The aphids have attracted the attention of researchers because of their increasing damage levels due to their invasion of new host plants and new regions. The study was conducted in Kırklareli, Tekirdağ and Istanbul provices from July to November 2024. Some important distinguishing characters were measured for the identification of the samples. As a result of this study, nine aphid species, Aphis (Aphis) eupatorii Passerini, 1863; Aphis (Aphis) parietariae Theobald, 1923; Capitophorus mitegoni Eastop, 1956; Dysaphis (Dysaphis) ranunculi (Kaltenbach, 1843); Illinoia (Illinoia) liriodendri (Monell, 1879; Macrosiphoniella (Asterobium) asteris (Walker, 1849); Protaphis carthami (Das, 1918); Tiliaphis shinae (Shinji, 1924) and Yamatochaitophorus yichunensis Jiang, Chen & Qiao, 2016 were added to the Türkiye aphid fauna and the number of listed species increased to 685. However, the detection of A. (A.) eupatorii on the host plant Chromolaena odorata (L.) King and Robinson were observed for the first time in this study.}, number={2}, publisher={Atatürk Üniversitesi}, organization={Supported by the Scientific Council of Turkey (TUBITAK) under project number 124Z069.}
