Abstract

The identity of Aphis rurnicis Linn. has been of interest to aphidologists in various countries for many years. The early practice of naming species of aphids from the host plants upon which they commonly occurred, while of value to a large extent in aiding in the future recognition of the species, resulted in some cases in the making of synonyms. The fact that this paper presents the first published record of detailed life history data, including first-born series, the detailed information on reproduction derived from these records, and the complete life-cycle on herbaceous plants. Practically all of the transfers presented are new since they include the common hosts of Aphis rumicis in the Eastern and Central United States.
