Endemic aphids A phis carverae sp. nov. and C asimira canberrae ( Eastop, 1961) on E pilobium ( Onagraceae) threatened by introduced A phis oenotherae Oestlund, 1887 ( Hemiptera: Aphididae: Aphidinae).

- Abstract
We describe the wingless viviparae and sexual forms of A phis carverae sp. nov., a new endemic species of A phis Linnaeus, 1758 from Australia. The species is holocyclic and monoecious on Epilobium (Onagraceae). No winged individuals have been found. C asimira canberrae ( Eastop, 1961) is another endemic aphidine species from E pilobium. We describe the winged viviparous and wingless sexual female morphs of this aphid, which is also shown to be holocyclic and monoecious. Native aphids feeding on Onagraceae in Australia are under serious competitive threat from the recently introduced A phis oenotherae Oestlund, 1887.
