Abstract

A new species of the genus Aphis feeding on Rubus ellipticus in China, Aphis rogeri Qiao sp. nov. is described. The new species is distinguished by the presence in life of successive pleuro-marginal wax spots, rostrum reaching over meta-coxae and short siphunculi. The new species is supported by molecular data and morphological features. An updated key to Aphis species feeding on Rubus is provided.
