Abstract:
A catalogue is presented containing 71 species of aphids and one phylloxerid from Panama. Fifty-nine species are new records for Panama and 12 of them are new records for Central America. Eleven species are of Neotropical origin and 17 are of Nearctic origin. Forty-four species own their presence in Panama to direct or indirect anthropogenic introduction. The catalogue records 227 'aphid species/host-plant species' relationships, with 25 new records 'aphid species/host-plant genus'.
