The performed inspection on 18 species of ornamental plants revealed a total of fourteen aphid species pertaining to families Aphididae and Luchnidae; representing eight genera belonging to two subfamilies (Aphidinae with thirteen species and Lachninae). respectively. The genus Aphis occurred by five species and each of geuns Hyalopaterus and Macrosiphum represnted by two species for each one. The results also explained the host plants. seasonal abundance and levels of infestation for the following identified aphids: Aphis citricola . A. craccivora , A. gossypii , A. nerii . A. punicae, Hyalopterus pruni . H. amygdale, Rhopalosiphum padi, Brevicaryne brassicae, Myzu persicae, Macrosiphum euphorbiae, M. rosae, Phorodon cannabis and Cinara tujaflina. The present investigations also illustrated that A. citricola, A. craccivora, A. gossypii, A. punicae and M. persicae had wide range numbers of host plants as polyphagous species. Whilst, H. pruni and H. amygdale as oligophagous species widely distributed on reed plants.
