The above list, taken together with the list of aphids on the similar genus Seriphidium, contains more than 260 species.  This is by far the largest aphid fauna of any plant genus. We have split the key into three parts to make it easier to use.

Master key to aphids on Artemisia and Seriphidium:-

1     ANT tubercles undeveloped or weakly developed, and front of head convex in dorsal view; sometimes ANT tubercles are developed so that they project forward as far as the middle of the head, but then ANT III is without any secondary rhinaria (except in alatiform specimens)

                                                                                                                                       ..…KEY A

-      ANT tubercles developed or with developed processes, so that they project forward further than middle part of head, which is often concave in dorsal view. If the ANT tubercles are low (Microsiphoniella, Artemisaphis and some Obtusicauda and Microsiphum), then ANT III bears at least one rhinarium                                                                                          …..2

2     SIPH tubular, clearly longer than their basal widths, with a subapical zone of polygonal reticulation, consisting of at least a few closed cells                                              ..…KEY B

-      SIPH either very small or well-developed, but if well-developed then they lack polygonal reticulation                                                                                                              .….KEY C
