RESUMO
A total of 25 aphid species were collected from 49 ornamental plant species in SÒo Carlos-SÒo Paulo, Brazil; 12 aphids were monophagous, four oligophagous and nine polyphagous. A total of 58 aphid-plant associations are recorded, 43 unknown from Brazil. Eucarazzia elegans (Ferrari, 1872) (Aphididae Aphidinae Macrosiphini) is recorded for the first time from Brazil, and Nectandra megapotamica Spreng. (Lauraceae) is recorded for the first time as host plant for Lizerius tuberculatus (E.E. Blanchard, 1939) (Drepanosiphidae Drepanosiphinae Lizeriini). We also describe the injuries caused by aphids to the ornamental plants.
