Abstract

Two new aphids, Aphis veroniciphaga sp. nov. and A. vitexicola sp. nov. (Hemiptera: Aphididae), are described from specimens collected on Veronica nakaiana Ohwi (Scrophulariaceae) and Vitex negundo L. (Verbenaceae), respectively, in Korea. They are illustrated and measured for the apterous and alate viviparous females. A key to the species of the genus Aphis on the host plant families Scrophulariaceae and Verbenaceae is presented, including polyphagous Aphis in the Far Eastern Asia.
