Abstract:
The new aphid species, - Aphis (Bursaphis) dardanelliensis sp. nov. living on Valeriana alliariifolia Vahl (Caprifoliaceae) in Çanakkale Province, Türkiye, is described based on the apterous viviparous females. Differential diagnosis to morphologically similar species and the Caprifoliaceae-feeding Aphis spp. is given. Identification keys for apterous viviparous females to Caprifoliaceae- and Viburnaceae-feeding Aphis spp. with regularly developed marginal tubercles on abdominal segments II-IV and for Valeriana alliariifolia-feeding aphids worldwide are provided.
