Abstract

For the first time in the Biskra region (Northern Sahara of Algeria), the aphid species Greenidea ficicola (Takahashi, 1921) (Hemiptera: Aphididae) was recorded in trap falls, which were set in order to study the diversity of aphids during the crop year 2015/2016 in the region of El Haouch. The distribution and description of this species are documented in this paper.
