Aphids – Aphidinae (Macrosiphini)
by Roger L Blackman
Description
The Macrosiphini are the predominant group of aphids
on herbaceous plants in Britain, and the world. There
are 305 British species and subspecies, comprising 49%
of the 620 Aphididae on the British list. They include
many important pest species, some of which are highly
polyphagous, but there are also very many more species
feeding more-or-less specifically on indigenous and
naturalised plants and playing a significant role in
natural food chains. This Handbook provides a checklist
and a list of native host plants, along with keys to
tribes, genera and species. Biological information
is provided about each species.
