Abstract :This research was conducted between 2018 and 2020 in Tekirdağ province and its districts in Türkiye, aiming to identify species of aphids belonging to the Aphididae family on the herbaceous plants in non-agricultural and agricultural fields, urban parks, gardens, and roadsides. The morphological diagnoses of aphids were performed, and based on that, the species from the subfamilies of the Aphididae family belonging to the Hemiptera order, namely Aphidinae, Eriosomatinae, Lachninae, and Chaitophorinae, were identified. Echinophora tenuifolia (L.) and Cachyrs sp. (L.) (Apiaceae) for Anuraphis cachyros (Barbagallo & Stroyan, 1982), Malva neglecta (Wallr.) (Malvaceae) for Aphis (Aphis) nasturtii (Kaltenbach, 1843), Cichorium intybus (L.) (Asteraceae) for Hyperomyzus (Hyperomyzus) lactucae (L., 1758) Achillea sp. (L.) (Asteraceae) for Macrosiphoniella (Macrosiphoniella) tanecetaria (Kaltenbach, 1843), Amaranthus retroflexus (L.) (Amaranthaceae) for Macrosiphum (Macrosiphum) euphorbiae (Thomas, 1878) and Slybum marianum (L.) (Asteraceae) for Uroleucon (Uromelan) aeneum (Hille Ris Lambers, 1939) have been identified as new host plants in Türkiye.
