APHIDS ON THE WORLD’S TREES

 

An Identification and Information Guide

 

 

 

This internet version of the work that we published in 1994 has been fully revised and updated, incorporating many nomenclatural changes and more than 300 species described since that date. We hope that you will find it easy to navigate around this site, and to find the information that you are looking for and the keys that you need to identify an aphid on any particular tree species. A website of course has certain advantages over a book in making information more accessible, but also some disadvantages, so that for those that prefer a printed version we have made it  possible to print out any part of the text as required.  For regular users, here are direct links to: HOST LISTS AND KEYS and accounts of the APHIDS
