SYSTEMATIC TREATMENT OF APHID GENERA
(in alphabetical order) L
Two North American oak-feeding
species with a short antennal terminal process, indented anal plate and
rounded cauda. Apterae have the head
and thorax fused and an extensively sclerotised tergum, and alatae have wings
strongly resembling those of Patchia,
with thickly bordered veins and scale-like imbrication of the wing membrane.
Quednau (1999) reviewed and illustrated both species. Lachnochaitophorus
obscurus (Tissot)
Apterae are mid- to dark brown or almost black; BL 1.6-2.0 mm. Alatae are dark reddish brown with dusky
wings, with dark dorsal abdominal cross-bands and wing veins thickly bordered
with fuscous. In small colonies on
twigs and leaf petioles of young Quercus
(nigra, michauxii), attended by ants, or in small numbers on undersides
of leaves, where the alatae look very conspicuous against the green of the
leaf. In south-eastern Lachnochaitophorus
querceus Granovsky
(= Patchia winforii Miller)
Apterae are dark brown to black, "almost shiny"; BL 1.7-1.9
mm. Alatae are dark brown to black,
with black abdminal cross-bands and wing veins broadly and heavily bordered
with fuscous. In small colonies,
mainly on leaf petioles and young bark of tender one-year-old shoots, of Quercus rubra (= borealis) and Q. velutina,
and also reported forming dense clusters on twigs and leaf petioles of Q. palustris (Miller 1933b, as Patchia winforii). Closely attended by the ant Crematogaster lineolata, which may
construct shelters over the colonies.
In north-eastern
About
15 palaearctic and one nearctic species
of medium to large long-legged aphids, the alatae usually having pigmented
wings, mostly associated with Fagaceae and attended by ants. It is a taxonomically difficult genus, as
indicated under L. roboris. Accounts are available for central Lachnus
acutihirsutus Kumar & Burkhardt Apterae have black head and thorax and
brownish black abdomen, with a smooth membranous conical protrusion in the
centre of the dorsal abdomen; BL 2.8-4.4 mm.
Alatae have forewings pigmented except for two large clear triangles
on basal half and a small clear spot between pterostigma and RS.

Fagus sylvatica, causing feeding
damage by rupture of the cambium, and also on twigs and branches of mostly
evergreen species of Quercus, since

yunlongensis Zhang Known only from apterous viviparae (BL c.
4.6 mm) collected on Salix sp. in
One narrow-bodied species differing from Atheroides by the position of the
siphunculi (on abdominal tergite 6, as opposed to abdominal tergite 5 in Atheroides) and by lack of a dorsal

of all morphs.

greyish green (see influential
points.com/Gallery); BL 1.6-2.8 mm. Alatae have dark transverse bars on

Chaitophorinae: Chaitophorini |
A
genus for one species on Populus,
differing from Chaitophorus in the
very short ANT PT, sparse short needle-like dorsal hairs, crater-like
siphunculi without reticulate sculpturing, and semicircular cauda. The alatae have thickly fuscous-bordered
wing veins like the North American Chaitophorus
populicola (which also has a rounded cauda). Molecular work (T. Liu et al. 2022) now questions the
validity of Lambersaphis as a genus
separate from Chaitophorus.

Aphidinae: Macrosiphini |
A genus for one little-known
North American species with flattened, mostly spatulate dorsal hairs, a
reticulate dorsal cuticle and clavate siphunculi. The sclerites of the spinal
hairs on abdominal tergites 6-8 are developed into rugose conical processes
(less developed in alatae).
Landisaphis davisi Knowlton &
Ma (Fig.37a) Colour of apterae in life is unrecorded,
BL 0.9-1.4 mm. Described from apterae collected on undersides of leaves of Chenopodium album, although there are
subsequent records from Brassicaceae (Lepidium
perfoliatum, Descurainia sophia;
BMNH collection), and it has been reared on Capsella bursa-pastoris (A. Jensen, pers. comm). Previously only known from the state of

Three palaearctic and one

Linosiphon
asperulophagum Holman Apterae are green or pinkish with shiny
brown-black dorsum, head and basal antennal joints, and dark siphunculi; BL
1.7-2.3 mm. Alatae are as yet undescribed; a specimen in the BMNH collection
(leg. H.L.G. Stroyan) has ANT III with 5-6 small rhinaria, and dorsal abdomen

cross bands and large marginal and postsiphuncular sclerites. On undersides of leaves of Galium spp. and Asperula odorata. This species has been confused with L. asperulophagum but has a shorter R
IV+V and longer HT II, the ratio between these two providing a reliable
discriminant. In

Aphidinae: Macrosiphini |
About 12 mostly western
palaearctic species associated with Brassicaceae, related to Brevicoryne and characterised by
weakly developed antennal tubercles, apterae with rather short antennae which
are almost always without secondary rhinaria, a sclerotic but often weakly
pigmented tergum, and weakly swollen siphunculi. Subgenus Lipaphidiella is distinguished by the presence of a conical,
rather scabrous, supracaudal process. Accounts are available by
Lipaphis

erysimi (Kaltenbach) Apterae are yellowish green, dirty green or

field Brassica crops. In northern
Europe, and probably in western Siberia and Central Asia, but its
distribution needs clarification due to past confusion with L. pseudobrassicae. Monoecious
holocyclic with apterous males. The name has been commonly applied to the
world-wide crucifer pest, L.
pseudobrassicae (q.v.), but they differ in karyotype, and Ronquist &
Ĺhman (1990) showed in laboratory trials that L. erysimi performed poorly in comparison with L. pseudobrassicae on Brassica oilseed crop plants. 2n=10.

originated from Thalictrum sp. An
aptera from Rosa described as himalayensis (David et al. 1971a) is included in the Rosa key on the basis of David et al.’s description, although it
seems to be a different species with shorter siphunculi and higher ratio of R
IV+V to HT II (see Remaudičre 1993). L.
