The above list, taken together with the list of aphids on the similar genus Seriphidium, contains more than 260 species. This is by far the largest aphid fauna of any plant genus. We have split the key into three parts to make it easier to use.

Master key to aphids on Artemisia and Seriphidium:–

1	ANT tubercles undeveloped or weakly developed, and front of head convex in dorsal view; sometimes ANT tubercles are developed so that they project forward as far as the middle of the head, but then ANT III is without any secondary rhinaria (except in alatiform specimens)	..…KEY A
–	ANT tubercles developed or with developed processes, so that they project forward further than middle part of head, which is often concave in dorsal view. If the ANT tubercles are low (Microsiphoniella, Artemisaphis and some Obtusicauda and Microsiphum), then ANT III bears at least one rhinarium	…..2
2	SIPH tubular, clearly longer than their basal widths, with a subapical zone of polygonal reticulation, consisting of at least a few closed cells	..…KEY B
–	SIPH either very small or well-developed, but if well-developed then they lack polygonal reticulation	.….KEY C

KEY A

[ Note: the following species could not be included in the key because specimens were not available and they could not be discriminated on the basis of the published descriptions. The number in brackets after the species indicates the couplet they should run to in the key:- Aphis lhasartemisiae (82), Aphis reticulata (79), Coloradoa brevisiphon (20), C. procerae (26), Sappaphis albinae (45), S. angelicograstis (45), S. dipirivora (45), S. sinipiricola (45)]

Arundinaria Bamboos

Poaceae

Many of the species formerly in the genus Arundinaria are now placed in related genera, such as Pleioblastus and Yushania. The Arundinaria group of genera seems to have a more restricted aphid fauna than Bambusa, and some species are specific to it, so a separate, shorter key is provided. However, it is probable that other bamboo-feeding aphids, not so far recorded from Arundinaria, will feed on this and related genera, and if the key below does not provide a satisfactory answer then it may be worthwhile to work through the Bambusa key.
