Abstract

Aphids (Aphidoidea) are among the most important pests of agricultural crops. This investigation into the aphid in the period of 1996-1998 was conducted using two methods: the yellow water trap (YWT) and Rothamsted suction trap (RST) methods, and was carried out in Zagreb. Through faunistic research 83 species of aphids were identified, out of which 13 were completely new for the aphid fauna in Croatia. In the yellow water trap (YWT) method a total of 64 species were identified, 6 species of these being identified only in the YWT.
With the Rothamsted suction trap method (RST) a total of 77 species were identified, 19 of them being identified only with RST. In the YWT method 2 eudominant, 2 dominant, 4 subdominant, 4 recent and 52 subrecent aphid species were recorded. In the RST, 2 eudominant, 2 dominant, 3 subdominant, 6 recent and 62 subrecent aphid species were recorded. According to frequency in YWT Drephanosiphum platanoidis Schrank is a euconstant species. All other aphid species in YWT and in RST are accidental.
