Remarks
A note from Andy Jensen regarding the images of birch-feeding aphids here (5/2/2010):

"Tree aphids are not my strongest area, but I have collected off Betulaceae enough to know that what I think might be Euceraphis often turns out to be Calaphis when seen mounted on slides. I have little experience with them in the field, and cannot confidently recognize the genera from photos. I think some of the fuzzy-legged things in your photos are Calaphis. So, my recommendation is to not put a genus name on many of them in any confident way.

"That said, I can confirm that the 103445 species is a Euceraphis. The others I am not so sure about."
