Abstract

Four species of Lizerius Blanchard, L. cermelii, L. intermedius, L. costai and L. brasiliensis, from South America and four species of Paoliella Theobald, P. reticulosiphon and P. melanocallis from South America, and P. pteleopsidis and P. longirostris from Africa, are described as new. Redescriptions of L. tuberculatus (Blanchard) and P. kenyensis (Eastop) are also given, with keys for the species of Lizerius and Paoliella. Neolizerius is made a synonym of Lizerius. A new subgenus Paralizerius is established. Adhesive vesicles are reported for the two South American Paoliella species. The phylogenetic relationships of the Lizerini are discussed. It is concluded that this tribe branched off from Mindarus–Neophyllaphis-like aphids and that the Schoutedeniini evolved from ancestors that were related to the Lizerini.

Résumé

L’auteur décrit quatre nouvelles espèces de Lizerius Blanchard : L. cermelii, L. intermedius, L. costai et L. brasiliensis d’Amérique du Sud, et quatre espèces de Paoliella Theobald, P. reticulosiphon et P. melanocallis d’Amérique du Sud, et P. pteleopsidis et P. longirostris d’Afrique. Il donne aussi de nouvelles descriptions de L. tuberculatus (Blanchard) et de P. kenyensis (Eastop) avec des clés des espèces de Lizerius et de Paoliella. Neolizerius est classé comme synonyme de Lizerius. Un nouveau sous-genre est créé : Paralizerius. II signale que les deux espéecs sud-amèricaines de Paoliella possèdent des vésicules “adhésives”.
