Aphids (Hemiptera: Aphidomorpha) of the Botanic Garden of the Jagiellonian University, Kraków

Abstract

The paper presents results of faunistic investigations of aphids (Aphidomorpha) in the Botanic Garden of the Jagiellonian University, Kraków, in the Kraków – Wieluń Upland. During two seasons of research (2011, 2012) two aphid species from the family Adelgidae and 50 species from the family Aphididae, associated with 66 host plants were recorded. The following species – Eriosoma anncharlotteae DANIELSSON, 1979, Capitophorus elaeagni (DEL GUERCIO, 1894), Rhopalosiphoninus (Neorhopalosiphoninus) staphyleae staphyleae (KOCH, 1854), Eulachnus brevipilosus BÖRNER, 1940 and E. cembrae BÖRNER, 1950 – are new for the Kraków – Wieluń Upland. Seven of the species recorded are regarded as alien to Poland.
