the field were analyzed for macronutrient content at two-week intervals through the active season. Choice tests were conducted at similar intervals during the active season to determine preference within and between macronutrient groups. Isolated individuals and small social groups were fed fluorescent microspheres in the laboratory to establish the fate of particles ingested by workers of both castes. Under natural conditions, foragers chiefly collected carbohydrate and nitrogenous material. Carbohydrate predominated in the crop and consisted largely of simple sugars. A small amount of glycogen was present. Carbohydrate levels did not vary with time. Lipid levels in the crop were quite low. The level of nitrogen compounds in the crop was approximately half that of carbohydrate, and exhibited seasonal dependence. Peaks in nitrogen foraging occurred in June and September, months associated with the completion of brood rearing in Camponotus.

In this study, we test its effectiveness in the discrimination of over 300 species of aphids from more than 130 genera. Most (96%) species were well differentiated, and sequence variation within species was low, averaging just 0.2%. Despite the complex life cycles and parthenogenetic reproduction of aphids, DNA barcodes are an effective tool for identification.

Apart fromcommonaphid species which have been observed for a long time there are also some rare species which came with imported plants. In Poland, aphids on ornamental plants in glasshouses were studied by CICHOCKA &GOSZCZYNÂ SKI (1975) and CICHOCKA (1992), as well as by BURDAJEWICZ &BOREJSZA-WYSOCKI (1978), whereas aphids in green hou- ses of the Botanical Gardens were revised by ACHREMOWICZ et al. (1986). Material and methods Observations of aphids occuring on ornamental plants were carried out in commercial glasshouses and plastic tunnels during 1981-2007 all over Poland, especially in the Mazowieckie and èoÂdzkie provinces at a varied frequency, ranging fromonce a week to three timesa year.

North Street, Geneva, NY 14456, USA 3Penn State Department of Entomology, 501 ASI, University Park, PA 16802, USA *Corresponding author; E-mail: [email protected] AbsTRacT Recent aphid-vectored viruses in the northeastern U.S. led to extensive surveys of aphid (Hemiptera: Aphididae) species composition. We report the species composition and rich- ness of alate aphids associated with processing snap bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.; Fa- bales: Fabaceae) agroecosystems from field surveys conducted during 5 yr in New York and 3 yr in Pennsylvania. Rates of species accumulation were similar between the 2 states, and asymptotic, suggesting reasonably adequate sampling intensity. Our results suggest that about 95 to 100 aphid species are present as alates within these agroeco- systems, a surprisingly high percentage (~14 to 18%) of the total aphid richness. Host records suggest that 61% of the alate aphid species we collected from pan traps placed within snap bean fields were dispersing through this agroecosystem, originating from woody plants in the surrounding landscape. We compiled this information with a recent study of aphid species composition from peach orchards and an exhaustive inspection of museum samples, and present an updated list of the aphid species in Pennsylva- nia.
