A genus of three described species that, as Blackman and Eastop<\/a> note, are arguably similar to Epameibaphis<\/em>.

Cachryphora canadensis<\/em> Hille Ris Lambers<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Back in 2015 I was wandering the streets and parks of Bar Harbor, Maine, and found this aphid on a little plant that I tentatively identified as Solidago<\/em>. I knew immediately the aphid was something I’d not seen before. It is this cool-looking relative of one of my favorite aphid genera, Epameibaphis<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n

Cachryphora serotinae <\/em>(Oestlund)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finding this species for the first time several years ago near my then home-town of Moses Lake, Washington was proof number umpteen that even when I think I’ve collected in an area long enough to have found all the aphid species, I am inevitably wrong. I stumbled on this one feeding on a patch of Solidago<\/em> that was growing among sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata<\/em>) and greasewood (Sarcobatus vermiculatus<\/em>) on the shoreline of Moses Lake. I suspect that the aphid lived in this situation because the shrubs provided good shelter from the wind.<\/p>\n\n\n
