Abstract

A new genus Acerocaudaphis Qiao & Xu gen. nov. in the tribe Macrosiphini with Acerocaudaphis loniceratus Qiao & Xu sp. nov. and Acerocaudaphis jilongensis Qiao & Xu sp. nov. on Lonicera from Tibet, China are described and illustrated inhere. The new genus can easily be distinguished by remarkable cauda which is semicircular at basal part and strongly constricted to pointed finger-shaped at distal part, and special anal plate which the hind margin forward indent to two conical tubercles. Molecular evidence supports the validity of the new genus and two new species. The DNA barcode data of the two new species are provided and the key of aphids on Lonicera is updated.
