TL;DR: The Macrosiphini is one of the 2 tribes of the subfamily Aphidinae (Aphididae: Hemiptera) containing about 2166 species/subspecies assigned to 242 genera, and infesting hundreds of plant species belonging to several families.
Abstract: The Macrosiphini is one of the 2 tribes of the subfamily Aphidinae (Aphididae: Hemiptera) containing about 2166 species/subspecies assigned to 242 genera. Out of these, only 96 genera and 374 species are recorded from India infesting hundreds of plant species belonging to several families. The food plants of Indian Macrosiphini is catalogued alphabetically (aphid species-wise) in three parts. In this contribution, food plants of only 25 genera and 109 species of aphids belonging to the tribe Macrosiphini (Acutosiphon to Dysaphis) are catalogued. These aphids feeds on 400 plant species belonging to 79 families. Most suffered families are Asteraceae (81 species) followed by Rosaceae (35 species), Fabaceae (27 species), Brassicaceae (22 species), Lamiaceae (18 species) and Solanaceae (17 species). Among them, several species are crops of agricultural and horticultural importance. The update checklist of food plants of rest of Macrosiphini will be dealt in successive articles.

Abstract: A new genus Indoidiopterus, with Capitophorus geranii Chowdhuri et al., as the type-species, and a new species, Eutrichosiphum pyri are described. Twenty-eight other species are reported as new records for the region. These include Dysaphis foeniculus (Theobald), Pleotrichophorus glandulosus (Kaltenbach), Thuleaphis ? amygdalinus (Schouteden), which are recorded for the first time from India. The hitherto undescribed alate viviparous females of Impatientinum impatiense dalhousiensis Verma and the apterous viviparous females of Periphyllus aesculi Hills Ris Lambers are also recorded.
