A New Species of Aphis Linnaeus, 1758 (Hemiptera, Aphididae, Aphidini) from Türkiye and Iran
The new aphid species Aphis tanaceticola sp. nov., living on Tanacetum parthenium (L.) Sch.Bip. in Ankara Province, Türkiye, and on Tanacetum sp. (Asteraceae: Anthemideae) in Mazandaran Province, Iran, is described and illustrated based on the fundatrix, normal and alatiform apterous and alate viviparous females, and intraspecific variations between short-haired Iranian and long-haired Turkish populations are discussed. Differential diagnoses to morphologically similar species and to the Anthemideae-feeding Aphis spp. are given. An identification key for Anthemideae-feeding Aphis spp. with sclerotic abdominal dorsum anterior to siphunculi is provided.
