The 16S rRNA gene was amplified and sequenced for this purpose and a phylogenetic tree built up by the neighbor-joining method. A significant correlation between  <i>B. aphidicola  </i>genes and the aphid species was revealed by this phylogenetic tree and the haplotype network. Specimens collected in Feke from  <i>Solanum melongena  </i>L. was distinguished from the other  <i>B. aphidicola  </i>genes on  <i>Aphis gossypii  </i>Glover, 1877 (Hemiptera: Aphididae) with a high bootstrap value of 99.  <i>Buchnera aphidicola  </i>in  <i>Myzus  </i>spp. was differentiated from others, and the difference between  <i>Myzus cerasi  </i>(Fabricius, 1775) and  <i>Myzus persicae  </i>(Sulzer, 1776) was clear. Although,  <i>B. aphidicola  </i>is specific to its host aphid, certain nucleotide differences obtained within the species could enable specification to geographic region or host plant in the future. </span> <span lang="en-us" style="font-size:9pt;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;" xml:lang="en-us"> </span> </p> <p> </p>}, number={2}, publisher={Türkiye Entomoloji Derneği}, organization={This study was supported by Çukurova University, Turkey, Grant Project No: FBA-2017-8202}
