“…As of 2010 the number of aphid species (Aphididae) cited from Costa Rica was (Villalobos Muller et al, 2010) and later this number increased to 89 (Pérez Hidalgo et al, 2012). With the new records from the present study the number is now species, compared with a total of species reported by Voegtlin et al (2003), and representing 77,8% of the 117 species known in Central America.…”

“…Pérez Hidalgo et al, 2009). In tropical regions aphid diversity increases with altitude (Eastop, 1998) and in mountainous countries such as Costa Rica a wide range of altitudes results in a diversity of microclimates, which in turn facilitates the successful establishment of new aphid species (Pérez Hidalgo et al, 2012). The study of this ever-changing aphid fauna is essential, since it contributes to our knowledge of their distribution and taxonomy, as well as strategies for the management and control of pest species (Ortego et al, 2004).…”

Aphids were collected from 39 locations throughout Costa Rica, representing a wide altitudinal range, and from both crops and native plants. In total, 48 species of aphids were identified, associated with 62 families and 111 species of plants, many of these representing new host plant records. Aphis nasturtii Kaltenbach, 1843 is reported here for the first time in Central America and Trichosiphonaphis (Xenomyzus) polygoni (van der Goot, 1917) for the first time in Costa Rica. This brings the total number of aphid species known from the country to 91, representing 77,8% of all the known species in Central America.

“…El conocimiento sobre la áfido-fauna costarricense y sus interacciones con las plantas huéspedes antes del año 2002, fueron escasas y solo se conocían pocas especies reportadas para el país, casi todas asociadas a cultivos agrícolas (Calvo, 1978;Chacón, 1980;Gómez, 1987;Hernández y Meneses, 1988;Meneses y Amador, 1988;Meneses et al, 1990). Sin embargo, desde la publicación de la primera lista de especies para Costa Rica (Voegtlin et al, 2003), el trabajo sobre este grupo se incrementó y se ha publicado investigación periódica sobre el tema (Pérez-Hidalgo et al, 2009;Quirós et al, 2009;Zamora-Mejías et al, 2010b;VillalobosMuller et al, 2010;Pérez-Hidalgo et al, 2012;Zamora-Mejías et. al.…”

“…Son pocos los ejemplos de especies de áfidos nativas de América Central (Nieto-Nafría et al, 2013;Pérez-Hidalgo et al, 2012), ya que la mayoría son el resultado de introducciones por actividades humanas (Holman, 1974;Smith y Cermeli, 1979;Meneses et al, 1990;Étienne, 2005;Evans y Halbert, 2007;Quirós et al, 2009) o por invasión natural del hemisferio norte y sur (Villalobos-Muller et al, 2010), por ende, el ensamblaje costarricense de especies de áfidos refleja esta situación (Voegtlin et al, 2003;Pérez-Hidalgo et al, 2009;Quirós et al, 2009;Villalobos-Muller et al, 2010;Zamora-Mejías et al, 2010b;Pérez-Hidalgo et al, 2012).…”

Aphids represent a major problem for many plant species, due to their ability to serve as pathogen vectors; the use of parasitoids as biological control agents might be a suitable option for long term control of their populations. The objective of this study was to prepare a taxonomic key in order to identify parasitoids and hyperparasitoids of aphids obtained in Costa Rica. In total, during 2008 to 2015, 3009 hymenopteran parasitoids were reared from 25 species of aphids, 2832 (94%) were primary parasitoids and 175 (6%) were hyperparasitoids. A taxonomic key was made for the identification of nine species of primary parasitoids, Braconidae-Aphidiinae, Aphelinidae, Eulophidae, and six species of hyperparasitoids in five families. In addition, the genus Quadrictonus (Aphidiinae), was included in the key and was reported for the first time in this study in Costa Rica.

IntroductionAphidoidea is a large superfamily containing over 4500 aphid species worldwide (Remaudiere and Remaudiere, 1997;Blackman and Eastop, 2012). The Aphidoidea fauna of Turkey is one of the most diverse and fascinating in the Eurasian region, and studies about Turkey's aphid fauna have been conducted since the beginning of the 20th century. Initial studies pertaining to Turkish aphid fauna were revised by Çanakçıoğlu (1975), who listed 258 aphid species in the book Aphidoidae of Turkey. Following these studies, recent additions to the aphidofauna of Turkey were summarized by Remaudiere et al. (2006), Görür et al. (2012), and Şenol et al. (2014. A total of about 500 species in 141 genera and 3 families have been presented for the Turkish aphidofauna.In addition to faunistic studies, researchers have realized that during the last 2 decades some species have changed their native habitats due to fluctuations in the biotic and abiotic conditions that influence them. These species are referred to as invasive (Liu et al., 2010). Aphids are considered an important invasive species group due to their small size, high fecundity, short development time, cyclical parthenogenetic reproduction, host preferences, and close participation with their host plants (Mondor and Addicott, 2007). Moreover, increased global trade and recent climatic changes have resulted in the introduction and establishment of invasive aphid species into the different regions of the world as well as into Turkey. Turkey is in the Mediterranean Basin of the Palearctic region; only 2.4% of Turkey aphid fauna is native to Turkey (Akyıldırım et al., 2013). The aphid species that are considered invasive to the Turkish fauna originated from the Nearctic, Neotropic, Oriental, and Ethiopian regions. The objectives of this study are to give information about new records and invasive aphid species for the Turkish aphid fauna. Materials and methodsThis study was conducted in the Inner Western Anatolian Subregion (Kütahya, Afyonkarahisar, and Uşak provinces) of Turkey from April 2012 to July 2013. Samples (indicating each separate collection from different colonies, whether from the same host plant or different host plants) were processed in a laboratory according to the methods of Martin (1983). Processed samples were identified following Eastop (2006, 2012) and Quednau (1999Quednau ( , 2003, and their taxonomic statuses were checked in accordance with recently evaluated sources and literature (Favret, 2013;Nafría, 2013). Identified samples were deposited in the
