The First Report of the Aphids (Hemiptera: Sternorrhyncha: Aphididae) of the Valles Caldera National Preserve, New Mexico, USA

Abstract. We report 39 species, belonging to 22 genera of aphids (Hemiptera: Aphididae), collected within and near the boundary of the Valles Caldera National Preserve in the Jemez Mountains of northern New Mexico, USA. Of these, 26 (67%) represent new distribution records for New Mexico. Plant genera/species from which the specimens were collected also are listed when available.
