Abstract :As a result of the analyses of studies conducted between 2004 and 2006 to determine aphid species on the both cultured and naturally grown plants in the Central Denizli, 17 species belongs to 10 genus from Aphidinae and Pemphiginae subfami-lies of Aphididae family were recorded. Recorded species are; Aphis craccivora Koch, Aphis fabae Scopoli, Aphis gossypii Glover, Aphis nasturtii Kaltenbach, Aphis punicae Shinji, Aphis spiraecola Patch, Brachycaudus insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Prunaphis); cardui insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Linnae-us);, Brachycaudus helichrysi insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Kaltenbach);, Eriosoma lanigerum insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Gilette);, Hyalopterus pruni insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Geoffray);, Macrosiphum eu-phorbiae insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Thomas);, Macrosiphum rosae insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Linnaeus);, Myzaphis turanica insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Nevsky);, Myzus ascolanicus Sulzer, Ovatus insitus insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Gilette);, Rhopalosiphum insertum insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Linnaeus); and Wahlgreniella nervata insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Gilette);. All recorded species are new records for the study area as there were no detailed studies organized before. Of these species, Myzus ascolanicus and Wahlgreniella nervata were new records for Turkish aphid fauna. For each recorded species, worldwide and Turkey’s distribution, host plant lists and general characteristics were also given.
