Abstract:
The experiment was conducted at Quetta to classification of different aphis and thiers host in Balochistan .Aphids were collected randomly from different localities of Quetta such as Baleli, Shaikhmanda, Sariab and Brewrey, etc., during year 2013-2014 and identified them up to the specific level by running the keys of R.L. Blackman and V.F. Eastop. In the whole 5 aphids were identified on the basis of their antennal tubercles, length of third antennal segment, the basal and terminal process of last antennal segment, length of hind tarsus & number of hairs on it, shape or size of cauda and siphunculi. Several host plants were found being attacked by these identified aphids. In view of the greater variation in characters of the specimens in this area, non-availability of detailed descriptions, the keys have been constructed in order to make the future identification easier.
