RESUMEN Los áfidos son insectos importantes en la agronomía por alimentarse de la savia de plantas cultivadas. Sus daños pueden generar pérdidas económicas y llegar a ser letales para las plantas, debido las enfermedades que se desarrollan por los virus que ellos transmiten. A pesar de esta importancia, los inventarios taxonómicos en Colombia son aún incipientes. Además, las especies relacionadas en estudios anteriores no están representadas por especímenes conservados en colecciones, lo cual dificulta hacer corroboraciones taxonómicas. En el presente trabajo, se enriqueció el conocimiento de las especies de áfidos para el país y se generaron registros nuevos de especies para el norte de Sudamérica. La mayoría de las muestras proviene directamente de campo y algunas de museos del país. Se estudiaron 1400 especímenes que se integraron al Museo entomológico Universidad Nacional Agronomía Bogotá (UNAB). Se ofrece una clave taxonómica para 42 especies, las diagnosis e ilustraciones para 27 especies y una lista de 51 hospedantes botánicos. Eulachnus rileyi, Greenidea psidii, Wahlgreniella nervata, Neomyzus circumflexum, Myzus ascalonicus, Illinoia morrisoni y Ovatus crataegarius se registran por primera vez para el país. ABSTRACT Aphids are important insects in agronomy, due to their sap-sucking habits in cultivable plants. Their damages may generate economic losses and become lethal to plants, due to diseases produced by the viruses that several aphids transmit. Despite their importance, taxonomic inventories in the country are still incipient. Also, species studied in previous works are not represented by specimens in collections, which makes it difficult to achieve taxonomic corroborations. In the present work, we enrich the knowledge of aphid species for the country, as well as generate new records of species for northern South America. Most samples proceeded directly from field collecting and a few others from several institutional collections in the country, 1 400 specimens were studied and incorporated into the Museo entomológico Universidad Nacional Agronomía Bogotá (UNAB). We offered a taxonomic key for 42 species, diagnosis and illustrations for 27 species, and a list of 51 botanical host species. Eulachnus rileyi, Greenidea psidii, Wahlgreniella nervata, Neomyzus circumflexum, Myzus ascalonicus, Illinoia morrisoni, and Ovatus crataegarius are recorded for the first time for the country.

The aphids Takecallis taiwana (Takahashi, 1926) and T. arundinariae (Essig, 1917) were collected from two locations in the Department of Cundinamarca (Colombia) and one location within 90 km of the city of Bogotá on plants of the Phyllostachys sp. (Poaceae: Bambusoideae). This represents the first record of these species from the northern half of South America. Key diagnostic morphological characterisitcs are given to help distinguish these species. A list of the species and a summary of their distributions are provided.

The gall-forming aphid Tetraneura fusiformis is recorded for the first time for Northern South America. Its identity is clarified, and descriptions of this species and that of T. nigriabdominalis, with which it is commonly confused, are offered. The association of this sap sucking insect with the ant Linepithema angulatum (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) is recorded for the first time as well Se registra por primera vez para el norte de Sudamérica el pulgón formador de agallas de las raíces Tetraneura fusiformis. Su identidad es precisada y se ofrecen las descripciones de esta especie y de T. nigriabdominalis, con la cual es comúnmente confundida. También se registra por primera vez la asociación de este insecto chupador de savia con la hormiga Linepithema angulatum (Hymenoptera: Formicidae).
