New Additions to the Aphid (Hemiptera: Aphididae) Fauna of Turkey from Erzurum Province

Abstract

This study was conducted to have an idea about the aphid species of Erzurum province. Thirty aphid species and one subspecies were identified on 26 host plants. Among these species, four species were new records for the Turkey aphid fauna which are Callipterinella tuberculata (von Heyden, 1837); Cinara (Cinara) sitchensis Hottes, 1958; Colopha graminis (Monell, 1882); and Macrosiphum (Macrosiphum) venaefuscae Davis, 1914. With these new records, the number of the aphid species in Turkey aphid fauna was increased to 675 species. Furthermore, Dysaphis(Dysaphis) crataegi aethusae (Börner, 1950) was also determined as new subspecies records for the aphid fauna of Turkey.
