Uroleucon
U. ambrosiae and U. tuataiae are both collected on this plant species, but ambrosiae has a pale cauda, tuataiae has a black cauda like these specimens have. Description from Aphids on the world's plants also matches:

"Uroleucon (Uromelan) tuataiae Olive Apterae are dark red-brown with blackish antennae, legs, siphunculi and cauda: BL 2.4-3.1 mm. On Ambrosia spp., living on undersides of leaves and in inflorescences. Recorded from eastern USA (New Jersey, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Florida) and from Cuba (Holman 1974b). 2n=12."
