A new genus, Codonopsimyzus, and two new species of macrosiphine aphids (Hemiptera: Aphididae) from Korea

Abstract

Codonopsimyzus sasammi, gen.nov., sp.nov., and Aulacorthum ligularicola, sp.nov., are described from specimens collected in South Korea on Codonopsis lanceolata Trautv. (Campanulaceae) and Ligularia jischeri Tucz. (Asteraceae), respectively. Both species are illustrated with the biometric data for apterous viviparous females and alate viviparous females. The host plants and a brief description of the biology are also provided for each species. A revised key to the species of the genus Aulacorthum Mordvilko in Korea and a key to Korean genera of macrosiphine aphids related to Codonopsimyzus, sp.nov., are presented.

Updated Checklist of Food Plants of Macrosiphini (Aphididae: Hemiptera) in India–3

“…Additionally, the researches on aphid taxonomy as well as their host plants are continued with the description of new taxa, the modified status of others, and the publication of other nomenclatural decisions. In the present compilation, attempts have been made to correct these errors in the scientific names of the aphids following recent taxonomic literatures [1,[3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13] and for plants, http://www.arsgrin.gov and http://www.theplantlist.org (version 1.1). At several places, their synonymies were also mentioned.…”

Taxonomic review of the genus Aulacorthum (Sternorrhyncha: Aphididae) for the Korean peninsula, with the description of one new species

“…The genus Aulacorthum Mordvilko 1914 is a Palaearctic and Oriental genus with 40 species known in the world (Remaudière & Remaudière 1997; Lee 2002; Eastop & Blackman 2005; Lee & Kwon 2006) and includes some polyphagous aphids such as Aulacorthum solani (Kaltenbach 1843) and Aulacorthum magnoliae (Essig & Kuwana 1918) (Blackman & Eastop 2000) as important agricultural pests. They are not host‐alternating, and mostly monoecious holocyclic.…”
