Abstract: Phylloxerina populi (DEL GUERCIO, 1900) was collected from Populus × canescens and Populus alba, and is redescribed and illustrated.OnP.×canescens this species produces wax and lives in bark crevices, on branches under the scales of dead females of Chionaspis salicis (LINNAEUS, 1758), and in the edge of wounds. On P. alba it was found in woody bud and stem galls caused by Aceria populi (NALEPA, 1890). Differential diagnosis is provided to the three Phylloxerina species known from Hungary. Amphorophora gei (BÖRNER, 1939) and Phylloxera foaae BÖRNER, 1909 are new species for the fauna of Hungary. Newfaunistic data on some aphid taxa from this country are given. With 25 figures.
