Ulmus                                         Elms                                   Ulmaceae

In all, about 75 aphid species are recorded from elms, which are primary hosts for most of the Eriosomatinae (44 species).  For gall formers, Eriosomatinae show remarkably little evidence of host specificity, the recorded host range reflecting geographical distribution rather than host affinities, with the more widely-distributed species such as Eriosome ulmi recorded from Ulmus species native to different parts of the world.   Elm-feeding aphids are therefore all included in a single key as far as possible.  However, at the present time it is not possible to key together all species of the large genus Eriosoma and its close relatives in tribe Eriosomatini (Georgiaphis, Schizoneurella), so these are taken out of the main key and included in separate keys under particular host species, within the host list that follows the main key.
