Uroleucon cichorii (Koch, 1855) View in CoL
Apterae exhibit a shining metallic brown colour with black antennae and siphunculi, complemented by black legs, except for dusky/dark coxae, pale trochanters, and basal halves of femora. Cauda is pale yellow, and their body length ranges from 2.7 to 4.7 mm. These aphids are typically found on the upper parts of stems of Cichorium and related genera of Cichorieae . Their distribution spans Europe, southwest and central Asia, Eritrea, Mongolia, Korea, and east Siberia ( Blackman & Eastop, 2024). This aphid species has been reported on Carthamus in Iran by Hodjat (1993) and Rezwani (1987), yet considering its biology and host association further investigations are required for confirmation.
