The paper presents distributional data on the aphids (Hemiptera: Aphidinea) occurring in the area of the Ojców National Park (Ojcowski Park Narodowy, OPN), Wyżyna Krakowsko- Wieluńska (Kraków-Wieluń Upland, SE Poland); UTM DA15 and DA16. The inventory of aphid species, their host plants, as well as ecological and chorological characteristics are given. The taxonomic structure, the chorological structure as well as ecological structure and trophic relationships of the aphids of OPN are given and discussed. The material for this study has been collected during years 2003–2006. The voucher specimens are deposited in the entomological collections of the Department of Zoology, University of Silesia in Katowice. The number of 250 aphids species, including the published data from a previous research, not confirmed in this study, is given. Three species –Aphis lilago, Macrosiphum albifrons and Cavariella salicicola have been recorded for the first time in Poland. The 24 aphid species have been recorded for the first time in the region of Kraków-Wieluń Upland. Both inventory and faunological research confirmed high diversity and mosaic character of the Ojców National Park habitats. Numerous habitats are very limited in size, also some aphids host plants are present in limited numbers which is a factor strongly influencing the composition and commonality of aphid species. Various habitats, e.g. rock ledges covered with plant community Festucetum pallentis, even if very small-sized presented the highest numbers of aphid species, also xerothermic swards Origano-Brachypodietum and termophilous shrubs Pruno-ligustretum and the community of the border between associations Geranion sanguinei and Potentilio albae-Quercion petraeae presented high number of aphid species. The beech forests Dentario glandulosae-Fagetum and Fagus sylvatica-Cruciata glabra and alder forests of the Alno-Ulmion association presented the lowest number of aphid species. The very high number of aphid species was also recorded in the anthropogenic ruderal and segetal plant assemblages. The reason for this is the character of Ojców National Park habitats, strongly affected by human presence and activity, and the location of the Park, surrounded by the intensive agriculture landscape, and close vicinity of Kraków agglomeration and neighbouring industrialized areas. The analysis of ecological composition of aphid species present in the area of the OPN displays the prevailing ratio of monophagous and strictly oligophagous (oligophags of 1st degree) species. This may prove that the area still preserves a rather natural character. On the other hand, the increasing number of polyphagous species records may be related to heavy influence from surrounding habitats and strong anthropopression. Similar results were obtained after analyses of other ecological factors and chrological elements. The origin of the fauna of Ojców National Park was investigated. It is relatively young, originated after the glacier retreat, during the Holocene. Primeval fauna of the OPN reached the area using four migratory routes. These are: Moravian – from the west, Pannonian- Transcarpathian – from the south, Podolian-Volynian – from the east, and Scepusian – from the east. These routets were influenced by physiographic conditions of the area, i.e. shape and depths of the valleys. Recently, the composition of aphid fauna of the OPN has been strongly influenced by human activity.

Aphids are characterized by particularly tight relationship with their host plants; nearly 90% of aphid species are monophags or narrowly specialized oligophags. Most aphid species are associated with angiosperms, where they feed on all parts of plants, including subterranean parts and bark. Contrary to other memebers of the order Hemiptera, aphids have conquered mostly the temperate zones of the northern hempisphere, although they are also present in the tropical, subtropical, and temperate zones of the southern hemisphere. Viewed from the angle of human farming system, aphids are considered as dangerous pests attacking crop plants, since they transmit viral diseases and cause deformation of shootings and leaves, as well as the development of galls. However, in general environmental terms, aphids are a significant link in all ecosystems, since they play an important role serving as food for many species of insects (including rare and protected ones): beetles (Coleoptera), various species of Hymenoptera, flies (Diptera) that belong to the Syrphidae family, various species of Hemiptera that belong to the Anthocoridae family, and also spiders and birds. Furthermore, the importance of the aphid species that excrete honeydew cannot be overlooked, since they are important not only for ants and melitophagous insects, but also for man. So far, 706 aphid species have been identified within Poland’s territory, which constitutes almost 50% of the European aphidofauna (Węgierek & WojciechoWski, 2004; osiadacz & Wieczorek, 2006). This number ascertains that the aphidofauna of Poland is very well, although not evenly, researched. The fact that there exist no faunistic and faunological studies which would characterize the fauna of particular regions of Poland is a serious flaw as far as the knowledge of the country’s biodiversity is concerned. The regions that have been most thoroughly investigated include: Masurian Lakeland (Pojezierze Mazurskie) and Greater Poland-Kuyavia Lowland (Nizina Wielkopolsko-Kujawska), where over 450 aphid species have been identified. The southern part of Poland has been less thoroughly investigated, apart from the northern part of the Kraków-Częstochowa Upland (Wyżyna Krakowsko-Częstochowska), where 398 taxons of aphids have been discovered (hałaj & Węgierek 1998). As for its southern part, together with the Ojców National Park (OPN), it had never been extensively examined despite a long history of faunistic investigations. The investigation of aphidofauna in the OPN shall provide an insight into biodiversity of an area under special environmental protection, i.e. a national park. It is particularly important in connection with the special character of the OPN, due to constant presence and activity of man within its area (Partyka, 1990). On the basis of information concerning

Munis Entomology & Zoology, 8 (1): 262-266] ABSTRACT: A new aphid species, Brachycaudus (Appelia) shwartzi (Borner) was recorded for the first time in Egypt during the present work. This species was heavily infested leaves of apricot, Prunus armeniaca and peaches Prunus persica during May, 2006 at El-Tahrir, El- Behera Governorate. Identification procedure was confirmed by Prof. R. Blackman at British Museum, in London. Brief verbal and drafting description for alate viviparous female of this new recorded species was carried out. Moreover a simple bracket key was constructed to identify the three recorded species of genus Brachycaudus in Egypt. KEY WORDS: Brachycaudus, Aphididae, Egypt. Family Aphididae is one of the most important groups of Aphidoidea which contain more than 4400 aphid species placed in 493 genera, and is considered as one of the most prolific groups of insects. They are capable not only rapid increase of population though parthenogenesis but also transmission of plant viral diseases and secreting honey dew which become suitable media for sooty moulds, so they are regarded as one of the most important groups of agricultural pests.

  • The Phytophagous Insect Fauna of Scotch Thistle, Onopordum Acanthium L., in Southeastern Washington and Northwestern Idaho
    Proceedings of the X International Symposium on Biological Control of Weeds 233 4-14 July 1999, Montana State University, Bozeman, Montana, USA Neal R. Spencer [ed.]. pp. 233-239 (2000) The Phytophagous Insect Fauna of Scotch Thistle, Onopordum acanthium L., in Southeastern Washington and Northwestern Idaho J. D. WATTS1 and G. L. PIPER Department of Entomology, Washington State University, Pullman, Washington 99164-6382, USA Abstract Scotch thistle, Onopordum acanthium L. (Asteraceae: Cardueae), a plant of Eurasian origin, has become an increasingly serious pasture, rangeland, wasteland, and roadside weed in the western United States. Prior to the implementation of a biological control agent acquisition and release program, a domestic survey was carried out at 16 sites in five southeastern Washington and northwestern Idaho counties between 1995-96 to ascertain the plant’s existing entomofauna. Thirty phytophagous insect species in six orders and 17 families were found to be associated with the thistle. Hemiptera, Homoptera, and Coleoptera were the dominant ectophagous taxa, encompassing 50, 20, and 17% of all species found, respectively. The family Miridae contained 60% of the hemipteran fauna. Onopordum herbivores were polyphagous ectophages, and none of them reduced popula- tions of or caused appreciable damage to the plant. The only insect that consistently fed and reproduced on O. acanthium was the aphid Brachycaudus cardui (L.). A notable gap in resource use was the absence of endophages, particularly those attacking the capitula, stems, and roots. Consequently, the importation of a complex of nonindigenous, niche- specific natural enemies may prove to be a highly rewarding undertaking.

  • Aphids (Hemiptera: Aphidoidea) Associated with Native Trees in Malta (Central Mediterranean)
    BULLETIN OF THE ENTOMOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF MALTA (2009) Vol. 2 : 81-93 Aphids (Hemiptera: Aphidoidea) associated with native trees in Malta (Central Mediterranean) David MIFSUD1, Nicolás PÉREZ HIDALGO2 & Sebastiano BARBAGALLO3 ABSTRACT. In the present study 25 aphid species which are known to be associated with trees in the Maltese Islands are recorded. Of these, 18 species represent new records; these include Aphis craccivora, Brachyunguis tamaricis, Cavariella aegopodii, Chaitophorus capreae, C. populialbae, Cinara cupressi, C. maghrebica, C. palaestinensis, Essigella californica, Eulachnus rileyi, E. tuberculostemmatus, Hoplocallis picta, Lachnus roboris, Myzocallis schreiberi, Tetraneura nigriabdominalis, Thelaxes suberi, Tinocallis takachihoensis and Tuberolachnus salignus. A number of the above mentioned species alternate hosts between the primary host, being the tree species, and secondary hosts being mainly roots of grasses. The record of Tetraneura ulmi could be incorrect and could possibly be referred to T. nigriabdominalis. Most of the aphid species recorded in the present study have restricted distribution in the Maltese Islands due to the rarity of their host trees. This is particularly so for those aphids associated with Populus, Quercus, Salix and Ulmus whose conservation should be addressed. INTRODUCTION Aphids belong to the suborder Sternorrhyncha within the order Hemiptera, along with scale insects, jumping plant-lice, or psylloids, and whiteflies. The Aphidoidea is predominantly a northern temperate group, richest in species in North America, Europe, and Central and Eastern Asia. A general feature of the life cycle of aphids is their parthenogenetic generations exploiting active growing plant parts and a sexual generation resulting in an overwintering diapause egg. The known world fauna of aphids consists of approximately 4400 described species placed in nearly 500 currently accepted genera.
