A HOST INDEX FOR SPECIES OF APHIDOIDEA DESCRIBED DURING 1935 TO 1969

Abstract

This Index endeavors to continue part of Patch's (1938) impressive work, “Food Plant Catalogue of the Aphids of the World,” which attempted to include all host records up to the end of 1935. Although Higuchi and Miyazaki (1969) have produced a tentative host catalogue for Aphidoidea in Japan and Sharma (1969, 1971, 1972), Smith (1972), and Szelegiewicz (1969) have produced more recent bibliographies, Patch's host catalogue has not been updated on a world-wide basis. This is an attempt to fill this need as regards original host records of species of aphids described during 1935 to 1969. The index has been arranged alphabetically by genus and species of host, or under the colloquial name for the host where this was the only information given in the description of the species. Fossils, and species where the host was not given, have been listed under Fossils and Unknown respectively.
