potential related to their high breeding capacity, polymorphism,
parthenogenetic and host alteration. About 4700 aphid species are
known worldwide. About 803 species/subspecies belonging to 207
genera represents Indian Aphididae. The desert area represents less
number of aphids species. The green citrus aphid Aphis spiraecola
Patch (homoptera: Aphididae) is one of the most important
