Additions and amendments to “Aphids on the World’s Plants”

“…On p. 325, the species listed and keyed as "Blanchardaphis sp." under Cuphea has been described as Impatientinum paranaense de Carvalho, Cardoso & Lazzari, 2004 Rakauskas (2007;see above), which will key out to Aphis oenotherae on p. 682. A notable omission from the list of aphids under Photinia (= Heteromeles) arbutifolia on p. 729 is the aphid known as Prociphilus caryae arbutifoliae, which forms spring colonies on this commonly cultivated shrub in western USA.…”

“…. This aphid lives on Cuphea calophylla in the Brazilian state of Parana(de Carvalho et al 2004). On p. 528, under Holcus lanatus, "graminum ssp."…”

Contribución al conocimiento de Aphididae y Phylloxeridae (Hemiptera: Sternorrhyncha) de Panamá

“…; Lizerius cermelii, Microparsus brasiliensis, M. vignaphilus y Utamphorophora commelinensis, que en Panamá deben estar en la parte septentrional de su área de distribución; Impatientinum americanum, que debe estar en la parte meridional de su área de distribución, aunque otra especie del género se ha descrito de Brasil (Carvalho et al 2004); y por último Mexicallis panamensis, Mexicallis quirosae (ambas panameñas), Stegophylla mugnozae y Tuberculatus mexicanus, que son especies propias de Quercus (género muy diversifi cado en México, con una rica y variada afi dofauna asociada) y que deben estar también en la parte meridional de su área de distribución, aunque pudiera ser que alguna de ellas llegara hasta las sierras de Colombia en las que crecen los robles.…”

A new aphid genus and species (Hemiptera: Aphididae) from Argentina onMulinum(Apiales: Apiaceae)

“…It is distinguished from Impatientinum species by the extensive dorsal sclerotization present in both apterous and alate females of this genus (Remaudière 1981, Carvalho et al 2004.…”

“…Even fewer can be considered indigenous to South America as this part of the world has been less exposed to natural aphid invasions from the Nearctic subregion than Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean. Based on data provided by Nieto Nafría et al (2002), Carvalho et al (2004), Blackman & Eastop (2006), Foottit et al (2006), andNieto Nafría et al (2007) , 35 species and one subspecies apparently indigenous to South America are as follows.…”
