Protaphis anuraphoides (Nevsky, 1928) View in CoL
Apterae display shades of green to dark green, adorned with a mealy wax coating, with a body length ranging from 1.5 to 2.1 mm. Notably, it bears a close resemblance to P. carthami . This species predominantly inhabits plants belonging to various Asteraceae genera within the tribe Cardueae , including Carthamus , Carduus , Cirsium , Cousinia , and Onopordum . They are commonly found in abundance on the upper sides of leaves, stems, and flowerheads. This aphid species is reported in Ukraine, southern Russia, and southwestern and Central Asia ( Blackman & Eastop, 2024). This species has been reported in Alborz, Lorestan, and West Azerbaijan provinces in Iran ( Mehrparvar, 2024a), but its occurrence on Carthamus has been observed exclusively in Urmia, West Azerbaijan ( Rezwani & Parvizi, 1990).
