| Summary: | Aphids (Hemiptera: Aphididae) are considered among the most important pests all around
the world. The total number of aphid species recorded in Argentina between 2003 and 2013
has risen from 200 to 237, which demonstrates the continuous introduction and discovery of
new species in the territory. Therefore, faunistic studies should be conducted without interruption
in areas of interest. The aim of this study was to establish if there were aphid species
in Tucuman Province, Argentina that had not been recorded previously in the province.
Aphids were collected with modified Moericke yellow water pan traps in potato crops during
2 seasons in 3 regions of Tucumán. Seventeen species, among the 47 species identified, and
the genus Illinoia represent new records for the Province. |
