TL;DR: Hitherto unknown alate viviparous femalc of Myzus siegesbeckicola Strand has also been described.
Abstract: This paper accounts for 20 species of Myzus occurring in India. Of these Myzus indicus, Myzus lefroyi, Myzus maculocorpus, Myzus manoji, Myzus meghalayensis are new to science from Eastern India and Myzus siegesbeckicola Strand is new to India. Hitherto unknown alate viviparous femalc of Myzus siegesbeckicola Strand has also been described.

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.

TL;DR: During the spring of 2016, the aphid Myzus mumecola (Matsumura) (Hemiptera: Aphididae) was detected on its preferential host plant, Prunus armeniaca L. (Rosaceae), in Italy, which was the first record of the species in Europe.
Abstract: During the spring of 2016, the aphid Myzus mumecola (Matsumura) (Hemiptera: Aphididae) was detected on its preferential host plant, Prunus armeniaca L. (Rosaceae), in Italy. This was the first record of the species in Europe. Several populations of the aphid have been collected in various apricot orchards in Emilia-Romagna, in the localities of Imola, Campiano, Cesena and Castiglione di Cervia. The species is considered to be an apricot pest in India and East Asia. Details on the morphology, biology and distribution of this aphid species and the damage it causes are given.

TL;DR: Apricot aphid, Myzus mumecola (Matsumura) (Homoptera: Aphididae), was recorded as a new pest of Apricot in Hungary in the spring of 2020 and has quickly become a widespread pest causing significant damage to young apricot trees.
Abstract: Apricot aphid, Myzus mumecola (Matsumura) (Homoptera: Aphididae), was recorded as a new pest of apricot in Hungary in the spring of 2020. Identification was based on morphological and genetical (mitochondrial COI region) characteristics. M. mumecola most likely arrived in Hungary in the last 2–3 years and has quickly become a widespread pest causing significant damage to young apricot trees. Colony development, damage and differences in susceptibility between cultivars are described. The presence of Plum pox virus in M. mumecola samples was detected, and all isolates belonged to the PPV-D subgroup. Illustrations of the most important diagnostic characters of M. mumecola are provided.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors provided an updated checklist of aphids infesting plants belonging to two orders: Cornales and Ericales comprising 2 and 11 families, respectively, in India.
Abstract: The present article provides an updated checklist of aphids (Homoptera: Aphididae) infesting plants belonging to two orders: Cornales and Ericales comprising 2 and 11 families, respectively, in India. Two families of Cornales, the Cornaceae and the Hydrangeaceae are associated with 4 and 9 species of aphids, respectively. Two species, Prociphilus (Prociphilus) cornifoliae Singh, Das and Raychaudhuri, 1977 and Aulacorthum (Aulacorthum) cornaceae Ghosh, 1969 are exclusively associated with Cornaceae while Eumyzus hydrangi Chakrabarti and Bhattacharya, 1985 and Chakrabartiaphis hydrangeae (Chakrabarti and Bhattacharya, 1982) are solely associated with Hydrangeaceae in India. Among the Ericales, plants belonging to 6 families, Balsaminaceae (17 species of aphids), Ericaceae (47 species of aphids), Pentaphylacaceae (14 species of aphids), Primulaceae (20 species of aphids), Symplocaceae (15 species of aphids) and Theaceae (20 species of aphids) are associated with several species of aphids and many of them are highly host specific infesting single species of plants. Total 50 species of plants belonging to these orders are colonised by 96 species of aphids belonging to 42 genera.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors dealt with the association of aphids with the plants belonging to the four orders of fabids eudicot angiosperms, i.e. Cucurbitales, Fabales, Fagales and Rosales recorded in India.
Abstract: The present checklist deals with the association of aphids with the plants belonging to the four orders of nitrogen-fixing clade of fabids eudicot angiosperms, i.e. Cucurbitales, Fabales, Fagales and Rosales recorded in India. Total 294 species of plants of these orders belonging to 124 genera and 13 families are associated with 239 species of aphids put into 102 genera and 7 subfamilies of aphids. The aphids are related with only two families of Cucurbitales, Begoniaceae and Cucurbitaceae. Single species of Begoniaceae and 21 species of Cucurbitaceae are associated with 2 and 25 species of aphids, respectively. Almost 67 species of aphids are associated with 111 species of plants belonging to Fabaceae. Fagales includes 3 families, Betulaceae, Fagaceae and Juglandaceae and 38, 89 and 20 species of aphid use 6, 16 and 3 species of plants of these families, respectively. Among Rosales, maximum species of plants (89 species) of Rosaceae are infested by 166 species of aphids followed by Moraceae (17 species of plants by 27 species of aphids), Urticaceae (13 species of plants by 28 species of aphids), Cannabaceae (6 species of plants by 7 species of aphids), and less than it on Rhamnaceae, Ulmaceae and Elaeagnaceae. Aphis (Aphis) gossypii Glover is highly polyphagous on this clade of eudicots infesting 73 plant species, followed by Aphis (Aphis) spiraecola Patch (36 plant species), Myzus (Nectarosiphon) persicae (Sulzer) (27 plant species), Aphis (Toxoptera) aurantii Boyer de Fonscolombe and Brachycaudus (Brachycaudus) helichrysi (Kaltenbach) (26 plant species each) and Myzus (Myzus) ornatus Laing (25 plant species).

TL;DR: The genera of Australian aphids are described in detail and a reference to a recent revision of the genus and to a detailed description of each species is given where possible.
Abstract: Keys are given for the determination of the families, subfamilies, genera, and the 119 species of aphids known from Australia. The keys are supplemented by 192 figures. The genera of Australian aphids are described in detail and a reference to a recent revision of the genus and to a detailed description of each species is given where possible. A summary of the known host plant range and geographical distribution of each species is given. A few references to recent economic literature are given for those species regarded as pests.
