They are: Aphis craccivora (Koch), Aphis fabae solanella Theobald, Aphis gossypii (Glover). Aphis nerii (Boyer de Fonscolombe), Aphis spiraecola Patch), Brevicoryne brassicae (L.), Capitophorus hippophaes (Walker), Geopemphigus  floccosus (Moreira), Lipaphis erysimi (Kaltenbach), Myzus (Nectarosiphon) persicae (Sulzer), Picturaphis brasiliensis (Moreira), Rhopalosiphum maidis (Fitch), Rhopalosíphum rufiabdominalis (Sasaki), Toxoptera aurantii (Boyer de Fonscolombe), Toxoptera citricidus (Kirkaldi) and Uroleucon sonchi (Geoffroy).
