The aphid fauna of Turkey: An updated checklist

Abstract

This study provides a comprehensive list of Turkey aphid fauna (Hemiptera: Aphididea). A total of 466 species and 12 subspecies belonging to 141 genera and 13 tribes, are listed. The list includes all records from 1903 to 2011. The family of Aphididae comprise the highest number of species (457), followed by Adelgidae (6) and Phylloxeridae (3), respectively. Inside Aphididae, the tribe of Macrosiphini is the richest group with 197 species, whereas the tribe of Cinarini has only one species. The number of aphid species actually reported for Turkey is lower than recorded for neighboring countries, suggesting that further faunistic studies needs to improve informations on this topic

Short Communication: Morphological characterizations of Aphis passeriniana (Del Guercio) (Hemiptera: Aphididae) living on common sage in Turkey

“…The aphid fauna of Turkey has been surveyed extensively starting in the first part of the 20 th century (Trotter 1903). However, the aphid species and host plants in some regions have not been fully established, and as result, it is likely that new and invasive species will be found in Turkey (Görür et al 2012;Şenol et al 2014;2015). In this study, the morphological characterizations of A. passeriniana as an aphid of S. officinalis in Turkey were reported.…”

“…This genus is easily found on shrubs and herbs, never on sedges (Cyperaceae), very rarely on grasses (Poaceae) and less on trees (Blackman and Eastop 2006). About 221 species from Aphis are reported in Europe (Nieto Nafría et al 2017), and 69 species are in Turkey (Görür et al 2012). In addition, this genus is mostly found in the northern hemisphere, and some native species also found in South America, New Zealand and Australia (Blackman and Eastop 2006;2018).…”

DNA barcoding of black cherry aphid Myzus cerasi (Fabricus, 1775) (Hemiptera: Aphididae) populations collected from Prunus avium and Prunus cerasus

“…In Turkey, a total of 466 species and 12 subspecies belonging to 141 genera and 13 tribes are listed. The family Aphididae comprises the highest number of species (457), followed by Adelgidae (6) and Phylloxeridae (3), respectively (Görür et al, 2012). Myzus cerasi causes the leaves to curl and also transmits several nonpersistent viruses of nonhost plants including bean yellow mosaic virus, celery mosaic virus, onion yellow dwarf virus, and potato virus Y (Blackman and Eastop, 1984;Bokx and Piron, 1990).…”

Cinara (Hemiptera: Aphidoidea) species distributed in Turkey and their host plants

“…The aphid studies carried out in recent years and the aphid fauna of our country has been shown to be represented by approximately 3 families, 141 genera and more than 550 species (Remaudiere et al, 2006;Akyıldırım et al, 2013;Görür et al, 2012;Görür et al, 2018).…”
