Cinara curvipes (Patch, 1912) (Hemiptera; Aphididae) as new aphid species for Turkish aphidofauna

Abstract

Cinara curvipes (Patch, 1912) feeding on Abies sp. and Cedrus sp. were sampled from Afyonkarahisar, Kütahya and Bartın provinces between 2012 and 2014 were determined as invasive and new aphid species for Turkey aphidofauna. The most important implication of the finding is that recording C. curvipes from their almost all potential host plant in Turkey.

Türkiye afit faunası için yeni bir afit türü: Cinara curvipes (Patch, 1912) (Hemiptera; Aphididae)

Abstract

Cinara curvipes (Patch, 1912) türü 2012-2014 yılları arasında Abies sp. ve Cedrus sp. konak bitkileri üzerinden Afyonkarahisar, Kütahya ve Bartın illerinden örneklenmiş ve bu türün Türkiye afit faunası için yeni kayıt ve yayılımcı bir tür olduğu ortaya konulmuştur. Çalışmanın en önemli yanı ise C. curvipes türünün literatürde belirtilen muhtemel konak türlerinin hepsinden Türkiye’den kayıt verilmiş olmasıdır

Keywords

• Afit, Cinara curvipes, yayılımcı, yeni kayıt, Türkiye
