Updated Checklist of Food Plants of Macrosiphini (Aphididae: Hemiptera) in India–2

Authors:

Abstract

The Macrosiphini is one of the 2 tribes of the subfamily Aphidinae (Aphididae: Hemiptera) containing about 2166 species/subspecies assigned to 242 genera. Out of these, only 96 genera and 374 species are recorded from India infesting hundreds of plant species belonging to several families. The food plants of Indian Macrosiphini is catalogued alphabetically (aphid species-wise) in three parts. In this contribution, food plants of 38 genera and 148 species of aphids belonging to the tribe Macrosiphini (Elatobium to Myzus) are catalogued. These aphids feeds on 416 plant species belonging to 98 families. Most suffered families are Asteraceae (62 species) followed by Rosaceae (41 species), Brassicaceae (26 species), Lamiaceae (23 species), Fabaceae (18 species), Pteridaceae (14 species), and Solanaceae (13 species). Among them, several species are crops of agricultural and horticultural importance. The update checklist of food plants of rest of Macrosiphini will be dealt in successive article.

Abstract: The Macrosiphini is one of the 2 tribes of the subfamily Aphidinae (Aphididae: Hemiptera)
containing about 2166 species/subspecies assigned to 242 genera. Out of these, only 96 genera and 374 species
are recorded from India infesting hundreds of plant species belonging to several families. The food plants of
Indian Macrosiphini is catalogued alphabetically (aphid species-wise) in three parts. In this contribution, food
plants of 38 genera and 148 species of aphids belonging to the tribe Macrosiphini (Elatobium to Myzus) are
catalogued. These aphids feeds on 416 plant species belonging to 98 families. Most suffered families are
Asteraceae (62 species) followed by Rosaceae (41 species), Brassicaceae (26 species), Lamiaceae (23 species),
Fabaceae (18 species), Pteridaceae (14 species), and Solanaceae (13 species). Among them, several species are
crops of agricultural and horticultural importance. The update checklist of food plants of rest of Macrosiphini
will be dealt in successive article.

1. INTRODUCTION
The tribe Macrosiphini Wilson, 1910 is one of the two tribes (Aphidini and Macrosiphini) of the
subfamily Aphidinae (Aphididae: Hemiptera) which is the largest subfamily of the aphids containing
2166 species assigned to 242 genera [1]. Several members of the tribe are major agricultural pests
damaging the crops directly by sucking their sap or by transmitting viral diseases. Myzus persicae
(Sulzer) alone transmit about 180 plant viruses [2, 3]. In the most of the literature published earlier,
several errors crept in scientific names of the aphids and plants even in the recent ones. It happens
because such contents become outdated quickly and, due to their perceived comprehensiveness,
readers sometimes overlook newer sources of data [4]. Additionally, the researches on aphid
taxonomy as well as their host plants is continued with the description of new taxa, the modified
status of others, and the publication of other nomenclatural decisions. In the present compilation,
attempts have been made to correct these errors in the scientific names of the aphids following recent
taxonomic literatures [1, 5, 6, 7, 8] and for plants, http://www.ars-grin.gov and http://www.the
plantlist.org (version 1.1). At several places, their synonymies were also mentioned.
2. APHID - FOOD PLANTS RECORD OF MACROSIPHINI
The food plants of Aphidini [9] and first part of Macrosiphini [10] were recently catalogued. The
present paper deals with the second part of Macrosiphini and their food plants in India. Aphid species
marked with § seems to be invalid while species marked with * are wrongly reported for another valid
species. Following is their food plant record:

Myzus (Nectarosiphon) persicae is a highly polyphagous aphid species and is now considered to
consist of distinct phenotypes and genotypes, both holocyclic and anholocyclic, that vary with respect
to their ability to reproduce and food preferences on different host plants. Its diversity of food plant in
India has already been catalogued recently [3] that includes plants belonging to 293 species under 64
plant families. There are 14 plant families where more than 5 species of plants were infested by it in
India, viz. Asteraceae (44 plant species), Solanaceae (37 plant species), Brassicaceae (27 plant
species), Fabaceae (18 plant species), Rosaceae (13 plant species), Malvaceae (11 plant species),
Convolvulaceae (11 plant species), Amaranthaceae (10 plant species), Polygonaceae (8 plant species),
Caryophyllaceae, Plantaginaceae, Poaceae (7 plant species each), Cucurbitaceae (6 plant species), and
Euphorbiaceae (5 plant species).

3. CONCLUSION
Food plants of 38 genera and 148 species of aphids belonging to the tribe Macrosiphini (Elatobium to
Myzus) are catalogued in this contribution. These aphids feed on 416 plant species belonging to 98
families. Asteraceae (62 species) followed by Rosaceae (41 species), Brassicaceae (26 species),
Lamiaceae (23 species), Fabaceae (18 species), Pteridaceae (14 species), and Solanaceae (13 species)
are most suffered plant families. Among them, several species are crops of agricultural and
horticultural importance.

The present article deals with the checklist of aphids (Aphididae: Homoptera) and their food plants belonging to 6 families (Amaranthaceae, Basellaceae, Caryophyllaceae, Nyctaginaceae, Plumbaginaceae, and Portulacaceae) of the order Caryophyllales; and 2 families (Loranthaceae and Santalaceae) of the order Santalales. The plants belonging to the family Amaranthaceae are more vulnerable to aphid attack (16 species of plants infested by 32 species of aphids), followed by Caryophyllaceae (11 species of plants infested by 18 species of aphids) and Nyctaginaceae (5 species of plants infested by 12 species of aphids). Out of 44 species of the aphids recorded on these plants, 37 species are almost monophagous, feeding on 1-7 plant species belonging to 1-2 families, and the remaining 7 species are polyphagous, feeding on 6-19 plant species belonging to 3-5 families. Highly polyphagous species are Aphis (Aphis) gossypii Glover (19 plant species belonging to 14 genera and 5 families), followed by Myzus (Nectarosiphon) persicae (Sulzer) (16 plant species belonging to 12 genera and 4 families) and Aphis (Aphis) craccivora Koch (14 plant species belonging to 11 genera and 4 families).
... The tribe Macrosiphini contains about 2166 species belonging to 242 genera globally. Out of these, only 96 genera and 374 species are recorded from India infesting hundreds of plant species belonging to several families (Singh and Singh, 2017d). The present study recorded 13 species of Macrosiphini on 12 host plants. ...

Extensive surveys were undertaken across Kerala during 2018-22, to explore the diversity of aphid fauna associated with different flora. The study recorded 25 species of aphids under 17 genera in four tribes belonging to four subfamilies of Aphididae. Aphidinae was the predominant subfamily, followed by Greenideinae, Hormaphidinae and Eriosomatinae. Aphidinae was represented by two tribes, Aphidini and Macrosiphini. The tribes Aphidini (Aphis (L.), Rhopalosiphum Koch, Hysteroneura Davis and Melanaphis van der Goot) and Macrosiphini (Pentalonia Coquerel, Brevicoryne van der Goot, Macrosiphoniella del Guercio, Macrosiphum Passerini, Metopolophium Mordvilko, Acyrthosiphon Mordvilko, Uroleucon Mordvilko and Aulacorthum Mordvilko) were represented by four and eight genera, respectively. The subfamily Greenideinae was represented by two genera in a single tribe (Greenideini); Hormaphidinae represented by two genera in a single tribe (Cerataphidini), while only one genus in a single tribe (Eriosomatini) was recorded in the subfamily Eriosomatinae. The genus Aphis was the most diverse with five species. Aphis gossypii Glover exhibited a wider host range with 20 host plants. The study records new distribution of three aphid species from south India and seven species from Kerala.

The lamiids is a subclade of the clade asterids of eudicot flowering plants comprising five orders. The results demonstrated the association of 147 species of aphids belonging to 60 genera with 296 species of plants belonging to 174 genera included in 20 families and 4 orders and Boraginales, Gentianales, Lamiales Solanales. Among the aphids infesting lamiids, Aphis (Aphis) gossypii Glover was found highly polyphagous feeding 43 species of plants followed by Aphis (Aphis) nerii Boyer de Fonscolombe (27 species), Aphis (Aphis) spiraecola Patch (22 species), Aphis (Aphis) asclepiadis Fitch, Aphis (Toxoptera) aurantii Boyer de Fonscolombe, Myzus (Myzus) ornatus Laing (13 species each), Aphis (Aphis) craccivora Koch, Myzus (Nectarosiphon) persicae (Sulzer) (12 species each) and Aphis (Aphis) odinae (van der Goot, 1917) (10 species), and less than 10 species for other aphid species. The plants belonging to Lamiaceae (60 species) are maximally associated with 55 species of aphids followed by Solanaceae (51 species by 60 species of aphids), Apocynaceae (27 species by 33 species of aphids), Rubiaceae (27 species by 33 species of aphids), and Convolvulaceae (15 species by 17 species of aphids), Plantaginaceae (14 species by 17 species of aphids) and other families with less than 10 species of plants.

The present checklist deals with the association of aphids with the plants belonging to the four orders of nitrogen-fixing clade of fabids eudicot angiosperms, i.e. Cucurbitales, Fabales, Fagales and Rosales recorded in India. Total 294 species of plants of these orders belonging to 124 genera and 13 families are associated with 239 species of aphids put into 102 genera and 7 subfamilies of aphids. The aphids are related with only two families of Cucurbitales, Begoniaceae and Cucurbitaceae.

The present article provides an updated checklist of aphids (Homoptera: Aphididae) infesting plants belonging to two orders: Cornales and Ericales comprising 2 and 11 families, respectively, in India. Two families of Cornales, the Cornaceae and the Hydrangeaceae are associated with 4 and 9 species of aphids, respectively. Two species, Prociphilus (Prociphilus) cornifoliae Singh, Das and Raychaudhuri, 1977 and Aulacorthum (Aulacorthum) cornaceae Ghosh, 1969 are exclusively associated with Cornaceae while Eumyzus hydrangi Chakrabarti and Bhattacharya, 1985 and Chakrabartiaphis hydrangeae (Chakrabarti and Bhattacharya, 1982) are solely associated with Hydrangeaceae in India. Among the Ericales, plants belonging to 6 families, Balsaminaceae (17 species of aphids), Ericaceae (47 species of aphids), Pentaphylacaceae (14 species of aphids), Primulaceae (20 species of aphids), Symplocaceae (15 species of aphids) and Theaceae (20 species of aphids) are associated with several species of aphids and many of them are highly host specific infesting single species of plants. Total 50 species of plants belonging to these orders are colonised by 96 species of aphids belonging to 42 genera.

The present paper deals with the association of aphids (Homoptera: Aphididae) with the monocots flowering plant in India. The analysis of data revealed that only 7.66% of the total monocot species recorded in the world is known in India and amongst them only 6.55% (301 species) are associated with 181 species of the aphids. Poaceae is the most suffered family of the monocots by the aphid infestation (163 species of plants are associated with 142 species of aphids including earlier records) followed by Orchidaceae (36 species of plants are associated with 13 species of aphids), Cyperaceae (17 species of plants are associated with 27 species of aphids), Araceae (10 species of plants are associated with 17 species of aphids) and less than 10 species of plants in other families. In India, members of only 6 subfamilies of the aphids are associated with monocots flowering plants. Aphidinae is the largest (75 species) subfamily among them followed by Eriosomatinae (13 species), Hormaphidinae (7 species), Calaphidinae (4 species), Greenideinae (2 species) and Lachninae (single species) excluding the aphids listed earlier on Poaceae. Aphis (Aphis) gossypii Glover is the highly polyphagous species and feeds on 25 species of monocots belonging to 15 families excluding Poaceae of which it is associated with 6 species. Two species, Sitobion (Sitobion) indicum Basu and Sitobion (Sitobion) luteum (Buckton) are highly host specieifc and are associated with only 2 families, Orchidaceae and Cyperaceae.

Of the seventy species of aphids recorded by the writer (David 1954 a, b, c), sixty-eight are known to occur within the Madras State. Collections made since then include three species which were noted by George (1927) previously. In this paper these species are reviewed as to their present systematic position, distribution and status in economic entomology. For fourteen other aphids which have already been commented upon in previous papers, additional notes are given.

The Aphidini is one of the 2 tribes of the subfamily Aphidinae (Aphididae: Hemiptera) containing about 830 species/subspecies assigned to 33 genera. Out of these, only 9 genera and 70 species/subspecies were recorded from India infesting 940 plant species belonging to 138 families, out of which only 19 families are monocot. Indian Aphidini are recorded mostly on the plant family Asteraceae (102 plant species), followed by Fabaceae (96 plant species), Poaceae (92 plant species), Lamiaceae (46 plant species), Rosaceae (38 plant species), Solanaceae (34 plant species), Apocyanaceae (28 plant species), Rubiaceae (26 plant species), Malvaceae (25 plant species), Rutaceae (22 plant species), Cucurbitaceae (22 plant species), Polygonaceae (21 plant species), etc. Out of 70 described species of Aphidini from India, 14 species are monophagous; 40 species are oligophagous infesting 2 to 20 plant species; and 8 species are moderately polyphagous infesting 21 to 55 plant species while 8 species are highly polyphagous feeding on 55 upto 569 plant species. The present contribution provides updated checklist of Indian Aphidini with the valid scientific name of the aphids as well as their food plants.

The Macrosiphini is one of the 2 tribes of the subfamily Aphidinae (Aphididae: Hemiptera) containing about 2166 species/subspecies assigned to 242 genera. Out of these, only 96 genera and 374 species are recorded from India infesting hundreds of plant species belonging to several families. The food plants of Indian Macrosiphini is catalogued alphabetically (aphid species-wise) in three parts. In this contribution, food plants of only 25 genera and 109 species of aphids belonging to the tribe Macrosiphini (Acutosiphon to Dysaphis) are catalogued. These aphids feeds on 400 plant species belonging to 79 families. Most suffered families are Asteraceae (81 species) followed by Rosaceae (35 species), Fabaceae (27 species), Brassicaceae (22 species), Lamiaceae (18 species) and Solanaceae (17 species). Among them, several species are crops of agricultural and horticultural importance. The update checklist of food plants of rest of Macrosiphini will be dealt in successive articles.

The role of natural enemies on the population of Lipaphis erysimi infesting Brassica juncea var. rugosa has been studied in three consecutive crop seasons (1993 -1996). The study revealed the occurrence of about a dozen natural enemies belonging to 4 groups viz., syrphids, coccinellids, hemerobiids and aphidiid. Among them, syrphids were found to be dominant over others in terms of density, species composition and prey consumption potential.

Morphological variation of insect population in relation to the different host plants is an important phenomenon that leads to ecological specialization. In this study, we describe the morphological variation of Myzus persicae (Sulzer) (Homoptera: Aphididae) individuals on field samples collected from five different host-plants namely- Solanum nigrum, Calotropis procera, Brassica oleracea, Brassica rapa campestris and Raphanus sativus, from different localities in District Kushinagar of Uttar Pradesh, India with similar climatic conditions. Sixteen morphological characters were measured in 50 wingless aphids collected from plants of the five host species. A significant difference was observed in length of antennal segment IV and VI base, body size, midfemur, hindfemur, u.r.s., siphunculi and of cauda. Results demonstrated that the morphology of Myzus persicae was affected by its host plants.

Aphids (Order: Hemiptera) are very important economically since they cause damage to agricultural and forest plants by sucking the cell sap and affecting growth and yield of the crops. Therefore, biodiversity of aphids have been studied in Poona district of India including Western Ghats. In all 19 species of aphids have been reported belonging to the following important genera viz. Aphis, Myzus, Rhopalosiphum, Melanophis, Brevicoryne, Lipaphis, Dactynotus, Teratneura, Pentalonia, Greenidia and Toxoptera. Their seasonal abundance and distribution in plain and hilly region of Poona district have been studied.
