Stekolshchikov & Mikhail V. Kozlov Stekolshchikov, A. V.& Kozlov, M. V.2012: Distribution records of aphids (He- miptera: Phylloxeroidea, Aphidoidea) associated with main forest-forming trees in Northern Europe. — Entomol. Fennica 23: 206–214. We report records of 25 species of aphids collected from four species of woody plants (Pinus sylvestris, Picea abies, Betula pubescens and B. pendula)at50 study sites in Northern Europe, located from 59° to 70° N and from 10° to 60° E. Critical evaluation of earlier publications demonstrated that in spite of the obvi- ous limitations of our survey, the obtained information substantially contributed to the knowledge of the distribution of aphids in North European Russia, includ- ing Murmansk oblast (103 species recorded to date), Republic of Karelia (58 spe- cies), Arkhangelsk oblast (37 species), Vologda oblast (17 species) and Republic of Komi (29 species). We confirm the occurrence of Cinara nigritergi in South- ern Karelia; Pineus cembrae, Cinara pilosa and Monaphis antennata are for the first time recorded in Norway. A.

The current classification includes two tribes: the Chaitophorini associated with deciduous trees and shrubs, and Siphini that feed on monocotyledonous plants. We present the first phylogenetic OPEN ACCESS hypothesis for the subfamily, based on molecular and morphological datasets.

Biosystematics of Gall Aphids (Aphididae, Homoptera) of Western Himalaya, India
Proc. Indian Acad. Sci. (Anim. Sci.). V,,1. 96. No. 5. September 1987. pp. 561·-572. L Printed in India. Biosystematics of gall aphids (Aphididae, Homoptera) of western Himalaya, India S CHAKRABARTI Biosysternatics Research Unit. Department of Zoology. University of Kalyani, Kalyani 741 235, Iridin Abstract. Garhwal and Kumaun ranges of Himalaya include 250 odd species of aphids infesting a number of agricultural and forest plants. Out of these only 52 species (20':/0) are found to be gall formers. Majority of these gall aphids 161~0) are indigenous. Except 4 species which produce true galls on stems, all other species are known to produce leaf fold or leaf roll or leaf base galls. In general, the gall forming aphid species arc heteroecious i.e. alternate between their primary and secondary hosts in different periods of the year. However, a few have been found to be autoecious i.e. monophagous. These aphids are also highly polymorphic in nature. Unless morphs from both of their primary and secondary hosts are available their identities in some cases arc difficult. It has been observed that the morphology of aphid galls, karyomorphology, host association, life cycle pattern and natural enemies (both predators and parasites) help in the identity of such aphids more precisely, particularly in the closely related species complexes. Keywords. Gad aphids: gall formation; gall morphology; Life cycle: host association; cytogenetics: predators; parasites: Western Himalaya. 1. Introduction Aphids or plant lice, a homopteran insect group occupy a special status among the plant pests particularly due to their special mode of reproduction. They damage the plants directly through sucking up of the plant sap and there by inflicting several symptoms on the plant surface of which plant galls are very important. -

Khmelnitsky St. 15, Kyiv, 01030, Ukraine. (Email: [email protected]) Abstract In Kyiv and the Kyiv region (Ukraine) during 2015-2017, 47 species of aphids (Aphididae) were found on 18 native species of plants-phanerophytes and for 9 invasive plant species, 14 aphid species were found. Native species of plants-phanerophytes were visited by 19 species of ants (Formicidae) and invasive plant species by 16 species of ants. Only one aphid species (Aphis craccivora Koch) found on invasive plant species was invasive. Most species of invasive phanerophytes are not very attractive for ants, since they are practically not populated by aphids (Acer negundo, Amorpha fruticosa). Some tree species are inhabited by aphids only at the beginning of their life cycle (Padus serotina). Only some species of invasive plants (Quercus rubra, Salix fragilis) can be infested with aphids throughout their life cycle, and accordingly, are visited by ants.

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. -

A Taxonomic, Ecologic and Economic Study of Ohio Aphididae
THE OHIO JOURNAL OF SCIENCE VOL. XXIV JANUARY, 1924 No. 1 A TAXONOMIC, ECOLOGIC AND ECONOMIC STUDY OF OHIO APHIDID^E.* THOMAS LEE GUYTON The Ohio State University TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction 1 Acknowledgment 3 Taxonomy 3 Ecology 19 Economic Importance of the Aphididae 26 INTRODUCTION. The Aphididae constitute a very interesting group of insects. From a biological point of view their peculiar mode of reproduc- tion, together with their complicated life cycle give them special interest among insects. The taxonomy of the family is very much complicated because of the great variation of forms which occur even within the same species. The annual loss occasioned by the feeding habits of the family places the group in a major position economically. The author began the study of the family in the summer of 1915 while a student at Ohio State University, Lake Laboratory, Cedar Point, Ohio. Since that time much time has been spent in collecting, mounting and identifying species, together with field work in study and control of several destructive species. Special study was made of the life cycle of Macrosiphum solanifoUi for one season while the author was employed as an assistant at Ohio Agricultural Experiment Station. In this study attention was given to the seasonal change of host plants of this species and factors which seemed to affect migration. Collections were followed with color notes of the species. In addition to the Ohio forms studied, over two hundred species * Dissertation presented in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of the Ohio State University. -
Chemical Ecology and Sociality in Aphids: Opportunities and Directions
Journal of Chemical Ecology https://doi.org/10.1007/s10886-018-0955-z REVIEW ARTICLE Chemical Ecology and Sociality in Aphids: Opportunities and Directions Patrick Abbot 1 & John Tooker2 & Sarah P. Lawson3 Received: 8 January 2018 /Revised: 13 March 2018 /Accepted: 27 March 2018 # Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature 2018 Abstract Aphids have long been recognized as good phytochemists. They are small sap-feeding plant herbivores with complex life cycles that can involve cyclical parthenogenesis and seasonal host plant alternation, and most are plant specialists. Aphids have distinctive traits for identifying and exploiting their host plants, including the expression of polyphenisms, a form of discrete phenotypic plasticity characteristic of insects, but taken to extreme in aphids. In a relatively small number of species, a social polyphenism occurs, involving sub-adult Bsoldiers^ that are behaviorally or morphologically specialized to defend their nestmates from predators. Soldiers are sterile in many species, constituting a form of eusociality and reproductive division of labor that bears striking resemblances with other social insects. Despite a wealth of knowledge about the chemical ecology of non-social aphids and their phytophagous lifestyles, the molecular and chemoecological mechanisms involved in social polyphenisms in aphids are poorly understood. We provide a brief primer on aspects of aphid life cycles and chemical ecology for the non-specialists, and an overview of the social biology of aphids, with special attention to chemoecological perspectives. We discuss some of our own efforts to characterize how host plant chemistry may shape social traits in aphids. As good phytochemists, social aphids provide a bridge between the study of insect social evolution sociality, and the chemical ecology of plant-insect interactions. -
