Association of aphids with plants belonging to order Nymphaeales, Austrobaileyales, Laurales, Magnoliales and Piperales (Angiosperms) in India
Keywords:
annonaceae, aphids, aristolochiaceae, checklist, lauraceae, magnoliaceae, nymphaeaceae, schisandraceaeAbstract
The present article provides an updated checklist of aphids (Homoptera: Aphididae) infesting plants belonging to groups/clades: Basal angiosperms comprising 3 early evolving orders, Amborellales, Nymphaeales and Austrobaileyales; and magnoliids comprising 3 orders, Laurales, Piperales and Magnoliales recorded in India. Aphid association of basal angiosperms is very poor, only 6 species of plants are found associated with 3 species of aphids. Two species, Rhopalosiphum maidis (Fitch) and Rhopalosiphum nymphaeae (Linnaeus) used plants of the family Nymphaeaceae. Among the clade mangoliids, 14 species of plants of the family Lauraceae, are associated with 38 species of aphids followed by Magnoliaceae (4 species of plants are associated with 13 species of aphids. Six species of Aiceona Takahashi are only associated with Lauraceae. Aphis (Toxoptera) aurantii Boyer de Fonscolombe uses 13 plant species of the clade mangoliids followed by Sinomegoura citricola (van der Goot) (9 plant species) and Aphis (Aphis) gossypii Glover (7 plant species). Total 33 species of plants belonging to these orders are colonised by 53 species of aphids belonging to 28 genera.
