description

The widely distributed cotton aphis was found to a slight extent on taro. Some bad infestations of it were seen on eggplant. Fullaway reported it on cotton and cowpeas in 1911, and what was probably the same species on watermelon, cucumber, eggplant, and radish. He also reported an undetermined aphid on beets.

materials_examined

From parasitized gossypii on taro at Inarajan, May 14, 6 Aphelinus issued. They appear to be near Aphelinus nwidis, but do not have the darkened mid and hind tibiae of that species.

diagnosis

Diagnosis Aptera 0.8 – 1.7 mm. Pale green to blackish green; siphunculi black. Small, pale yellow specimens occur in in crowded colonies or hot conditions. In cold temperate regions mostly in glasshouses. Dioecious with several unrelated plants as primary hosts, in Europe, however, mostly anholocyclic. Very similar to A. beccabungae Koch, 1855 (Fig. 24) and other species of the A. frangulae group. See Blackman & Eastop (2014) and Heie (1986) for differences and a more complete account. Dioecious but usually anholocyclic, polyphagous.
