Drepanaphis carolinensis
Drepanaphis carolinensis is a species of aphid in the family Aphididae, subfamily Drepanosiphinae. It was described by Smith in 1941. The genus Drepanaphis is characterized by distinctive morphological features including a sickle-shaped cauda, from which the genus name derives. Like other aphids in this genus, D. carolinensis is likely associated with maple trees (Acer spp.) as host plants, though specific host records for this species are limited. The species name 'carolinensis' suggests a connection to the Carolinas region of the United States.
Drepanaphis idahoensis
Drepanaphis idahoensis is an aphid species in the family Aphididae, subfamily Drepanosiphinae. The species was described by Smith & Dillery in 1968. Like other members of its genus, it is a small, sap-sucking insect that feeds on host plants using piercing-sucking mouthparts. The genus Drepanaphis is characterized by certain morphological features of the antennae and siphunculi.
Drepanaphis monelli
Drepanaphis monelli is a species of aphid in the family Aphididae, originally described by Davis in 1909 under the basionym Phymatosiphum monelli. It belongs to the genus Drepanaphis, a group of aphids within the subfamily Drepanosiphinae. The species has been documented in at least two observations on iNaturalist. As with other members of its genus, it is likely associated with specific host plants, though detailed ecological studies remain limited.
Drepanaphis sabrinae
Drepanaphis sabrinae is a species of aphid in the family Aphididae, subfamily Drepanosiphinae, described by Miller in 1937. The genus Drepanaphis belongs to a group of aphids commonly associated with maple trees (Acer spp.), though specific host associations for this species are not well documented. Like other aphids, it possesses piercing-sucking mouthparts for feeding on plant phloem. The species has been recorded in the Nearctic region with limited observational data available.
