Aphid (Hemiptera: Aphididae) species in Burdur urban parks with three records for the fauna of Turkey, their host plants and predators
Turkish Journal of Entomology 45 (3), 371-387
Abstract: This study was conducted to identify the aphid species on 34 ornamental plants in 16 urban parks in the provincial center of Burdur and their predators in April-November 2018-2019. Forty-eight species in 23 genera of Aphididae were detected. Aphis craccivora Koch, 1854, Cinara (Cupressobium) tujafilina (Del Guercio, 1909) and Macrosiphum rosae (L., 1758) were most abundant species. Aphis berberidorum Ortego and Mier Durante, 1997, Hannabura alnicola Matsumura, 1917 and Prociphilus fraxinifolii (Riley, 1879) were three new records for the aphid fauna of Turkey. The genus Hannabura was recorded for the first time in Turkey. Twenty-nine insect predators of aphids were identified from Coccinellidae (24), Cantharidae (1) (Coleoptera), Nabidae (1), Miridae (1) (Hemiptera), Sryphidae (1) (Diptera) and Forficulidae (1) (Dermaptera). No predators were seen on 12 aphid species and just a single predator each for 11 aphid species. The highest host plant diversity was observed for A. craccivora and Aulacorthum solani (Kaltenbach, 1843), with three plant species each. The highest number of aphid species (8 species) was found on Pinus nigra subsp. pallasiana (Lamb.) Holmboe.
