Of these species Chaitophorus saliciniger (Knowlton, 1927) and Aphis serpylli Koch, 1954 are new records for Turkey aphid fauna. With these new records, the total number of aphid species in Turkey comes up to 450. Findings of the presented study and other recent studies showed that with the detailed study Turkey aphid fauna will be substantially increased.
