In this study, 29 aphid species were determined on some weeds grown in Atatürk University Campus (Erzurum) between July and August in years 2017-2018. Defined species included in 10 different genus of Aphididae were sampled from 32 different plant species belonging to 14 families. Among these determined species, Uroleucon taraxaci (Kaltenbach, 1843) had been identified as the new record for Turkey aphid fauna. With this new record, the number of species included in the aphid fauna of Turkey had increased to 571. The aphids biodiversity of Turkey shows the richness due to intercontinental transition region, geographical regions with different climates and diversity of flora. The result of this study clearly indicated the importance of such local studies for determination of the aphid fauna of Turkey.
