It also differs from these species in its aphid hosts and geographical distribution. Aphelinus glycinis is a specialist on Aphis species close to Aphis glycines, but Aphelinus engaeus is reported from Schizaphis graminum (Rondani) and Sitobion ochnearum (Eastop) and Aphelinus ficusae was reared from an undetermined aphid on Ficus sycomorus (Prinsloo and Neser 1994). Furthermore, Aphelinus glycinis was collected in northeastern China, whereas Aphelinus engaeus and Aphelinus ficusae have been reported only from South Africa.</p> </div>	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/9C348C2AA36A41F85C517FBFBDCE55C6	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Like Aphelinus rhamni, Aphelinus coreae has a much narrower host range than Aphelinus gossypii. Aphelinus coreae is very close to Aphelinus rhamni, but male Aphelinus coreae have shorter clubs and, as noted in the key, the two species differ in coloration of scape and mesotibia. Although difficult to distinguish, these species are reproductively isolated in laboratory crosses. Their DNA differs by 2130 fixed substitutions and 293 indels across 1.8 megabases of homologous DNA sequence. They also differ in host specificity: Aphelinus coreae parasitizes species of Aphis, e.g. Aphelinus nerii Boyer de Fonscolombe and Aphelinus rumicis L., not parasitized by Aphelinus rhamni in laboratory experiments.</p> </div>	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/44DE606999E229E504D895911AA84918	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
