Abstract

Five species of aphids are recorded for the first time in Algeria: Aphis hillerislambersi Nieto Nafría & Mier Durante, Hyalopterus amygdali ((E.) Blanchard), Hyalopterus persikonus Miller, Lozier & Foottit, Melanaphis donacis (Passerini) and Uroleucon aeneum (Hille Ris Lambers). The records of A. hillerislambersi, H. persikonus and U. aeneum are also new to the Northern Africa. Two new plant-aphid relationships, previously unknown anywhere in the world, are established for two polyphagous species: Macrosiphum euphorbiae on Galactites tomentosa and Myzus persicae on Thapsia villosa. 28 plant-aphid relationships are also recorded for the first time in Algeria.
