Abstract

This paper deals with the aphid fauna complex of the two administrative regions of Tuscany and Emilia Romagna (N.C. Italy) where a total of 442 taxa of specific and sub-specific rank are registered of which 385 taxa belong to Tuscany and 326 to Emilia Romagna. Furthermore, additional notes are provided on a few species which have not yet been recorded or are practically unheard of in Italy. A short chorological comment on the species complex is also added.
