Holmboe., <i>Pinus brutia </i> Ten., <i>Cedrus libani </i> A. Rich., <i>Abies cilicica </i>(Antoine & Kotschy) Carrière (Pinaceae), <i>Juniperus </i> spp. (Cupressaceae), <i>Quercus </i> spp. (Fagaceae) and <i>Robinia pseudoacacia </i> L. (Leguminosae) forests in Isparta Province between 2018 and 2020. Using systematic and random sampling, 9,252 specimens in 68 species from the families Aphididae and Phylloxeridae (14 species at genus level only) were identified between 2018 and 2020. It was determined that <i>Appendiseta robiniae </i> (Gillette, 1907) collected from <i>R. pseudoacacia </i> is a Nearctic species, which was identified as a new record for the aphid fauna of Türkiye. Fifty-five species were detected in 2019, and a further 51 in 2020 using systematic sampling. The species with the highest number of specimens in 2019 were <i>Myzocallis boerneri </i> Stroyan, 1957 (16.0%), <i>Eulachnus rileyi </i> (Williams, 1911) (12.3%) and <i>Cinara cedri </i> Mimeur, 1936 (10.4%). In 2020, the species with the highest number of specimens were <i>E. rileyi </i> (10.1%), <i>A. robiniae </i> (9.3%) and <i>Cinara orientalis </i> (Takahashi, 1924) (7.2%). The highest number of aphid species was collected from <i>P. nigra </i>in the three years (2018-2020). The second highest numbers were collected from <i>Quercus coccifera </i> L. in 2018 and 2020, and <i>P. brutia </i> in 2019.}, number={4}, publisher={Türkiye Entomoloji Derneği}, organization={Isparta Applied Sciences University Faculty Member Training Programme Coordinator Unit and TÜBİTAK}
