The detail investigation of the aphid fauna of the Kurgan Province (Russia) was started only at the end of the first decade of the XXI century. Until that time only brief and incomplete information about aphids living in the region had been published. The aim of this study was combining and critical review of previously published information on aphids of the region (in- cluding data in specialised applied publications) with addition of original new data. Based on summarised data, a conclusion was done that the aphid fauna of the region includes 113 species (from 48 genera), 31 of them have been recorded for this territory for the first time. Планомерные исследования фауны тлей в Курганской области России были начаты лишь в конце первого десятилетия XXI-го века и к настоящему времени в литературе имеются только краткие и неполные сведения о тлях обитающих в области. Целью на- стоящей статьи было объединение и критическая оценка сведений о тлях Курганской области, опубликованных в разрозненных, главным образом прикладных работах. Эти сведения были дополнены нашими оригинальными данными, полученными на осно- вании сделанных в области коллекционных сборов. Это позволило получить наиболее полный список видов тлей обитающих в Курганской области, который в настоящее вре- мя включает 113 видов, относящихся к 48 родам, при этом 31 вид впервые отмечается для Курганской области.
