(1)Remarks
Andy Jensen on BG images of birch-feeding aphids (2.v.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."
