ABSTRACT
The most material morphometric characteristics of six sorts of the family Anuraphis Del Guercio were taken a gander at. Anuraphis shaposhnikovisp. nov. is depicted and its morphological differences from the immovably related species Anuraphis subterranea are presented. The new species was accumulated in Sicily and in the central space of the Italian projection on Magydaris pastinacea (Lam.) Paol. (Apiaceae) and Opopanax chironium (L.) Koch (Apiaceae), which are its helper have plants. A key to the viviparous changes (apterae and alatae) of the seven western Palaearctic species living on discretionary hosts is given. Discriminant limits have been resolved to confine both apterae and alatae of A. shaposhnikovi and A. subterranea.

INTRODUCTION
Aphids are little Homopteran bugs which pollute essentially every plant. Aphids are a critical social affair of bugs regularly known as, green flies, or underground creepy crawly cows. They have a spot with class Insecta, super - family Aphidoidea and family Aphididae inside the solicitation Homoptera. They are generally plant sap-sucking and sensitive bodied frightening little creatures, subsequently affecting the authentic headway of the plant. Generally the aphids are parthenogenetic unpleasant little animals colonizing any piece of plant like new leaves, twings, inflorescences, results of the dirt the roots, at times. They furthermore go about as transmitter for a couple of plant contamination disorders. They in any case called real vermin of cultivating yields, plant plants and numerous woodlands plants and trees. They are found world over the more conspicuous number of species in the gentle similarly as the subtropical regions. A couple of aphids are of much money related importance being aggravations of explicit yields like oilseeds, cotton, wheat, vegetables, paddy, etc and various green plants. They are extremely productive social affair which happen all through the world passing on to tropical, subtropical regions with the best number of species in the temperature territories. There are around 4461 known kinds of the aphids all through the world over out of this outright known sorts of aphids, more than 900 species have been represented deliberately from India, so far They do imitate the two distinct ways comparably by parthenogenesis (agamically) and unequivocally. An aphid settlement regularly appears as a green or dim mass on a 3 plant stem or underside of leaf. A general population of aphids may augmentation to a few million aphids inside a very restricted capacity to center time, and their number may go down again fundamentally more quickly under bad conditions.
DISTRIBUTION:
Aphids are cosmopolitan in scattering; happen all through the world any spot the vegetation is there, with the best number in quiet regions They are for the most part passed on all through gentle, subtemperate, tropical and subtropical spaces of the world, while a couple of creature assortments have very bound flow. Due to their cosmopolitan allocation and pestiferous nature. They have pulled in the thought of scholastic neighborhood the overall reason. Their flow is thought to reflect their more unmistakable ability to persevere through the conditions of being that success around there. Nevertheless, aphid irritations of yields have held their vermin status when brought from the gentle areas into tropical and subtropical districts of the world. There are some endemic species in the wildernesses and subtropics which acclimated to the climatic conditions that success there. It is serviceable for aphids to move enormous ranges (transcendently through uninvolved dispersal riding on breezes) dependent upon the environment plans: For example, the lettuce aphid spreading from New Zealand to Tasmania. They have similarly been spread over by human transportation of amassed plant materials beginning with one spot then onto the following. In India, assignment illustration of aphid has been concentrated by The lopsided spaces of upper east and northwest Himalayas and Western ghats of Indian subcontinent show higher union of aphids while other plain regions have less centralization of aphids.
tended to in the statures extent of generally 1200m to 1800m. At higher rises two or three species are unequivocal to plants of that space and lower statures inspite of blossom abundance degrees of species wealth is certainly less Further communicated that endemism in Indian Aphididae overpowers in northern locale and Indogangetic fields are for all intents and purposes with no local aphids. Aphids are little homopteran bugs of broad monetary importance for some country harvests. They are plant sap sucking bugs amassing both airborne and subaerial parts of plants including the most monetarily importance ones (apical leaves, inflorescence, sprout, buds, cases, characteristic items, etc) In India the parthenogenetically mimicking females structure the ordinary aggravations and are regularly suspected as vectors for passing on viral diseases beginning with one plant then onto the following. They cause shrinking of plants, mutilation and course of action of nerves. They go about as transmitters of disease borne disorders. A colossal number of plants are attacked by aphids like vegetables, natural item trees, oats, grains, fiber crops, beat crops, oil seed crops, remedial plants and elaborate plants. A couple of aphids show polyphagous affinity and can crowd a huge arrangement of host plants having a spot with different families. A gigantic number of aphids found in fields of India rehash parthenogenetically for certain ages just by this suggests, several them show a compact season of sexual spread in winter season. 5 Aphids inertly feed on sap of phloem vessels in plants. This sap being held under high pressure. At the point when a phloem vessel is infiltrated it is obliged into the food channel. As they feed, aphids much of the time impart plant diseases to their food plants. These contaminations can from time to time even butcher the plants. Life history vacillates altogether in various species (Behura 1978). One enormous part of the aphid life history is the standard incidental migration between the two changes regularly distantly related to have plants. One is called as fundamental host, used for augmentation (both sexual and abiogenetic), while the other is called as helper have, attacked with the parthenogenetic changes so to speak. For the most part apterous females structure the standard Aphids are of phenomenal plant importance as plant parasites and transmitters of disease ailments of plants. Ghosh (1974) uncovered that out of 653 kinds of aphids nitty gritty from India, 149 species are unmistakable bug of grains, cereals, vegetables plants, characteristic item trees, fiber crops, beats oil seeds, sugar stick, beautiful plants and woodlands trees. Aphids are generally speaking related with underground bugs in an accommodating to imply way. On the adversary sides aphids are developments. The fundamental parasites of aphids come from Hymenoptera, for the most part Aphidiinae, Aphelinidae, etc van Emden (1972) point by point with respect to procedures for examining practicality of ordinary enemies. In India next to no engaged effort has been made to inspect the parasite fauna and similarly actually Commonwealth Institute of Biological Control checked on standard enemies of six fiscally critical kinds of aphids and assembled information on some various species. 6 Earlier, Kapur (1942) disseminated bionomics of some coccinellid trackers in North India while Puttarudriah and conveyed on invaluable coccinellid of Mysore. Aphids structure the greatest social event of vectors for plant diseases and around 200 species are recorded as vectors and one creature assortments, Myzus persicae (Sulzer) is recorded as a vector of more than 100 plant contaminations. The prompt departure of sap by sucking further causes hurt fundamentally and unmistakably lead to contrasts in the yield yet incredibly data in this point is little.
MORPHOLOGY:
Aphids or plant lice are little bugs going long from 1.0 mm to 2.5 mm and in extensiveness from 0.5 mm to 1.5 mm. They shift in size from 1-10 mm long (Miyazaki 1987). The collection of aphid including three areas - Head, Thorax and Abdomen. The head bears a level or curved frons with or without sidelong forward looking tubercles when present is smooth, rugose, equivalent gathering or meandering. Eyes are compound as often as possible with visual tubercle on banner horizontal edges. Every so often eyes are of three highlights specifically. Eyes are for each situation all around made in the alatae and greater in apterae. The radio wires are long as 5-6 separated. Each shows a tremendous fundamental sensorium or rhinarium arranged towards the pinnacle of piece 5 and at the convergence of base of 6 and cycles terminalis, parcel 3, 4 and 5 variable show discretionary sensorial or rhinaria in winged. The stage is found to be 5 separated, fifth parceled is close to nothing and usually interlaced with fourth segment and combined development is known as outrageous rostral piece (urs) having various shapes and shows variable number of extra or discretionary hairs. The chest is the highlight of aphid s body. The chest has three arrangements of legs having ordinary areas. The forewings show a variable pigmented disgrace, a straight or twisted extended territory, twice or once forked or direct media other than butt-driven end cubitus. The hindwings with the most two calculated veins commonly absent or reduced to one vein. Wing veins are variable infuscated or pale or mostly combined. In aphids,
similar in consistency. There is a difference among forewings and hindwing. Media in forewing either is clear or variegated gritty hued, wing veins may be phenomenal or frail and these may be lined natural shaded either along the entire length or simply near the tips or may not shows any coating. The wing coupling instrument contains social affair of 2-5 catches at around 2/3 course along the front edge of the hindwing which control into a pocket on the back edge of the forewing. The waist involves 8 areas finishing off with the 10th segment which acknowledges the development of cauda. The chief segment may potentially get interlaced with chest. Various segments except for eighth area either obviously or especially isolated from each others. eighth part may be of ordinary size or shortened. From 1 to 7, each segment several spiracles at the edge. On occasion seventh area is absent. Tubercles might actually bear hairs. Now and again tubercles on stomach dorsum are smoothly present. Wax plates or pores may be accessible on chest and mid-locale. Their positions are variable in wax plates. fifth stomach tergites conventionally two or three siphunculi which are broaden, tunicate, pore like barrel molded, clavate or fixing and are smooth imbricated or reticulated and with a without hairs. Hairs on siphunculi may be accessible, if present found all over thickly or pitifully. A portion of the time they are coordinated 8 in whorls. Hairs on siphunculi may be fine, hone, coldhearted or with furcated apices. Cauda is accessible in aphids. Assortments in the shape and size of cauda are accessible. Cauda bears two to various hairs. The butt-driven plate is connected with cauda and proposed or bilobed. Aphids are found in various concealing shades like green, dull, gritty hued, dim red, yellow and center shades (Behura 1978). This colouration is either uniformally wherever on the body or may be limited in spots or stripes. Body colouration contains pigmentation in the fingernail skin or waxy exudates (Muller 1961). Within colouration is a direct result of shades in inside organs tissues, haemolymphs and mycetomes, etc aphins the aphid haemolymph.
EVOLUTION:
Aphids probably first appeared around 280 million years ago, in the Carboniferous period. They probably fed on plants like Cordaitales or Cycadophyta. The oldest known aphid fossil is one of the species Triassoaphis cubitus from the Triassic. There were relatively few species of aphids at that time and the number of species only considerably increased since the appearance of angiosperms about 160 millions of years ago. This is due to the fact that angiosperms provide an occasion for aphids to become specialized. Aphids have not always looked like they do now-a-days. Organs like the
DIET:
Various yet far from all, aphids are monophagous (for instance profiting by one kinds of plant). Others, as Myzus persicae feed on many plant species across various families. Furthermore to related families, aphids inertly feed on sap of phloem vessels in plants. This sap being held under high pressure, when a phloem vessel is entered, it is obliged into food channel. As they feed, aphids regularly send plant diseases to their food plants. These contaminations can to a great extent butcher the plants. A couple of animal assortments bugs farm aphids guaranteeing them on the plant they eat and eating the honeydew that the aphids release; this is a mutualistic relationship . Aphid honeydew is affluent in starches, of which the aphids ingest an excess, being phloem-fedders. Various aphids are host to endosymbiont microorganisms, Buchnera, which live in a specific cells called bacteriocytes inside the aphid. These microorganisms mix some crucial amino acids that are absent in the phloem that the aphids eat.
REVIEW OF LITERATURE
(1) WORLD OVER REVIEW ON APHID CYTOLOGY:
Cytological examinations of the monetarily huge social occasion of bugs having a spot with super family Aphidoidea is particularly limited. In spite of the way that composing audit shows that such a work was started in the beginning of twentieth century, anyway the chromosomal examinations in low down perspective had not been cultivated for a long time. Exactly when this work started various workers in Canada, Italy, America, Russia, England and Japan have made their striking responsibilities towards the aphid cytogenetics. Regardless, in India a miserable work is done in the field of aphid cytology. A thorough review of the work done by various workers on aphid cytogenetics is given in this paper. Charles Bonnet (2013) first uncovered the miracle of virgin birth in plant-lice, the aphids. Weissman (2010) appropriated huge paper on the course of action of single polar body in the parthenogenetic egg and the second improvement division is revoked, as such keeping up the diploid number of chromosomes. Blochmann (2009) strangely saw single advancement division in the aphid parthenogenetic egg. By this way he referenced practically identical target actuality.
fundamentally with respect to her examinations on the direct of sex chromosomes and parthenogenetic wonder. During her course of discernment she found two females of Aphis rosae, showed egg string and winter ovaries with making eggs related in the two social events of ovaries, anyway she assume that various morphologically obvious temporary constructions are accessible among virginoparae and sexual of aphids. Morgan (2015) in North America analyzed male and female eggs of phylloxeran aphids and gave the chromosome numbers for Xerophylla caryaefallox Riley (2n=22) and X. globosa Shim. (2n=6). After him Stevens (1906) mulled over the germ cells of aphids in detail and recognized the chromosome number for Aphis farinosa (2n=6). This work approved with her earlier report (Stevens 1905b) on Aphis (=Macrosiphum) rosae (2n=10). Tanreuther (1907) investigated on the germ cells of aphids and gave the chromosome numbers for Melanoxanthus salicicola L. (2n=6) and M.salicis L. (2n=6). Morgan work (2016) on phylloxerans spermatogenesis uncovered that two kinds of spermatzoa are conveyed of which one is utilitarian female making. While other is straightforward. He worked out the positive cytology of Xerophylla globosa Shim. Baehr (1908) ensured that the unpaired chromosome carried on as a sex choosing chromosome and results totally into one helper spermatocyte, other discretionary spermatocyte obtained incredibly pathetic cytoplasm and is more humble in size and declined. He arrived at this goal by mulling over Eriosoma lonigerum Hausm., E.ulmi Riely and Pemphigus bursarius L. Baehr (2014) managed the connection of spermatogensis and oogensis for around one year on Pemphigus bursarius L., P. spirothecae Pars, Macrosiphum rosae L., Eriosoma lonigerum Hausm. additionally, Aphis farinosa Gmel, and recognized a diploid course of action of 20, 20, 10, 12, and 6 chromosomes exclusively in the species. Stevens (2013) found a bit of the aphids unpaired heterochromosomes. Morgan (1909 a,b) in North America examined spermatogensis stages from aphids. He gave n=4 for spermatocytes in Lachnus dentatus. Afterwords he found no folks for this aphids. That might be a result of a probability that the adolescent folks used in this assessment were of various species coming in relationship with grown-up parthenogenetic females of this species. During improvement of male eggs in Aphis oenotherae L., Stevens (1910) inspected the reduction division. Morgan (1912 and 1915) separated the finish of sex chromosome from the male making eggs during his course of study on the pattern of spermatogenesis in Xerophylla caryaecaulis Fitch, X. caryaefallax Riely Baehr(2012) considered coordinating of homologous chromosomes in parthenogenetic oocytes of an aphid to which he called Aphis palmae (possibly Certaphis lantaniae) including a withdrawal stage, which he interepreted as diakinesis. Honda (2013) a Japanese Aphidologist pointed out the fate of the more unobtrusive helper spermatocytes during his assessments on spermatogenesis in Stomaphis japonica Takahashi. Shinji (2013 and 2014) in Japan was the essential man who considered the sort Euceraphis cytologically and gave an alternate sex-chromosomes structure which appears, apparently, to be remarkable among the Aphididae, though similar is found in related social occasions. These discernments were associated with the germ cells of a north American creature bunches which he called to as E.betulae Kalt.. Shinji (1927) during his insight on spermatogenesis found that spermatogonia had four autosomes and four X-chromosomes. In 1931 Shinji presented the groundbreaking significance of the chromosomes of the Aphididae. He gave the portrayal of just about 37 kinds of American aphids, having the generous chromosome number going between 6 to 38 and showed up at the choice that for a creature classifications the chromosomes number and real characteristics are so immovably compared that the of any aphid can be throughout settled from its chromosome number. Paspaleff (2014) portrayed the coordinating of homologous chromosomes in early prophase followed by a development stage. His work on chromosome lead in parthenogenetic egg of Siphonophora rosarum was a great deal of the very that of Aphis palmae (Baehr 1920). Schwartz (2015) gave a portrayal of the cytology of Tetraneura ulmi and stated that the unpaired chromosome went probably as a sex-confirmation chromosome and went by and large into one helper spermatocyte and the other discretionary spermatocyte got practically no and got decayed. Suomalaienen (1933) in Finaland gave an unmistakable portrayal of chromosomal examination on Macrosiphum pisi Kalt. also, found that the loosen chromosome isolating powerfully a little piece of one end being crushed off by the cytoplasmic narrowing during the division of the fundamental spermatocyte. These discernments showed that the little assistant spermatocytes advancement came about due to the genetical results of the insufficiency of one completion of chromosome.
In this cytological assessment the material for aphid species were accumulated from three area of western Uttar Pradesh specifically Ghaziabad, Meerut and Gautam Budh Nagar (Noida). Aphids test are accumulated from a grouping of vegetation in and around Modinagar, Ghaziabad, Meerut, Gautam Budh Nagar (Noida) and their including locales like Kadrabad, Partapur, Rori town, Sikri town, Muradnagar, Mohan Nagar, Mohiuddinpur, Duhai. The aphids were moreover looked on Horticultural and wild plants. In all cases winged and apterous parthenogetic viviparous females and particular instar nymps were accumulated from different territories during the four coming about years i.e., 2009 to 2012. The instances of aphids were accumulated from the fields alongwith their host plants in the polythene sacks which were fix with the flexible gatherings for their mouth. Twig of tormented have plant was taken out immaculately with help of scissor. The material was kept in it continuously without disturbing aphid settlement, alongwith its underground bug trained professionals and its parasites or trackers if available. These were brought to the lab for the further cytological courses of action. The cytological slides were set up from the accumulated material (aphids). One close to the next for each and every model accumulated, the models (alatae, apterae and sprites) were in like manner protected in 70% alcohol for the further use in arranged conspicuous proof.
DATA ANALYSIS
Aphids of Aphis achyranthi Theobald are light green in concealing (Fig.3). Apterae are dull yellowish-gritty shaded with faint siphunculi and cauda. Immatures are yellow with white wax (David 1958). They structure huge settlements on sensitive shoots and leaves of Punica granatum (Pomegranate). Aphis achyranthi are dynamic and deft aphids. They have furthermore been represented from Achyranthes sp. in Southern India (Theobald 1929). David (1958) redescribed it from Punica granatum in Southern India, colonizing sensitive shoots, not went to by underground bugs and droping immediately when vexed. In 1929 Hill Ris Lambers first time recognized this species for its logical characterization. The cytological examinations on these aphids were not embraced going before 1985, when curiously Kurl and Chauhan (1986d) mulled over its karyology and uncovered 2n=8 in this species. Later on, Dey (1995) rediscovered the chromosome number for Aphis achyranthi as 2n=8. For the current assessments, the material was assembled from Modinagar, Sikri Kalan, Muradnagar, Meerut and Kadrabad from 5 different host plants. 5 models are analyzed for its cytology. The general course of mitosis has been continued in by far most of the species. Notwithstanding, we couldn't win for the general course of meiosis in view of the non-openness of sexual sorts of aphids in our arrangements for all intents and purposes all of the creature assortments. The standard and surprising karyotypes other than karyotypes for polyploidy supplements were prepared for all of the sorts of family Aphis, as indicated by the plunging solicitation of their chromosomal lengths. In light of metrical data of chromosomes, the ideograms were produced for common surprising and polyploid enhancements. All of the chromosomes in the diploid enhancements of these species are morphologically vague, in this route there is no indication of the presence of any morphologically discernable sex segments in any of these constructions. Assortments in chromosome numbers have been seen and were explained dependent on mix and irregularity, which is regularly occurring in aphid chromosomes.
