Abstract

Two aphid species belonging to genus lsraelaphis Essig were collected
for the first time in Sicily (Italy) during the years 1998-99. One of the two aphids
is described as a new taxon, /. ilharcoi sp.n., the other one being the well known
type-species /. carmini. Both species are recorded for Israel , Portugal and Sicily,
where they live on annual grasses belonging to the genera Bromus, Avena,
Hordeum. Notes are given on their life-cycle and taxonomy. A key to apterous
viviparous morphs allows the identification of the four aphid species which are
known up to now to belong to the genus.
