Eucarazzia elegans (Ferrari, 1872)
This aphid is native to the Mediterranean region and surrounding areas, but has been also recorded from other regions. For example, it has been found in different countries of the Americas since 1985. Most often, it infests plants of the family Lamiaceae like Lavandula, Melissa, Mentha, Nepeta, Origanum, Salvia or Thymus. The growth and yield of infested plants can be reduced significantly (Zarkani et al., 2017).
The wingless forms are 1-2 mm long, pale green, with long siphunculi that are swollen at their base. The winged adults are characterised by black dorsal markings on the abdomen and distinctive markings on the forewings, including dark triangular spots at the ends of all of the veins.
