Studies Of Aphidoidea (Homoptera) On Wild Herbs In Shanxi Of China

On the basis of reading a great deal of reference papers, I summarized the development status on Aphids Taxonomy and Biology, and discussed the meaning of studying aphid-variety on wild herbage in shanxi.By adopting the method of Compare-Morphology, I identified the 136 species which were collected in Jinzhong, Jinnan, Jindongnan, Lvliang and Xinzhou area.About 44 species belonged to 24 genuses of 3 families were named, including 1 new record Genus, 11 new records , 2 new subspecies.They were: Nasonovia Mordvilko ; Aphis (Aphis) sumire Moritsu,1949 Aphis (Aphis) violae Schouteden,1900 Aphis proffti (Borner, 1942) , Myzus (Myzus) cerasi (Fabticius,1775) Myzus (Myzus) borealis Ossiannilsson, 1 959, Myzus (Myzus) padellus Hille Ris Lambers & Rogerson, 1946 , Myzus (Nectarosiphon) ascalonicus Doncaster, 1946 . Aulacorthum (Aulacorthum) speyeri B6rner,1939 Cavariella archangelicae (Scopoli,1763), Cavariella intermedia Hillwe Ris Lambers, 1969, Nasonovia (Kakimia) saxifragae (Doncaster & Stroyan, 1952); Aphis fabae ssp.n Macrosiphum clematifoliae shansiensis ,ssp.n. I particularly described the species and provided the key to aphids on herbage in Shanxi ,also portrayed the new taxonomic units .
