The check-list of species in the Tribe Aphidini (Hemiptera, Aphididae: Aphidinae) recorded to date from the Iberian Peninsula and Balearic Isles is presented, 139 species are listed. A list of the countries (Andorra, Spain and Portugal) and provinces (Spanish) or districts (Portuguese) where each species and subspecies is known is also included. Five species are mentioned for the first time in Iberian-Balearic territory: Aphis callunae Theobald, A. comosa (Börner)
IntroductionTo date, 142 aphid species belonging to the Tribe Aphidini Latreille, 1802 (Hemiptera, Aphididae) in the taxonomical sense of Remaudière & Remaudière (1997), have been recorded from the IberianBalearic territory, with 13 species recorded from Andorra (Seco Fernández et al., 1998), 70 from continental Portugal (Ilharco, 1996;Aldryhim & Khalil, 1996;Ilharco, 2002) and 135 from peninsular Spain and the Balearic Isles (Nieto Nafría et al., 1984;Blackman & Eastop, 1984;Stroyan, 1984;Nieto Nafría et al. 1986;Meliá Masiá, 1986;Arcos & Cabello, 1988;Nieto Nafría et al., 1987;Mier Durante et al., 1989;Nieto Nafría et al., 1990a;Nieto Nafría et al., 1990b;Meliá Masiá, 1991;Nieto Nafría et al., 1991;Tizado Morales, 1991;Tizado Morales & Nieto Nafría, 1991;Meliá Masiá, 1995;Mier Durante et al., 1996;García Prieto & Sanchís Segovia, 1998;Michelena et al., 1998;Meliá Masiá, 2003).Within the framework of the research programme on Iberian-Balearic aphid fauna Nieto Nafría et al., 2003), we have reviewed the specimens belonging to the subtribe Aphidini (in the taxonomical sense according to Remaudière & Remaudière, 1997) in the aphid collection of Leon University [Department of Animal Biology], as well as the bibliographical references for specimens in other collections, some of which we have been able to study.
ResultsAs a result of the study:(a) 5 species are included in the Iberian-Balearic check-list of Aphidini: Aphis callunae Theobald, 1915, A. comosa (Börner, 1950
THE IBERIAN-BALEARIC CHECK-LIST OF SPECIES AND SUBSPECIES BELONGING TO THE TRIBE APHIDINIThe provinces (in Spain) and districts (in Portugal) where they are known are listed. The national, provincial or district first record is indicated with an asterisk (*). For species with two or more subspecies the list of provinces and districts where the species was recorded includes those related to all its subspecies and also those corresponding to records without reference to subspecies.The Spanish provinces and Portuguese districts are given in Spanish and Portuguese, respectively. Different contributions for several species (on faunistics, morphology, taxonomy, bionomics or nomenclature) are given at the end of the list in "notes on the check-list".
