Panaphis juglandis (Goeze, 1778) and Chromaphis juglandicola (Kaltenbach, 1843) (Hemiptera, Aphididae) in Norway – two aphid species associated with common walnut (Juglans regia L.)

Abstract

The two aphid species Panaphis juglandis (Goeze, 1778) and Chromaphis juglandicola (Kaltenbach, 1843) were recorded on leaves of common walnut (Juglans regia L.) in June and July 2014 in the Botanical garden at Tøyen, Oslo. Both species are solely associated with the common walnut, on which they may cause damages both on leaves and fruits. The two species are hitherto not reported from Norway. Biology and distribution are briefly commented on.
