Bow-legged fir aphid Cinara curvipes (Patch) (Aphididae, Homoptera) new pest of Abies concolor in Serbia

Abstract

During 2001 and 2002 in Novi Sad, the presence of Cinara curvipes (Patch) was observed on several Abies concolor trees and on individual branches of Cedrus atlantica. The finding is very interesting as this species is widely distributed in USA, Canada and Mexico. It is new in the aphid fauna of Serbia and Serbia is the second European country in which it has been identified.

Tokom 2001. i 2002. godine u Novom Sadu na više stabala Abies concolor i pojedinim granama Cedrus atlantica utvrđeno je prisustvo Cinara curvipes (Patch). Nalaz je veoma zanimljiv pošto se radi o vrsti široko rasprostranjenoj u SAD-u, Kanadi i Meksiku koja je nedavno introdukovana u Evropu i nova je za afidofaunu naše zemlje. Srbija je druga evropska zemlja u kojoj je utvrđena.
